Copper
The opening shimmer here comes from pink pepper sparking against green galbanum—metallic in the way certain leaves smell when crushed between fingers, briefly sharp before softening.

By the editors · 2 min readThe opening shimmer here comes from pink pepper sparking against green galbanum—metallic in the way certain leaves smell when crushed between fingers, briefly sharp before softening. Ginger and violet leaf add a cool, almost rooty quality through the heart, keeping everything from tilting too sweet despite the vanilla and tonka waiting below. There's an abstract mineral feeling that justifies the name, though this isn't literally metallic so much as it occupies a similar emotional space: smooth, reflective, faintly warm.
As it dries down, myrrh and amber provide a resinous glow that never quite becomes cozy. The effect is less conventional incense and more like sunlight on brushed copper—organic materials rendered slightly austere. Comme des Garçons keeps the composition clean and modern rather than mystical. This works for someone who wants warmth without obvious sweetness, presence without volume.
