By the editors · 2 min readThe third entry in Comme des Garçons' Incense series takes its name from a Moroccan desert town, but the fragrance itself feels less like a place than a state of sun-bleached stillness. It opens with a sharp, dusty frankincense cut by labdanum's honeyed amber, both ingredients refusing to settle into conventional sweetness. There's a mineral quality throughout, as if the resins have absorbed the heat of terracotta walls.
As it develops, the incense thins and becomes drier rather than richer. A pale woody base emerges—no grand cedar statement, just arid woods that seem to amplify the silence rather than fill it. Unlike the more liturgical first entry in the series, Ouarzazate stays resolutely secular.
This is incense for those who find most incense perfumes too solemn or too sweet. Stark, contemplative, deliberately restrained.
