Comme des Garcons Series 3 Incense: Avignon

Avignon by Comme des Garcons unfolds with a bright, almost soapy sparkle—aldehydes and elemi creating an almost metallic shimmer before chamomile settles into warmth. The heart deepens with ambrette's subtle skin-musk and spiced labdanum, then the base anchors everything: oak moss and cedar frame a dense, smoky incense core of olibanum and myrrh, grounded by patchouli and vanilla's sweetness. Rosewood threads through, keeping it airy despite the weight, while the whole thing smells less like fragrance and more like walking through an ancient stone chapel at dusk.
