Launched in 2013 and composed by Guillaume Flavigny, BLACK by Comme des Garçons offers a refined take on the oriental woody tradition through a modern, restrained and highly expressive lens. Presented as an 88 ml Eau de Toilette, this unisex fragrance lives in a world of contrasts, where darkness, warmth and texture come together to create a scent with unmistakable character.
The opening unfolds with incense, black pepper and olibanum. From the first moments, the composition feels dry, spicy and smoky, with an almost ritual quality that gives it immediate presence. This introduction sets the tone beautifully, hinting at a fragrance shaped by depth, structure and a compelling interplay of materials.
At its heart, BLACK becomes denser and more nuanced. Licorice brings an unexpected shadowy accent, slightly aromatic and distinctive, merging with Pepperwood, birch tar and leather. The effect is rich and textured, balancing spice, smoke and a supple leathery dimension with remarkable precision. This central phase adds complexity and edge while preserving a sense of elegance and control.
The base of cedar and vetiver anchors the fragrance with a woody, dry and polished finish. These notes extend the scent’s restrained aesthetic and leave behind a clear, structured impression. The composition feels deliberate and contemporary, appealing to those drawn to perfumes with personality, creative direction and a strong visual sense translated into scent.
BLACK brings together incense, woods, leather and spice in a unisex creation that reflects the singular identity of Comme des Garçons. It is a fragrance defined not by excess, but by contrast, texture and a quiet yet undeniable intensity.
88 ml
BLACK by Comme des Garçons is a unisex Eau de Toilette with an oriental woody signature. A bold, contemporary composition built around the tension between smoke, spice, leather and woods.
