Antoine Maisondieu

"Blackpepper is a verified 2016 eau de parfum from Comme des Garçons built around Madagascan black pepper and dark woods. Rather than behaving like a sharp, fleeting pepper blast, it is widely described as a soft yet intense woody-spicy composition with a persistent dark aura. The structure centers on pepper, cedarwood, akigalawood, tonka bean, and musk, with some retailers also listing supporting woods, leather, patchouli, vetiver, and cypress nuances. Its DNA feels dry, warm, resin-tinged, and slightly smoky, balancing abstraction with wearability in a way typical of the house. The fragrance is often framed as an avant-garde but approachable spice-wood scent, especially suited to cooler weather and introspective moods."

Reviews Summary

“Reviews consistently describe Blackpepper as an unusually wearable Comme des Garçons release: pepper-forward at first, then increasingly smooth, woody, musky, and softly smoky. Writers note that it is less aggressively sharp than its name suggests, with tonka and woods rounding the spice into a warm, dark, almost meditative drydown. Performance is generally considered solid, with moderate projection and good tenacity, while the overall style is often praised as ideal for autumn and cooler weather.”
