Blackpepper by Comme des Garçons opens with a sharp, sparkling hit of black pepper, more zing than heat. Cedar and akigalawood carry it through the heart, keeping things dry and woody rather than sweet. The base is where it turns serious: agarwood, patchouli, musk and tonka bean, dark and resinous, with the pepper still flickering through. Launched in 2016, it suits anyone, worn equally by men and women who like a spiced wood with real depth. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, mostly in the evening and at night. Longevity leans long-lasting in the vote, while sillage leans strong, enough that a couple of sprays go far. A 3ml decant is enough to spend a week finding out how the pepper settles on you.

The house
More from Comme des Garçons
Comme des Garçons, the Japanese fashion house of Rei Kawakubo, opened its perfume line in 1993 and put out its first scent a year later. The approach is closer to art than to glamour: woods, incense and spice, cut with odd, bright details such as aldehydes and caraway. Comme des Garçons 2, from 1999, is an early, conceptual piece that wears dark, aromatic and resinous. Wonderwood is a study in wood, stacking cedar, vetiver and oud into something warm yet airy. Amazingreen is sharp and green, while Blackpepper makes its title note the whole point. Most of the range is unisex.
