Copper
Fragrance notes
Character
Copper opens with a sharp green flash, where galbanum and pink pepper give the first spray a brisk, almost electric edge. Black currant adds a dark fruit note underneath, while the metallic accord lends the opening a cool, polished glint. The effect is vivid and slightly strange, like a copper sheet catching hard light in a quiet workshop.
Tobacco Leaf brings warmth as the fragrance settles, joined by the leafy snap of Violet Leaf and the lively lift of Ginger. Those notes give Copper a dry, aromatic shape, while Vanilla, Amber, and Myrrh gradually soften its outline. The base has a balsamic sweetness, though the green and metallic facets keep the texture taut. It feels thoughtful and crafted, with enough oddness to please someone who enjoys Comme des Garcons’ more unconventional side.
Copper is long-lasting, and its sillage forms a modest bubble around the wearer. That balance makes it easy to place in an office, gallery, or daytime city setting, especially with simple clothes and a little room for the scent to speak. Its character is unisex, angular, and quietly warm. People drawn to creamy vanilla or smooth amber alone may find the galbanum and metallic notes demanding, while lovers of green tobacco and unusual contrasts will find plenty to explore. The drydown leaves a soft ambered trace, with myrrh lending the final impression a calm, resinous depth.
