Comme des Garçons
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The palm leaf and green pepper strike immediately—a sharp, almost acrid greenness that's simultaneously fresh and slightly sweaty, like crushed foliage warming in your palm. Hazelnut ghosts through, adding an oddly creamy, skin-like quality that makes the whole opening feel disorienting and alive.
Ivy's bitter coolness takes hold alongside coriander seed's spicy, almost soapy facets, while flintstone and gunpowder create this remarkable mineral dryness—like striking matches in a damp cellar. Orris root provides the only moment of conventional refinement, a powdery-earthy reprieve before the composition veers back into industrial-botanical territory.
Vetiver anchors what remains, its rooty greenness now tempered by white musk's clean hum and persistent wisps of smoke. The whole thing sits close to skin, austere and mineral, like moss growing on concrete after rain.
Amazingreen reads like Comme des Garçons raided a brutalist greenhouse and bottled the collision between living chlorophyll and industrial materials. The palm leaf and green pepper alliance in the opening is unapologetically vegetal—not the manicured greenness of a perfume counter, but something more aggressive and sap-sticky. Hazelnut adds an unexpected creamy-woody thickness that prevents this from feeling like a simple green exercise. The heart is where things turn properly conceptual: flintstone and gunpowder aren't just atmospheric suggestions but tangible mineralic presences that rasp against the ivy and coriander seed. Orris root lends a cool, rooty elegance, though it's almost overwhelmed by the synthetic force of the composition. This is greenness as statement rather than prettiness—you can practically taste the bitterness of crushed stems. The vetiver in the base maintains the verdant thread, though it's wrapped in smoke and white musk that feel more like laboratory by-products than traditional perfume materials. It's for those who find most green fragrances too polite, too "spring meadow", too safe. This is what you wear when you want to smell like you've been handling exotic plants in a concrete-walled conservatory where something's just been set alight. Challenging, uncompromising, and utterly committed to its angular vision of what green can mean when stripped of conventional beauty.
