2008

Comme des Garçons’ Scent One: Hinoki is a minimalist, wood‑centric fragrance that evokes the crisp, slightly lemony scent of a freshly cut hinoki cypress. The opening is bright and medicinal with camphor and green nuances, which gradually give way to a dry, resinous base of vetiver, juniper, and oakmoss that recalls a dry sauna or a quiet forest path. Its understated elegance and strong association with Japanese onsen culture make it a cult favorite among niche perfume enthusiasts.
