The story behind the bottle.
Energy C Grapefruit by Comme des Garçons is a bold and refreshing fragrance that embodies the brand's avant-garde spirit. Launched in 2008 and crafted by Nathalie Feisthauer, it opens with vibrant notes of grapefruit and petitgrain, creating an immediate sense of freshness and energy. The heart introduces cassis, mandarin orange, neroli, and jasmine, adding layers of fruity and floral nuances that are both uplifting and sophisticated. As the fragrance settles, earthy and woody accords like oakmoss, iris, vetiver, and musk come to the forefront, grounding the composition with a subtle warmth.
Apply Energy C Grapefruit with one or two sprays to capture its bright opening notes. The citrus and aromatic top notes are particularly evocative in the first hour, so wear it during daytime for a fresh and energizing effect.
