Comme des Garçons

34 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Comme des Garçons range is made of

Across the 34 Comme des Garçons fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are incense (35%), vetiver (26%), aldehydes (24%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads more textured than the catalogue as a whole: texture averages 0.72 against 0.48 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

The Comme des Garçons range spreads 0.123 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2004.
