    Description

    Comme des Garçons Accident Radish Vetiver is an avant-garde woody green fragrance, fusing the unexpected sharpness of radish with the earthy sophistication of vetiver. The scent opens with an electrifying peppery radish, develops a heart of cypriol and papyrus, and grounds itself in smoky woods and richly textured vetiver. Imaginative and daring, this creation evokes the sensation of venturing through a hyper-modern forest without losing its clean, clear edge. Ideal for those drawn to innovation, it stands out in any perfume wardrobe. Perfumer: Natalie Gracia-Cetto
