Story & heritage
Dover Street Market describes Odeur 71 as the second anti perfume from Comme des Garçons and a deepening of research into cloning inorganic smells from modern daily life.
The official materials keep the composition in the Odeur family: abstract, urban and intentionally resistant to conventional prettiness.
Materials & craft
The second anti perfume. A deeping of the research into solid phase micro technology cloning inorganic smells from modern daily life and mixing them with natural ingredients. Smell of dust on a Hot Light-Bulb, Warm Photocopier Toner, Hot Metal, A Toaster, Freshly Welded Aluminium, The Ink in a Fountain Pen, Fresh Pencil Shavings, Wood and Moss, Bay Leaves.
Odeur 71 is presented through the Comme des Garçons Parfums visual system: a stark bottle-and-carton object, with composition notes foregrounded as the product identity rather than decoration.
How to choose & style
Choose Odeur 71 when the point is not prettiness but character: it works best as a deliberate signature scent, worn sparingly and allowed to read close to fabric or skin.
