The story behind the bottle.
Odeur Du Théâtre Du Châtelet Acte I by Comme des Garçons was launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Caroline Dumur. This fragrance is a complex blend that opens with the fresh spiciness of black pepper and ambrette, leading into a heart of rose, coffee, orris, and orange blossom. The composition settles on a warm base of musk, cashmeran, and virginia cedar. It embodies Comme des Garçons' avant-garde approach to fragrance, blending elements that are both familiar and unexpected.
This fragrance has a rich base that develops over time. Apply one to two sprays initially and allow it to settle for an hour before reapplying if needed. It pairs well with cooler evenings or indoor settings where its warmth can envelop you.
