Radish Vetiver

Radish Vetiver by Comme des Garçons delivers a bold, avant-garde interpretation of vetiver, centered around an intense, vegetal green note evoking freshly cut radishes. It opens with a sharp, slightly peppery, ozone-like freshness that feels clinical and cool, like damp soil or a chilled greenhouse. Over time, this sharpness mellows, revealing a refined, dry vetiver base that is both earthy and surprisingly clean—less muddy than expected, more like polished wood and subtle iodine notes. The scent feels linear but not simplistic; it builds across hours with an unfolding, radiant green character that lingers without fading too quickly. Its calm intensity gives it a quiet, intellectual elegance, making it ideal for warm days and for wearers who appreciate artful, unusual scents. The sillage is moderate and the longevity is reliable, especially on hair or clothing, suggesting it remains noticeable even after the initial burst fades.
