Vogue 125

Vogue 125 by Comme des Garçons delivers a crisp, modern floral with an initial burst of ink and instant film accord that evokes the sensation of glossy magazine pages and worn film layers. The scent begins with a sharp, slightly chemical opening that lingers just long enough to capture attention before dissolving into a delicate, translucent lily of the valley and peony core. The transition is subtle and seamless, with the mineral and woody notes adding depth without dominating. While some appreciate the intellect and mystery of the concept, others find the film accord fleeting and underwhelming, with the floral heart appearing docile rather than striking. The fragrance wears close to the skin with moderate sillage, making it ideal for intimate settings and warm weather, especially spring and summer. It’s best experienced on skin rather than paper, where the cool, almost metallic greenish tones of the opening feel less harsh. Despite its concept-driven nature, it feels more refined than disruptive — easy to wear but not unforgettable.
