CHROME HEART

Comme des Garçons began its fragrance line in the mid-1990s with a bold mission. Rei Kawakubo wanted perfumes that challenged typical smells found in fashion stores. Instead of only focusing on flowers or fruits, CDG scents explore wood, tar, and metal. This idea was very new at the time and helped set the brand apart quickly. Their first fragrance, named simply Comme des Garçons, smelled warm, spicy, and slightly mysterious. People who tried it often said it did not smell like anything else before. It opened the door for the brand to keep creating interesting and new fragrance ideas. This fearless start helped build the foundation for a unique place in perfume history.
