The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Glitter by Comme des Garçons was launched in 2009 and is a creation of perfumer Mark Buxton. This fragrance stands out with its fresh spicy opening that transitions into an aldehydic warmth, punctuated by the brightness of mandarin orange and tea. The heart introduces floral notes like magnolia, while the base features warm spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon, anchored by patchouli and cedar. It is a composition that balances brightness and depth, reflecting Comme des Garçons' avant-garde approach to fashion.

How to wear it

One to two sprays are sufficient — the aldehydic notes will catch the light and project well. This fragrance is best enjoyed in cooler weather as it can feel slightly heavy during hotter days.

Mark Buxton

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.
