The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002, Comme des Garçons Series 3 Incense: Ouarzazate by Mark Buxton is a fragrance that marries the smoky depth of incense with warm and woody undertones. The composition opens with fresh and spicy notes before settling into an amber base layered with balsamic and musky accords, creating a rich blend of warmth and complexity. This unisex scent captures the essence of Comme des Garçons' avant-garde approach to perfumery, blending tradition with innovation.
This fragrance blooms best after an hour on skin, so apply it in the morning for all-day warmth. It reads as close to skin rather than projecting widely, making it perfect for intimate settings or a quiet evening at home.

Mark Buxton
The blind-test prodigyMark Buxton, born in England and raised near Hamburg, entered perfumery almost by accident: at 21, a German game show challenge to identify 600 perfumes by scent alone caught the attention of Haarmann & Reimer, who offered him a place in their Paris training program.
