Concrete is sold as Eau de Parfum (EDP), a label generally used for a higher fragrance concentration than eau de toilette.

What fragrance family is Concrete?
We file Concrete under Woody, Spicy, Powdery, Musk, Floral, Sweet and Aromatic & herbal.
These are Scentorian's browsing categories; Comme des Garçons may describe it differently. Browse by family.
