The Story
Comme des Garçons Series 10: Spice - Cinnamon is a bold, minimalist take on the classic spice. It opens with a sharp, almost medicinal cinnamon that quickly warms into a rich, resinous heart. The base is dry and woody, with a touch of incense that keeps it from being too sweet. This is cinnamon stripped of all holiday associations—raw, angular, and modern.
