Tears

Went on sale on 18 September 2026 at Dover Street Market London's online shop — £135 for the 50 ml eau de parfum, buyable the same morning. The listing carries Comme des Garçons Parfums' own sheet: Paul Guerlain, creation 2026, olfactive family musc floral, galbanum, ambrettolide and sage over clary sage, iris and solar rose, on vetiver, hay, cypriol and musk. Aus Liebe zum Duft has its page up at €155 with no stock yet, and the house's own site, which lists 55 fragrances, does not carry Tears at all.

Now Smell This carried the launch on 16 September: Tears is Tremaine Emory's Denim Tears translated into scent by Paul Guerlain — the smell of cotton, rural Georgia just after the rain, heat coming off red clay with the fields wet and green. The 50 ml eau de parfum is reported at $180 in the United States, sold through Denim Tears, Dover Street Market and the Comme des Garçons stores. The press notes name daffodil, jasmine and flouve in the heart; the house's product copy reads it as clary sage, iris and a solar rose.

Comme des Garçons Parfums' Japanese arm published the schedule first: a pre-sale from 18 September at the Hankyu Umeda counter, Dover Street Market Ginza and the CDG Pocket shops, then general release on 2 October at ¥31,900 for 50 ml. Dexter Navy shot the campaign in Harlem, Georgia, the landscape the fragrance is written around.
