Inspired by Series 3 Incense Kyoto - Comme Des Garcons(mens 466)

I am a massive fan of the original CDG Kyoto Incense fragrance, so I had little faith in this dupe but decided to try it. The biggest issue with the original one is that it doesn't project and it's not long lasting. Suprisingly this dupe lasts longer, projects further AND smells 1:1. I literally can't tell the difference between the original and this!!! Amazing job guys, please don't ever change the formula, this one is incredible!

Comme des Garçons Kyoto is a masterfully composed fragrance that blends spirituality with understated elegance. Inspired by the tranquil temples and sacred forests of Kyoto, this scent opens with a serene burst of incense, softened by hints of cypress and vetiver. The result is calming, grounding, and beautifully balanced—neither overpowering nor fleeting.

It evokes the peaceful stillness of a Japanese shrine at dusk—woody, smoky, and cool, with just a whisper of sweetness from subtle floral notes. The performance is respectable, with a gentle projection that makes it perfect for introspective moments or quiet environments.

Kyoto is ideal for those who appreciate minimalist, contemplative scents that speak softly but linger meaningfully. A refined and meditative addition to any fragrance collection.

Wearing it daily, also works nicely as a linen spray

Same same but cheaper

The smell is perfect/ 5 stars ⭐️
