COMME des GARCONS DOT is the latest perfume added to an already extensive roster of scents from the cult Japanese fashion brand. The DOT perfume is formulated to recall the "mysteriousness and allure" of Osmantus trees in bloom, while it is also said to contain bitter top notes of orange, pepper and leafy greens in addition to that of the Osmantus flower.
The COMME des GARCONS DOT fragrance comes in an elegant oblong, abstract-inspired black bottle decorated with small white polka dots and features a silver metal topper.
Last year, COMME des GARCONS released a fragrance designed in a collaboration with Pharrell and artist KAWS called 'GIRL.' COMME des GARCONS DOT is currently available for purchase online or in select retail locations.
