The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Comme Des Garçons Series 4 Cologne : Vettiveru was launched in 2002 and created by perfumer Mark Buxton. This fragrance embodies the avant-garde spirit of its Parisian brand, combining crisp citrus top notes with a rich earthy base. The composition opens with neroli and bergamot, which provide a bright freshness that contrasts with the warm spiciness of white pepper and cardamom. As it develops, cedar and vetiver bring a grounding warmth, while musk adds an enveloping softness.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so let it settle before stepping out — the vetiver base will carry you through the evening.

The blind-test prodigy

Mark 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.
