Grace

The moment you step into an art gallery after walking through a bustling city street — the crisp air of bergamot and mint gives way to the subtle, welcoming warmth of rose and musk.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Grace by Comme des Garçons is a composition that balances freshness and warmth with its aromatic and floral notes. The fragrance opens with the brightness of bergamot and mint, creating an invigorating start before transitioning into the heart where Moroccan rose and peach blossom introduce a soft yet distinct floral presence. The base notes of cashmere wood and amber provide a warm, comforting finish that grounds the composition.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of Grace. The aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting, so it’s best applied in the morning for a full day's wear. Its warm base notes settle in over time, making it suitable for an evening out as well.
