    Description

    COPPER by COMME DES GARÇONS is a luminous, avant-garde fragrance that dares to blend the cool, electric zing of synthesized metals with the lush, earthy depths of nature. Its opening bursts with the verdant intensity of galbanum, amplified by spicy pink pepper and juicy blackcurrant, before revealing a heart where ginger, violet leaf, and a hint of tobacco intertwine with a shimmering metallic accord. As the scent evolves, it settles into a warm, resinous embrace of amber, vanilla, and Ethiopian myrrh—harmonizing the seemingly irreconcilable into a singular, memorable experience. Encased in a copper vessel, COPPER is a modern olfactory statement: subversive, complex, and strikingly wearable. Created by [perfumer name unknown] for unisex.

    Aliénor Massenet

    Chic and eccentric, Alienor Massenet grew up within a family anchored in tradition. She’s proud of her legacy, but she’s also a liberated perfumer who has no trouble expressing her boundless creativity. Being a dreamy “girl from a good family”, Alienor Massenet shaped her personality as experiences went by, from an English boarding school to the streets of New York. Her freedom is as sacred to her as her roots. Her personality is reflected in her perfumes, which embrace contrasts or unexpected alliances. She also values the opinion of her peers and likes to build lasting relationships with her collaborators. This benevolence towards others is reflected in her commitments. Whenever her work schedule allows it, Alienor runs olfactory workshops for people who have suffered life incidents. At Symrise since 2016, and despite claiming to not have received a chemistry training, this perfumer is mad about molecules and captives, while also being fascinated by new technologies.

    Community Insights

    Reviewers are captivated by COPPER's bold green and metallic opening, praising its inventive, avant-garde character and complex evolution on skin. While the initial burst is widely admired for its freshness and originality, some note that the drydown becomes softer and more conventional, though still pleasant and nuanced.

    Pros

    Performance excellence: Lasts 8 hours or more with moderate-to-strong projection, making it a reliable choice for all-day wear
    Versatile appeal: Works well in both casual and sophisticated settings, especially appreciated in autumn for its warmth and depth
    Quality composition: The blend of natural and synthetic elements is expertly balanced, with galbanum and metallic accords standing out as particularly creative and well-executed

    Cons

    Specific limitation: The standout green/metallic opening fades relatively quickly, leaving a more familiar amber-vanilla base that some find less distinctive
    Situational drawback: May not suit those seeking a consistently bold or linear fragrance experience, as the scent profile shifts significantly over time

    Comparisons

    Similar to Chanel No. 19: Both prominently feature galbanum, but COPPER adds a metallic, industrial edge and a sweeter, resinous drydown
    Reminds reviewers of other Comme des Garçons fragrances: Shares the house's signature subversive spirit and love of contrast, though the metallic-green accord sets it apart

    Vibe & Emotions

    Intrigue: Evoked during the initial green, metallic blast—feels innovative and thought-provoking
    Comfort: Emerges in the drydown as amber and vanilla soften the composition, offering a sense of warmth and familiarity
    Contemplation: The shifting nature of the scent invites wearers to notice its layers and contrasts, creating a reflective, immersive experience
