The fragrance features Cosmone, Musk, Neroli, Orange Blossom, Petalia, Woody Notes and Amber.

The verdict
Best for
Comme des Garçons is Rei Kawakubo's avant-garde Tokyo fashion house, whose fragrance arm runs one of the most conceptually-cohesive niche lines in the market, most famously the Series 3 Incense collection (Avignon / Kyoto / Jaisalmer / Zagorsk / Ouarzazate) where each fragrance interprets the incense of a specific place. The 17 live pieces on Scendira average .01, are overwhelmingly unisex (15 of 16) and skew Woody (11) with Fresh (4). Prices sit tightly at $125-$210 (average $147), mid-niche band. Standout live pieces: Series 3 Incense: Avignon ($125,.36, smoky incense on warm resinous wood), Series 3 Incense: Kyoto ($125,.30, smoky incense and cedar in a quiet room), CdG 2 Man ($125,.23, smoky leathery wood warmed with nutmeg), Series 3 Incense: Jaisalmer ($125,.17, smoky incense resin with spiced woods) and Series 3 Incense: Zagorsk ($125,.17, smoky pine incense, cool woody resin).
