The Story
Comme des Garçons 89 is a bold, avant-garde scent that captures the spirit of the brand's iconic 1989 fashion collection. It opens with a sharp burst of aldehydes and pink pepper, then settles into a heart of iris and violet leaf. The base is a smoky, leathery blend of birch tar and patchouli. This is not a crowd-pleaser; it's a statement for those who appreciate the unconventional.
