The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002 and created by Evelyne Boulanger, Comme des Garçons Series 4 Cologne : Anbar is a fragrance that embodies the avant-garde spirit of its Parisian brand. It opens with bright citrus notes and fresh spices, creating an initial burst of energy and clarity. This freshness gives way to warm spicy accords and aromatic nuances, leading into an amber base that contrasts sharply with the opening's brightness. The white floral elements in the heart add a touch of softness, balancing the composition’s dynamic tension.
Apply two sprays to ensure the initial citrus-spice blend is noticeable. As it settles, the warm amber base will emerge, making this fragrance ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.
