Comme des Garçons likes RED, the RED of the sun, the RED of fire, the RED energy of blood, the eternal serenity of the RED temple gate of the Far East.
The blending of two majestic trees, the Palisander of Brazil and the gargantuan Red Wood from Virginia, combined to create this enigmatic RED fragrance.
Perfumer: Françoise Caron and Yann Vasnier
The perfume for fabrics is an excellent solution to perfume fabrics: curtains, linens, sheets, cushions or to complete your own perfume by vaporizing clothes. Also suitable for those who cannot (or do not like) the use of alcoholic perfumes directly on the skin. The special formula studied by our laboratories guarantees maximum delicacy on the fabrics and an excellent seal of the fragrance. The very low alcohol percentage of the fragrance does not attack or dehydrate tissue fibers, which are instead softened and refreshed from the first use. The product is presented in the characteristic black bottle, with a generous spray dispensing pump. It is advisable to spray abundantly and well distributed on the fabric, then massage the garment to let the perfume penetrate and remove the humidity.

Perfumer : Sonia Constant (Givaudan)
The Fragrance opens with a flower bouquet that enlightens Purple Lily (Florence emblem) and Jasmine, holding each other tight with the power of Italian saffron and oranges’ freshness. The highly rich and precious top note gently lays on an intense heart note, capable of making this dreamlike journey unforgettable. It is at this stage that the elegance of Ylang Ylang appears and is suddenly accompanied by Magnolia’s refined seduction. They are both emphasized by the rare and aphrodisiac Gray Amber, lovingly hugged by the celestial sweetness of White Lily of the Valley.
The entire creation stands on a base of precious woods just like in the most refined Tuscan tradition, where together with Sandalwood, Birch and Terenzi Library’s Musk we find also the strength of Tuscan leather and local Oak’s Musk.
In this precious vial, red as passion, is embodied the emotion that only Florence and its eternal beauty can donate.
Amber, spicy, floral
For centuries the New Moon, that appears as a bright black circle, has been considered symbol of good luck and future prosperity; especially during the glorious era of the Roman Empire.
Like every new beginning, even this time intervals defined by lunar cycles carried with them high hopes for the future and the possibility to make their wishes come true.
This creation opens with a mellow and sweet flower note, where the precious Absolute of Bulgarian Rose echoes while paired to Rosa Tea and Lily of the Valley. This is when the invaluable Iris emerges, sustained by the strength of Cabreuva wood from Brazil. These regal and gentle head note lays on a brave heart created with Indian Black Oudh and Sandalwood, wisely blended with Red Patchouli. These woods find their strength thank to the echo of Orris (the most expensive ingredient of the perfumery) and Red Saffron from Sicily. This heart grows its roots on a base that is up to this regal wonder. It is only now that we can clearly sense the aphrodisiac push of Grey Amber, hugged by Cuban Cedar and Cashmere Wood. In the name of an extraordinary lasting we experince the imperial force of Vietnamese Agarwood and Cambodian Oudh.
The everlasting strength of the City capital of the world enclosed in a drop of eternal regal beauty for true esthete of refined realities, with no time boundaries and without an end, just like the Black Moon cycle.
