What the picks smell like
Comme des Garçons Wonderwood (2010) reads as smoky cedar wood, peppery resin, cool bergamot, opening on Madagascan pepper and Somali frankincense and drying down to sandalwood, Javanol and vetiver. Comme des Garçons Odeur 71 (2000) is described as fresh ink, metal, and green bamboo, with notes of ink and West Indian bay. On Comme des Garçons Marseille (2021), expect clean French soap, neroli and powdery citrus; it starts with French soap and neroli and settles on cosmone and ambrofix.
