Concrete

DECONSTRUCTED SANDALWOOD WITH A POWDERY ROSE OXIDE

Concrete is Comme des Garçons ode to the city of New York, but the name  is not a clue to the fragrance itself. This is a soft scent enclosed in a hard shell.

Perfumer Nicholas Beaulieu's mission was to create a deconstructed and disrupted Sandalwood and the result is a scent reminiscent of many things, all difficult to place. Medicinal, fruity, metallic, soft, newly plastered walls, wood...

The opening has a sweet chalkiness from the rose oxide in the composition. This remains, but over time, it is more of a creamy, sweet sandalwood grounded by Comme des Garçon's classic spice base.
