‘Denim Tears has turned its latest COMME des GARÇONS collaboration into a fragrance, working with COMME des GARÇONS Parfums on an eau de parfum called Tears. The scent is composed around the smell of cotton, extracting its essence from rural Georgia in the moments after rain, when heat lifts off the red clay and the fields sit wet and green. The composition is a musk floral, and it moves in three clear stages. The opening pairs Galbanum, Ambrettolide and Sage, leaning green and slightly resinous from the first spray. From there the heart unfolds across Daffodil, Jasmine, Flouve and Orris, threading soft florals through a grassy, powdery core. The base is where the concept lands hardest, settling into Vetiver, Hay, Cypriol and Musk for a finish that reads dry rather than sweet, carrying a hay-like warmth that echoes the sun-baked fields at its center.’ – Hypebeast
