Comme des Garcons Series 5 Sherbet: Peppermint

Comme des Garcons Series 5 Sherbet Peppermint is a remarkably linear, refreshing mint scent that leans heavily into green, herbal, and slightly spicy accords. It evokes freshly broken mint leaves crushed between fingers—cool, grassy, natural—without any sugary or chewing gum-like sweetness. The mint note is clear and dominant in the opening, supported by white pepper, cardamom, and delicate red berry accents that offer subtle depth and a faint aromatic warmth. The base of white musk and amber provides a light, faintly soft clean sweetness, anchoring the fragrance without making it pasty or creamy. Despite its short longevity and moderate sillage, the scent is celebrated for its authenticity and freshness, especially in warm weather, where it feels like a cool breath of air. It’s lighter than many mint fragrances and wears well during the day in summer, resembling a natural garden or freshly mowed grass, far removed from the hygienic or soapy tone of typical mint scents.
