Est. 1993 · Tokyo, Japan
Comme des Garçons Parfums is the conceptual fragrance house founded in 1993 by Rei Kawakubo, of the avant-garde Japanese fashion label. A pioneer of agender "anti-perfume", it builds abstract, often synthetic accords — ink, tar, incense, hot metal and amplified woods — into wearable art, from the ink-concept Comme des Garçons 2 to the woody powerhouse Wonderwood.
Conceptual, agender "anti-perfume": abstract and often synthetic accords — ink, tar, hot metal, gunpowder, incense and amplified woods — composed into wearable art that favours idea and texture over conventional prettiness.
Signature notes
Comme des Garçons Parfums was founded in 1993 by Rei Kawakubo, the designer behind the influential Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons, with Christian Astuguevieille as creative director. The debut fragrance arrived in 1994 from perfumer Mark Buxton and set the house apart as a conceptual, idea-first project.
The house became a pioneer of "anti-perfume" — abstract compositions that prize concept and texture over conventional prettiness. Odeur 53 (1998) built a scent from non-perfumey materials, and the line grew into a series-based catalogue (Incense, Red, Leaves, Synthetic, Wonderwood) working with noses including Antoine Lie, Jean-Christophe Hérault and Bertrand Duchaufour.
Headquartered in Tokyo with its parfums operation in Paris, the brand has been produced under licence by Puig since 2002. Its agender, unisex approach and willingness to bottle ink, tar and gunpowder have made it a lasting influence on niche and conceptual perfumery.
Comme des Garçons is conceptual and can be polarising, so decants are the smartest way in — sample in 2ml, 5ml or 8ml at Scento before committing to a full bottle.
New to the house? Wonderwood is the most crowd-pleasing entry for wood lovers, and Blackpepper is an easy spicy-woody; Comme des Garçons 2 and Amazingreen show the more abstract, ink-and-gunpowder side.
These are idea-led compositions with real projection — apply sparingly at first and let the synthetic accords open before you judge them.
To buy Comme des Garçons samples in Europe you have a few honest routes: official Comme des Garçons boutiques and authorised retailers for full bottles, or Scento for authenticated Comme des Garçons decants in 2ml, 5ml, 8ml. On Scento, Comme des Garçons samples start at €5.90 — and a 2ml decant is only about 2–4% of a 50–100ml bottle, so you can try the scent properly before committing to a full size.

Popular Comme des Garçons fragrances on Scento — start with a 2ml decant before a full bottle.
Comme des Garçons Parfums is a conceptual, agender fragrance house founded in 1993 by Rei Kawakubo of the Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons. It is known as a pioneer of "anti-perfume" — abstract, often synthetic scents built on ink, incense, tar and amplified woods.
The perfume house was founded in 1993 by Rei Kawakubo, the designer behind the Comme des Garçons fashion label, with Christian Astuguevieille as creative director. The first fragrance was released in 1994 by perfumer Mark Buxton.
It means fragrances built around a concept or unusual material rather than conventional prettiness — scents of ink, tar, hot metal or gunpowder. Odeur 53 (1998) is the classic example, composing a perfume from deliberately non-perfumey notes.
Wonderwood is the most approachable starting point for wood lovers and Blackpepper is an easy spicy-woody; Comme des Garçons 2 and Amazingreen show the more abstract, conceptual side. Try a 2ml, 5ml or 8ml decant first, as the style is idea-led and can be polarising.
Yes. Scento sells Comme des Garçons as 2ml, 5ml and 8ml decants and ships across the EU, so you can explore the house before buying a full bottle.
Yes. Scento states that each decant is hand-poured from an original full-sized bottle sourced through authorised European retailers — never a clone, dupe or inspired-by version. Manufacturer batch codes belong to those original bottles and are not printed on Scento decant vials.
As a rough guide, a perfume atomizer gives about 10–15 sprays per millilitre, so a 2ml Comme des Garçons sample is roughly 20–30 sprays, a 5ml about 50–75, and an 8ml about 80–120. Exact counts vary with the atomizer and how heavily you spray. Available sizes: 2ml, 5ml, 8ml.
No extra customs for EU orders. Scento ships Comme des Garçons decants from within the EU to 27 European markets, so EU buyers pay no import duties or customs charges and usually receive their order in 1–5 business days. Orders to non-EU European countries may be subject to local import VAT set by your country, not by Scento.
Buy a decant to test or rotate a scent, and a full bottle once you know you love it. A 2ml decant is only about 2–4% of a 50–100ml bottle, so it lets you wear Comme des Garçons for days before committing to full-bottle price. For sealed presentation or gifting, an official boutique or authorised retailer is the better route.
Wonderwood and Blackpepper are the Comme des Garçons fragrances our members reach for most, so they are the easiest place to start. If you want to explore further, Wonderwood, Blackpepper, Comme des Garçons 2 make a strong first set in affordable decant sizes.
