The Story
Comme des Garçons Series 13: Fruit - Pear is a crisp, green take on pear that feels more like biting into an unripe fruit than a sweet dessert. The opening is sharp and aldehydic, with a metallic edge that gives way to a soft, floral heart. The base is clean and musky, with a hint of woods. It's a quirky, avant-garde scent that challenges the idea of a fruity fragrance.
