Comme des Garcons Black Pepper ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 27 July 2016 7 Comments

Comme des Garçons Black Pepper

Comme des Garçons has launched Black Pepper, a new fragrance.

Comme des Garçons new fragrance, Black Pepper is intoxicatingly warm and mysterious. A compelling blend of earth tones and invigorating spice, Black Pepper is sophisticated and long lasting. A scent that is hypnotic, addictive and defiantly bold. A rich combination of natural woods and warming black pepper create an olfactory overdose, Comme Des Garcons once again redefines the formal rules of perfumery.

Comme des Garçons Black Pepper can be found now at Selfridges in the UK, in 100 ml Eau de Parfum for £83.

Update: the description from Comme des Garçons...

BLACKPEPPER is an electric collision of molecules: the crash of spicy pepper seeds suspended within infinite darkness. A powerful subversion of olfactive convention. An incessant investigation of the perpetually unknown. Warm, dry Madagascan Pepper cracks against fiery Cedarwood. Rich, fragrant Akigalawood (Patchouli, Agarwood) fuses with the caramel resin of Tonka Bean. Precious seeds and opulent woods blend in blazing harmony, laced with a musky accord. A profound reinvent ion of familiar exoticism: spice is deconstructed, destabilized, decoded.

    Interesting – I found CdG Black and Play Black both to be nice black pepper fragrances already!

      Yes — does not seem like a new theme for them. But prefer the pebble bottle!

    Funny, I bought MJ Bang on super clearance yesterday at TJMaxx and thought it could easily fit in with the CdG. I hope it has a little more oomph, though

      I wish Bang had done better — best thing MJ did in years.

        Bang is very well done, which is rare enough on the women’s side but the men’s side? That said I could definitely use a Bang Intense Noir Extreme

    Do you know who the perfumer is? Guillaume Flavigny? Much prefer the pebble bottle.
