Ganja

Ganja by Comme des Garçons delivers a bold, aromatic interpretation of cannabis that leans more toward the fresh, herbal leaf and the surrounding atmosphere than the smoky combustion of a joint. The opening features sharp spiced notes—cumin, black pepper, and a bright green quality—that create a raw, almost medicinal immediacy. Over time, it settles into a woody, smoky, and slightly resinous base with guaiac wood, olibanum, patchouli, and mastic, giving it a layered, almost ceremonial character. While not smelling like burnt cannabis, the fragrance captures the vibes of a weed-centric environment—think head shops, music festivals, or a backyard gathering—creating a nuanced, evocative scent that is less about literal smoke and more about herbal, spicy, ambient presence. The performance is moderately long and carries a moderate to strong sillage, making it noticeable but not overwhelming. It’s a highly unisex scent, yet its boldness means it’s clearly not suited for neutral environments like offices or formal events. Some enjoy the low-key 'BO' quality and the adventure of wearing something that stirs curiosity or commentary. Others are disappointed by the lack of true terpenes or sticky, high-end cannabis notes, finding it more like a spiced herbal cologne than a profound tribute to the plant.
