This original eau de parfum collaboration from Comme des Garçons is with Denim Tears, the Soho-based streetwear brand led by multi-disciplinary artist and designer, Tremaine Emory, whose work focuses on the African diaspora and the complexities of Black American history.

The resulting fragrance is inspired by Emory's summers spent away from his childhood home in NYC, on visits to his family's small hometown of Harlem, Georgia. The composition evokes cotton fields as an earthy skin scent, glowing with sun-warmed grasses and a whisper of floralcy, lifted by billowy musks.

From Comme des Garçons
Produced by Comme des Garçons Parfums in collaboration with American streetwear brand Denim Tears. Built around the smell of cotton, this dry musk floral composition evokes rural Georgia just after the rain. Scent notes recall heat rising from red clay with wet green cotton fields stretching into the distance, translating Tremaine Emory’s exploration of the African diaspora into an olfactory narrative.
