Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Comme des Garcons, Blackpepper is an avant-garde fragrance that embodies the brand’s commitment to 'anti-fashion' elements. The composition begins with a bold burst of fresh and warm spices, particularly black pepper, which creates an immediate sense of tension and intrigue. This spicy opening gives way to rich woody notes and oud, grounding the scent in earthy depth while maintaining its sharp edge.
Apply a single spray on pulse points — the spicy top notes are strong and immediate, but they quickly give way to the woody base. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its sharp edge can be fully appreciated without overpowering evening settings.
