HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Zero by Comme des Garçons, launched in 2022 and developed by perfumer Fanny Bal, is a radical expression of simplicity — a reset that embodies the antithesis of excess. The fragrance features fewer ingredients for a lean formulation that blends with precision, reflecting both the brand's olfactory philosophy and its commitment to resource preservation. Top notes of bergamot give way to a heart of Haitian vetiver and rose oxide, before settling into a base of cedar, cashmeran, and musk. This composition creates a woody, powdery, and aromatic scent that is unapologetically minimalist yet deeply captivating.
Zero's top notes of bergamot are bright but fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure that the heart and base notes have enough time to develop. The musky and woody accords bloom over an hour, making it ideal for daytime wear where its understated warmth complements a focused mindset.
