COMME DES GARCONS - CANDLE SERIE 3 - INCENSE ZAGORSK Candle

Ancient and evocative, the Incense Series features spiritual scents that have stirred monks, high priestesses and holy men throughout the ages. Magic and ethereal, yet bound to the earth, these five scents represent a pilgrimage to the four corners of the globe. An olfactory journey through the world of mankind with one purpose: to capture the mystical and holy fragrances that bring us closer to the divine.

ZAGORSKBuilt around a 14th century monastery, the Russian holy spot of Zagorsk lends its name to this fragrance. Zagorsk opens with a surge of crisp pine and cedar. At its heart is an almost clean feeling… like pinecones strewn on brand-new snow on a dark winter's eve. Pretty poetic, and so is Zagorsk. At the base is Russia's famous birch wood, but not smoky, just the memory of old, fragrant fires burned in an Orthodox church in the middle of a forest. Clear and clean with a touch of melancholy.
