COMME DES GARCONS PARFUMS

Rei Kawakubo’s revolutionary point of view extends past the corporeal and into the ephemeral with Comme des Garçons Parfums, first launched in 1994 as a conceptual fragrance line that has since evolved into an icon of modern perfumery. Unusual, thought-provoking, and utterly sensory, CdG Parfums are scents for those who wish to expand their mind—from soft and tranquil Concrete and inexplicably metallic Copper to the lush verdance of Amazingreen and ineffable aura of 2. The house’s collaboration with Monocle, which explores four forest themes (Hinoki, Laurel, Yoyogi, and Sugi) are of particular note.
