An extension of Rei Kawakubo's radical universe, Comme des Garçons Parfums has pioneered conceptual perfumery. Under the discerning eye of Christian Astuguevieille, the house dares what no other attempts: to bottle the essence of tar, hot metal, pure oxygen, or raw concrete. This is an artistic endeavor, designed to provoke the mind rather than merely entice.
Yet, beyond the concept lies an absolute mastery of noble ingredients. From the iconic pebble bottles to revered series like Incense (Kyoto, Avignon...) or the woody collaborations with Monocle (Hinoki), the fragrances are complex, spiritual, and resolutely unisex. A perfumery of profound character, for those who seek a truly unique olfactory signature.
About this selection
When Rei Kawakubo launched Comme des Garçons Parfums in 1994, with Christian Astuguevieille as creative director, she applied to perfumery the same radical philosophy as in her fashion collections: rejecting the expected in order to explore unprecedented olfactory territories. From its very first perfume, the house established itself as one of the freest and most influential signatures in niche perfumery.
The DNA of Comme des Garçons Parfums rests on experimentation: notes of concrete, tar, incense or pencil, abstract accords and unexpected materials sit alongside woods, spices and flowers treated in a conceptual way. Thematic series such as Series 3 Incense or Series 4 Cologne explore a theme from several angles, while minimalist bottles extend the house's aesthetic.
Our selection brings together great classics such as 2, 2 Man, Black, Standard, Concrete and Wonderwood, as well as the most sought-after creations: Blackpepper, Blue Santal, Wonderoud, Amazingreen, Rouge, Tears and To Vetiver. Odeur 53 and Odeur 71 in 200 ml, Odeur du Théâtre du Châtelet, the Play range in Black, Green and Red, Marseille, the Series 3 Incense Avignon, Kyoto, Jaisalmer and Ouarzazate and the Series 4 Cologne Anbar and Vettiveru complete the offer. The Scent series, with Hinoki, Laurel, Yoyogi and Syros, and the Hinoki candle also let you fragrance your home.
