Piquant Men’s Perfumes

The COMMES des GARCONS ‘Wonderoud’ Cologne Smells Like Woody Balsamic Oil

With it comes to men’s perfumes the choices of scents really are endless. The ‘Wonderoud’ perfume by high-fashion brand COMME des GARCONS offers men a rather unique fragrance that combines notes of wood and balsamic for a refreshingly edgy scent.

COMMES des GARCONS is known for its popular unisex scents that smell great with both male and female body chemistry. While the ‘Wonderoud’ fragrance is targeted towards men, I wouldn’t be surprised if it smelled equally as great on a woman. The notes of balsamic, honey and wood create a rich scent profile that is dark with a sweet mystic. The perfume is packaged in a stylish maroon bottle inspired by the color of the balsamic vinegar.
