Description

Comme des Garçons Incense Series 3 - Jaisalmer transports you to the ancient Indian city, evoking a spiritual and exotic atmosphere. It opens with a vibrant burst of warm spices like cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, and pimento, creating an immediate sense of warmth and intrigue. As it settles, the heart reveals a smoky, resinous incense intertwined with a subtle sweetness from red berries, adding depth and a meditative quality. The fragrance then gracefully dries down to a grounding base of guaiac wood, ebony wood, amber, and benzoin, leaving a long-lasting, comforting trail that feels both ancient and modern. This scent is often considered the warmest and most approachable in the Incense Series, perfect for cooler weather or moments of quiet contemplation. Perfumer: Evelyne Boulanger
