Wonderwood
Comme des Garçons · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2010
≈ $120 · 50ml · approx. retail
Described by the brand as 'a positive overdose of woods,' Wonderwood stacks cedar, sandalwood, guaiac wood, and agarwood into a dense, synthetic-forward woody-amber built by Antoine Lie. A peppery, incense-laced opening gives it a spicier edge than the smoother oud-focused Wonderoud that followed.
