Comme des garcons concrete review.
It s alluring and very wearable but you re not quite sure why.
An anti perfume named simply eau de parfum it came with the tagline works like a medicine and behaves like a drug.
Concrete by comme des garcons is a woody fragrance for women and men.

Comme des garcons concrete is melancholy fun.
The bottle i borrowed for testing even has a few bubbles from where the concrete has dried.
But according to comme des garçons it does and it s a rather incredible scent at that.
Concrete is packaged in the traditional comme des garcons flat bottle that lies on its side only it s encased in a smooth coating of you guessed it concrete.
To the untrained nose beyond the bitter smell of the pavement in the rain it s something that doesn t really seem to have a scent at all.
Last year i thought it would be difficult for comme des garçons to top the magnificent blackpepper but that s exactly what they ve done with concrete.
The fragrance features sandalwood.
This urban take on sandalwood presents such a fascinating contrast between the hard and the smooth as well as blurring the lines between its top billing materials.
Concrete is the one you want when you know no one in the room will be remotely like you.
It is not the perfume to grab when you want to feel pretty butch or even ultra hip.
