Launched in 2002, Comme des Garçons Series 3 Incense: Avignon by Bertrand Duchaufour is a fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake city's incense tradition. The composition begins with chamomile and elemi, which introduce an aromatic freshness before giving way to warm spices, labdanum, and ambrette. At its heart lies a complex blend of incense, myrrh, olibanum, and cedarwood, all anchored by the smoky, woody base notes of patchouli and oak moss. This fragrance is quintessentially Comme des Garçons — it blends tradition with avant-garde elements to create an olfactory experience that is both familiar and unexpected.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance sparingly to avoid overwhelming its intricate layers. The aldehydes and spices will fade quickly, but the rich base notes will last throughout the day, making it perfect for evening wear.
