The Story
Palisander is a bold, spicy-woody fragrance that captures the essence of rosewood with a smoky, almost metallic edge. It opens with a sharp burst of pink pepper and coriander, then settles into a warm heart of palisander wood and clove. The base is a dry, leathery blend of cedar and labdanum. This is a scent for those who appreciate the avant-garde, a true statement piece from Comme des Garçons' iconic Red Series.
