The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Comme des Garçons and crafted by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu, Red is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that embodies the brand's avant-garde ethos. The composition opens with a fresh spicy blend of cinnamon and citruses, which cuts through the sweetness of cherry and amber to create a dynamic tension. This interplay between bright and warm notes captures the essence of Comme des Garçons' 'anti-fashion' philosophy, offering a scent that is both unexpected and deeply satisfying.
Red blooms slowly, so give it time to settle into your skin. A single spritz on each wrist is enough; the warm spicy notes will evolve over several hours, making it ideal for both daytime and evening wear.
