Apothecary<Comme des Garçons PARFUMS PLAY Eau de Parfum – Black

Designed under the “design by not designing” mantra, Play Black is a master class in contrast. Minimalist concept meets maximalist expression. This smoky, spicy unisex fragrance opens with sharp cracked black pepper, pepperwood, and red pepper so vivid you can almost taste it. At its dark core are violet, thyme, and black tea. The drydown leans incense-y and resinous, with birch tar, moss, and tree moss softening the edges.

Think dim-lit rooms, charred wood, and late-night conversations.

Notes: Black Pepper, Pepperwood, Red Pepper, Violet, Thyme, Black Tea, Birch Tar, Incense, Tree Moss
