by Comme des Garcons
Gosha Rubchinskiy by Comme des Garçons is a light, minimalist scent with a distinctive urban and slightly rebellious character. It opens with a bright, slightly synthetic mandarin orange accented by angelica and chamomile, evoking the freshness of a summer day on concrete and steel. The core of the fragrance is herbal, woody, and subtly rubbery, with a powdery-amber dry down that adds a muted warmth. The scent feels grounded in a raw, earthy register—like hot asphalt, damp soil, or a stroller in a skatepark—giving it a youthful, edgy authenticity. It wears close to the skin, with a delicate sillage that doesn't project far. It is best suited for warm weather, especially spring and summer, and feels most natural when worn casually during the day. The overall impression is refined yet raw, intellectually playful, and unpretentious—with a hint of nostalgic funk that lingers faintly in the dry down.
