The story behind the bottle.
Energy C Lemon by Comme des Garçons, launched in 2008 and crafted by Nathalie Feisthauer, is a bold interpretation of the citrus-aromatic genre. The composition opens with bright lemon and citron notes, infused with bergamot for an added freshness. These top notes are supported by angelica and cardamom, which introduce a subtle spiciness that cuts through the sweetness. The base notes of incense, vetiver, and musk provide grounding warmth without overpowering the freshness above.
Start with one spray to allow the lemon and citron top notes to bloom. The fresh spicy elements will gradually give way to the warm base notes over time. This fragrance is best worn during the day when its crisp freshness can energize your senses.
