description
Rei Kawakubo, Japanese fashion designer and founder of the brand Comme des Garçons, combines olfactory research with the search for emotions. She represents the anti-fashion movement of the 1980s and designs her creations with an intellectual approach, departing from traditional aesthetic norms that she always questions. Housed in a moving, tactile bottle with an opaque orange finish, the 2 Man fragrance designed by master perfumer Mark Buxton is as captivating in form as it is in substance. Crackly mint conveys the freshness of a man who loves to work, paired with spicy nutmeg and invigorating vetiver that combine with luxurious mahogany wood and animalic leather notes. Pepper and its spicy aroma add a twist to the fragrance, testifying to the sharp and pungent spirit of this man with visionary ideas.

nose reviews

Comme des Garcons 2 Man disrupts and surprises us with the powerful character of its spicy notes. Launched in 2004 in collaboration with the perfumer Mark Buxton, it diffuses at the time of its vaporization in first the aldehydes, the nutmeg, the caraway, the kumquat and the mint. Saffron follows, then vetiver and iris that hit us in the heart, then incense, mahogany and leather front in the background notes. Lovers of spicy fragrances are sure to be seduced by this disruptive composition reminiscent of Rei Kawakubo's iconoclastic approach.

perfume reviews

Incense burned with vetiver, for a smoky atmosphere that echoes the smell of a church with greener and woodier accents.

journalist opinion

Dissonant is the word that spontaneously comes to mind upon the first try of this perfume that is not quite one. When icy metallic notes (aldehydes) and burning spices (cumin, saffron, nutmeg) collide, the effect on the skin is intriguing, and let's face it, quite indescribable. It's as if perfumer Mark Buxton's ambition was to compose an atmosphere, a physical experience, rather than a skin scent in the classical sense. Recognizable scents include plastic, old leather, wood fire, tar and icy metal. It's sexy. It's weird. It's intriguing. It's abstract. It's no gender before its time. It's perfectly in the spirit of the avant-garde perfumery that Japanese Rei Kawakubo, founder of the Comme des Garçons label, has been promoting for 25 years.
