by Comme des Garcons
Stüssy Laguna Beach by Comme des Garçons offers a light, airy, and seaside fragrance centered around marine, woody, and mossy accords. It opens with a crisp oceanic note—reminiscent of saltwater and sun-warmed skin—balanced with soft white flowers and solar hints. The transformation on skin is subtle: the initial aquatic burst fades into a clean, moss-laden cedar base with a delicate salt-kissed drydown. It feels like a transient moment of summer—breezy, fresh, and quietly evocative. The scent projects moderately, with longevity slightly above average, and performs best in warm weather. While some find it reminiscent of cheap air fresheners or sunscreen, others appreciate its genuine, air-like quality and its unique ability to transport the wearer to an isolated coastal escape. The unisex nature and minimal complexity make it ideal for those seeking a low-effort, natural-smelling fragrance that functions well as a summer staple. The fragrance is particularly suited to warm days and summer months, and appeals most to those who enjoy aromatic, minimalist scents with a focus on sea air and earthy woodiness. It’s not complex or long-lasting in a traditional sense, but its quiet persistence and clean finish are appreciated by many. The scent carries a subtle, unobtrusive presence that can work well in casual or relaxed settings—perfect for beach visits, light outdoor activity, or grounding through simple sensory moments.
