By the editors · 2 min readComme des Garçons 2011 opens with an assertive collision: aldehydes crackle alongside warm saffron and raw leather, producing something that reads simultaneously sharp and animal. The opening has the metallic edge of a freshly struck match.
As it develops, the harshness softens into lilac and hawthorn—delicate florals that provide an odd tenderness against styrax's resinous warmth. Musk bridges the floral heart toward the fragrance's thoroughly unusual base.
That base is the point. Industrial glue and brown scotch tape—genuine adhesive-like synthetic accords—ground the composition in a dry, strange intimacy. It smells of objects more than of nature, and wears close to skin in its final hours.
