Description
Comme des Garçons White is a distinctive woody spicy fragrance that first launched in 1998, offering a unique blend for both women and men. It opens with a vibrant burst of spices like cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, and pepper, brightened by the tart freshness of pomegranate. As it develops, a delicate floral heart emerges with notes of white rose, May rose, marigold, and lily-of-the-valley, softening the initial spice. The fragrance settles into a warm, elegant base of cedar, styrax, amber, vanilla, and vetiver, creating a sophisticated and enduring presence. This scent is known for its intriguing interplay between warmth and freshness, making it a versatile choice.
