Vaquera launches first fragrance with Comme des Garçons

New York label Vaquera is set to launch its first fragrance in collaboration with Comme des Garçons Parfums.
The scent, called “Classique Perdu”, which translates into “Lost Classic”, will debut on September 30.
Described as a perfume that feels both familiar and forgotten, Classique Perdu draws inspiration from the nostalgia of 90s perfume ads, the chemical sweetness of a childhood car’s air conditioning, the airy scent of freshly dried hair, and the metallic shimmer of a summer fountain. The result is a fragrance that invites rediscovery.
Created under the direction of Comme des Garçons Parfums creative director Christian Astuguevieille and perfumer Suzy Le Helley, the fragrance itself opens with notes of lavandin, tomato leaf, permanent marker accord, and blackcurrant. The heart reveals clary sage, iris, and a solar rose, before settling into styrax resin, sandalwood, suede, and evernyl.
It comes in a clear bottle covered with liquidation-style stickers, available in 30ml format, priced at $85.
“Classique Perdu is a rediscovered classic, found where you least expect it,” said Vaquera.
Adrian Joffe, CEO of Comme des Garçons International, added: “I’ve always been drawn to Vaquera’s iconoclastic tendencies, so when I heard the title Classique Perdu I was surprised—but then realized it made perfect sense. And what comes next? L’Éternité Retrouvée? I look forward to finding out.”
The fragrance launches at Comme des Garçons Paris, Dover Street Market Paris and London, and Dover Street Parfums Market in Paris. From late October, it will roll out globally to all Comme des Garçons, DSM, and Pocket stores, as well as select retailers worldwide.

Brazilian cosmetic maker Natura swung to a recurring net loss in the third quarter on Monday, hit by slowing consumer demand in its local market, as well as challenges in the firm’s brand integration in Latin America.
The company’s net loss came in at 119 million reais ($22.02 million) in the July-September quarter, reversing a 301 million real net profit recorded in the same period a year earlier.
It also reported recurring earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) at 577 million reais in the period, a decline of 33.7% year-on-year.
According to Natura’s financial statement, the firm faced revenue challenges throughout its operations, with net revenue reaching 5.2 billion reais in the third quarter, down 13.1% from a year earlier.
In Brazil, Natura’s largest market, where economic growth has slowed amid the highest interest rates in nearly two decades, net revenue fell 3.7% year-on-year to 3.2 billion reais.
“The slowdown in the beauty market in Brazil, first identified in June 2025 and still ongoing, has led to the growth of the Natura brand stabilizing after a period of low double-digit expansion,” the company added.
In its Spanish-speaking Latin American markets, Natura cited integration challenges following the July merger of its Natura and Avon brands in Argentina.
Net revenue in these markets fell 3.9% year-on-year to around 2 billion reais.
