Launched in 2009 by Comme des Garçons, Standard is an avant-garde Woody Spicy fragrance created by perfumer Olivier Pescheux. The composition begins with fresh citrus and green notes that evoke a crisp morning walk through the city, only to transition into a warm base of powdery woods and musk that feels both familiar and subtly subversive. This duality is emblematic of Comme des Garçons' 'anti-fashion' ethos, challenging conventional notions of what a fragrance should be.

Application Tips
Standard's citrus and green top notes dissipate quickly, so apply it in layers to ensure that the powdery woods and musk come through. It pairs well with the cool air of early mornings but can feel too light for late evenings.
