Comme des Garçons 2 is incense and ink: dry, smoky and a little abstract. It starts cold and bright, with aldehydes, angelica, tea, mate and a flash of mandarin. The heart is the odd, clever part. Ink sits beside magnolia, while nutmeg, caraway, cinnamon, coriander and bay leaf add a dusty spice. The base burns slowly, with incense over cedar, vetiver and patchouli, rounded by amber and labdanum. Mark Buxton composed it in 1999, and it suits anyone who wants a scent that feels more like a building than a bouquet. Voters wear it in autumn and winter, in the evening. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, and the sillage vote leans strong. A 3ml decant gives you a week to decide whether the incense suits you.

The community verdict
Long-lasting wear and strong projection lead the reports for Comme des Garçons 2, though neither has a majority and some experience moderate projection. Aldehydes and tea shift towards ink, incense and vetiver. Its woody, fresh-spicy character suits autumn evenings; winter and daytime work too.

The house
More from Comme des Garçons
Comme des Garçons, the Japanese fashion house of Rei Kawakubo, opened its perfume line in 1993 and put out its first scent a year later. The approach is closer to art than to glamour: woods, incense and spice, cut with odd, bright details such as aldehydes and caraway. Comme des Garçons 2, from 1999, is an early, conceptual piece that wears dark, aromatic and resinous. Wonderwood is a study in wood, stacking cedar, vetiver and oud into something warm yet airy. Amazingreen is sharp and green, while Blackpepper makes its title note the whole point. Most of the range is unisex.
