Mirror by Kaws
by Comme des Garcons
Mirror by Kaws from Comme des Garçons presents a clean, powdery fragrance with a delicate, soapy freshness reminiscent of a freshly laundered cotton shirt or a light post-shower moment. The composition centers around a soft, airy powder accented with subtle hints of citrus and turmeric, creating a crisp yet gentle aura. Though not overtly floral, there are hints of orange blossom and white floral notes that contribute to a sense of quiet elegance. The scent is understated and refined, best experienced in close proximity, as its sillage is intimate and its longevity is moderate at best — some users report it lasting only about an hour, which limits its use in formal or prolonged settings.
Pros
- +The scent is uniquely clean and powdery, offering a relaxed, comforting aura that feels like a quiet refuge in a crowded world — ideal for spring, morning wear, or casual daytime moments.
- +Its minimalistic, abstract character makes it genuinely distinct among clean scents, avoiding the typical soapiness without compromising freshness.
- +The interplay of powdery, slightly synthetic textures with subtle amber and cashmeran adds depth, making it feel more intentional than generic.
Cons
- −The fragrance lacks longevity and projection, making it impractical for romantic dates, business settings, or situations where the wearer wants the scent to be noticeable.
- −The powdery character leans close to fabric softener or synthetic clean notes, which many find more distracting than appealing.
- −Its subdued nature and short lifespan may make it feel underwhelming for those seeking a more expressive or impactful scent experience.
