Comme Des Garçons

Swiss Arabian
Play
Spirit
Shared character
Both fragrances are anchored in the citrus family and feature a fresh‑woody backbone. They each contain black pepper, lime and caraway, and share woody and fresh accords, giving them a bright, energetic opening that leans on citrus and spice.
How they differ
Play leans toward a spicy‑fougère profile, adding pepper, saffron, thyme, clary sage, bitter orange, and a marine‑sea‑water facet, plus a mossy oakmoss and earthy patchouli base. Its unique accords are citrus, spicy and fougère. Spirit, by contrast, is built around a greener, fruitier side with cedarwood, geranium, grapefruit and plum, delivering green, fruity and aquatic accords. While both share black pepper, lime and caraway, and sit in the citrus family with woody‑fresh foundations, Play emphasizes herbal‑spice and marine notes, whereas Spirit emphasizes bright fruit, green foliage and a cleaner aquatic vibe.
Who each suits
Play is likely to appeal to wearers who enjoy a complex, aromatic blend with spice, herbaceous herbs and a touch of sea‑water freshness—people who favor fougère‑type scents with depth from moss and patchouli. Spirit is suited to those who prefer a cleaner, greener character with crisp citrus, juicy fruit (grapefruit, plum) and an aquatic feel, ideal for fans of fresh‑green, slightly woody scents.
