Description

Serpentine by Comme des Garçons is an avant-garde unisex fragrance that channels the spirit of London’s parks interwoven with the city’s urban edge. The scent opens with the distinctive freshness of grass and green leaves, soon revealing sleek aldehydes and a whisper of pollen for an ozonic, dewy air effect. Its heart carries subtle powders and musks while gritty mineral notes and asphalt evoke the city’s roads after rain, seamlessly balanced by smooth woods and smoky undertones. Modern, abstract, and unmistakably fresh, it becomes a wearable art piece for lovers of conceptual scents. Perfumer: Emilie Coppermann

Community Insights

Reviewers praise Serpentine for its unique take on green and urban freshness, noting its blend of natural park and city air accords as both wearable and artistically daring. Most find the fragrance moderately long-lasting and consider it a standout in Comme des Garçons' creative lineup.

Pros

Performance excellence: Longevity is moderate, typically lasting around 7–9 hours, with a medium projection that doesn’t overwhelm.

Versatile appeal: Ideal for daily wear in spring and summer, especially in urban environments or for those seeking a fresh, unconventional scent.

Quality composition: Reviewers appreciate the balanced blend of green, musky, and woody notes with an abstract, conceptual twist rarely found in designer fragrances.

Cons

Specific limitation: The presence of synthetic 'asphalt' and mineral accords may be polarizing for those preferring more traditional florals or woods.

Situational drawback: May not suit formal occasions where sweeter or richer scents are expected, and could feel too avant-garde for conservative tastes.

Comparisons

Similar to: Comme des Garçons Odeur 53: Both feature experimental, synthetic accords that evoke non-traditional scent inspirations.

Reminds reviewers of: Maison Margiela Replica Lazy Sunday Morning: Both have an airy, clean aspect, but Serpentine is greener and more urban with mineral facets.
