To Vetiver

To Vetiver opens with a bite reminiscent of Blackpepper before quickly morphing into the hay-like, and familiar starring note. What lingers is a warm, earthy muskiness mingled with a hint of incense that sits close to the skin. From Comme des Garçons An enthusiastic olfactory poem about one of our most favorite ingredients. Inspired by Christian Astuguevieille’s eternal adoration of vetiver and composed by Antoine Maisondieu and his blessed nose, the hope for To Vetiver is for lyrical experience of emotion, a happenstance of love and creation, for the ages. To Vetiver is an exhilaration of echoes of an exalted journey along time immemorial and time to come. Released: 2026 Perfumer Antoine Maisondieu Notes black pepper absolute, white thyme oil, vetiver oil, Ambrofix, opoponax oil, musk, myrrh FYI This is the final fragrance created with Christian Astuguevieille, Comme des Garçons' iconic Artistic Director of Perfume, who passed in 2026. He collaborated with CdG's founding Designer, Rei Kawakubo, for over thirty years, pushing boundaries of what perfume can be by integrating bold, modern synthetic notes such as "nail polish" and "packing tape." He was a sculptor, furniture designer and the godfather of "anti-perfume."
