The Story
Comme des Garçons takes a playful turn with Cotton Candy, a fragrance that captures the airy sweetness of spun sugar. It opens with a burst of aldehydes and pink pepper, then settles into a soft, powdery heart of iris and heliotrope. The base is a warm, slightly salty vanilla and musk that keeps it from being cloying. It's a nostalgic, wearable gourmand that surprises with its sophistication.
