Avignon by Comme des Garçons is a fragrance centred on incense, which is at once understated, deep and enveloping.

The opening is soft and slightly aromatic with Roman chamomile and elemi, before giving way to a pure, dry and smoky heart of incense.

The base combines the warmth of vanilla, patchouli and woods (cedar, rosewood) with a musky touch provided by ambrette seeds.

The result is a calm, woody and spiritual fragrance that evokes the hushed atmosphere of ancient churches and weathered wood.
