Comme des Garcons 2 is a play of light and shadows, inspired by the Japanese art of calligraphy. The light side of the fragrance create new aldehydes, orange, mandarin and magnolia. The black side is ink. This unusual alliance is followed by the sharp oriental composition of patchouli, labdanum, amber, vetiver, Chinese cedar and juniper. Just like the first fragrance, Comme des Garcons 2 is a fragrance for a personality regardless its sex. It was created in 1999. Notes: Aldehydes, Angelica, Tea, Mandarin Orange, Mate / Ink, Magnolia, Nutmeg, West Indian Bay, Coriander, Caraway, Cinnamon / Incense, Patchouli, Vetiver, Cedar, Amber, Labdanum
Despite having no prior experience of Comme des Garçons 2, I had an inexplicable feeling that I wasn't going to have much to say about it.
And I don't know, a two-sentence review doesn't really satisfy me. I don't feel I've adequately considered the scent; I've just confirmed that, hey, yo!, it's a perfume. So I've been indecisively circling this sample for a few weeks, occasionally singling it out, but never following through with testing it.
After the success of Black (quick update: husband sniffed, husband tested, husband smelled amazing, husband declared the perfume bottle-worthy), I thought I might have been a little uncharitable to Comme des Garçons 2 and finally gave the sample a place in the queue.
Apple peel and freshly laundered linens.
That's it. That's the review. I've got nothing else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, I can go into detail about the apple peel and linens: definitely the skin of an apple, not the flesh (a big-ass by-product pile of an apple pie), and ironed linens still warm to the touch (a very authentic, clean-laundry smell, no bottle of lung-clogging fabric softener in sight).
Comme des Garçons 2 is pretty inoffensive, but at the same time it's just sort of…there.
