Scent Three: Sugi

The hushed quiet of a forest trail after an autumn rain, where the earthy aroma of fallen leaves mingles with fresh pine and cedar.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013 by Comme des Garçons and crafted by Antoine Maisondieu, Scent Three: Sugi is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that embodies the brand's avant-garde spirit. The composition opens with cypress and Madagascar pepper, creating an invigorating freshness that transitions into a heart of iris, adding a subtle floral depth. This is grounded by a rich base of Virginian cedar, pine tree, and Haitian vetiver, which evoke the earthy essence of a forest floor. Sugi is neither overly sweet nor heavy, making it a versatile scent for those who appreciate understated elegance.

How to wear it

Apply Scent Three: Sugi lightly to avoid overwhelming its subtle nuances. The iris note blooms best close to skin, so focus on pulse points for a more intimate experience. It's ideal for cooler weather when you want a scent that feels both grounded and fresh.
