COMME des GARÇONS Unveils the Simplistic ZERO Fragrance
Fashion imprint COMME des GARÇONS introduces its new signature unisex perfume with the ZERO fragrance. It is developed by perfumer Fanny Bal, who is also the same mastermind behind iconic scents such as the Wild Leather by YSl and Autumn Vibe by Maison Margiela.
The new scent blends together notes of cedar, vetiver, musk, bergamot, and rose oxide. It is described to be a “return to ground zero,” which is referenced by its namesake. The brand states that “The fragrance represents a radical expression of simplicity; a reset, the antithesis of excess [...] ZERO Eau de Parfum contains fewer ingredients, a lean formulation that blends with precision, in tune with both the Comme des Garçons olfactory philosophy and the preservation of resources.”
