Comme des Garcons - 2 Man EDP 2 Man is a woody chypre that launched in 2004 by Comme des Garcons. The House site simply says, “A worker, a man who loves his work.” The fragrance opens with an aldehyde-laden incense doused church-like feel. There is a rolling spiced fruit. As the fragrance wears, I get a soft iris covered in hay. The fragrance itself is by no means soft, however. The incense and smoky tones continue throughout. The notes are joined by a freshly polished mahogany and rich, rough leather. The fragrance is deep, comforting, heady, and decidedly masculine (assuming you assign gender to fragrance). As 2 Man dries down, the woody note also dries and the incense takes on more of a soapy tone. 2 Man wears on me for roughly 9 hours with moderate projection. Notes: aldehydes, nutmeg, caraway, kumquat, mint, iris, vetiver, saffron, leather, incense, mahogany Perfumer: Mark Buxton
