Series 3 Incense: Ouarzazate

Comme des Garçons · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2002

≈ $100 · 50ml · approx. retail

Named for the Moroccan city and representing Islam in the Series 3 Incense set, Ouarzazate pairs a green-tea-and-pepper opening with dry sage and guaiac wood before resolving into a soft labdanum-vanilla base. Mark Buxton's composition is often described as the most unusual of the five, with green tea sitting unexpectedly alongside classic church incense.
