Comme des Garçons Wonderwood

Opens dry and almost austere — raw cedar stripped of sweetness, edged with the smoky bitterness of guaiac wood and a faint juniper sharpness that reads more resinous than fruity. The heart settles into a dense, tightly woven core: sandalwood and cashmere wood add just enough creaminess to keep it from feeling clinical, while vetiver anchors the whole thing with an earthy, slightly metallic undercurrent. Projection is moderate and close to the skin; the dry-down is long, quiet, and genuinely woody without tipping into cologne territory — built for cold weather and people who want wood that smells like wood, not a department store floor.
