COMME des GARÇONS scent two
by Vincent
Rei Kawakubo’s CDG made its name by walking on its own separate path. No other brand in the world has evoked such reactions as awestruck, confusion, outrage & admiration all at the same time. While they’ve been on the pursuit to push the envelope on the catwalk, their line of unisex fragrances are not an exception to that mindset. For their Scent Two, COMME des GARÇONS didn’t hesitate to explore boundaries by using exotic mixes of ingredients such as incense, Sumi ink, amber, patchoulli, Chinese cedarwood, cumin, vertiver, tar and fresh magnolia; all held together in a clashing silver canister which was part of Time Asia’s Top 10 Designs in 1999. Although I’m not a man of scents, I allowed a little bit of indulgence to my regard by purchasing the number 2 by Antonio Puig, mainly because i felt the dandyism slowly take place in me

Just backtracking through your blog and I must say I am delighted to find this here. Not enough people out there focus at all on fragrances and that is a shame, especially since a little digging into the world of scents brings out such gems. This particular scent is a personal favorite, very unique.
@azam : I very much agree with that, I think most men are afraid to explore that area and rather stick to their ralph lauren after shaves. This definitely is something different, and you are sure to make notice when entering a room.
