What does Comme des Garçons (1994) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The scent is built around spice and resin: black pepper, nutmeg and clove join the cinnamon for a warm, dry frame, while honey and rose sweeten it. Frankincense, labdanum and styrax add a resinous, slightly smoky depth, with sandalwood and cedarwood holding the woody base. The accords also include animal and leathery shades, so the floral sweetness comes with a synthetic, far from soft edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is most often placed in the evening or a night out. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.
