Too good of a perfume. I got a sample and marked it as ‘like’ the first time, but after using it twice I changed it to ‘love’ for sure; I’m going to hunt for the bottle. It has a top note of nutmeg mixed with the rest, but when it settles on the skin it becomes rich and manly: a leather scent that lasts hours. It’s not very strong or heavy, same line as Wonderwood but with woods. Recommended.
Masterpiece of modern perfumery. It has charm, seduction, mystery, and versatility. Mister Buxton, we want you. Leave the cigarettes and beers and return to fragrances like this.
It smells a lot like its sister Wonderwood, it’s 100% masculine. It’s good, but it has downsides: it’s not innovative, it’s been seen before, almost a clone of Carlo Corinto (just this one is less green and without incense). It’s not versatile: not for heat, but for cold, and not for daily use, it would tire you out if you didn’t use it 2 or 3 times a week. I found it a bit boring. It’s not for very young people, but for those over 30 at formal events like weddings or business; I don’t see it for casual walks. It lasted almost 10 hours with medium projection. If you want to try something new, go ahead, but if you can’t get it, try Carlo Corinto: the green bottle smells the same, lasts the same, projects the same, but costs a quarter of the price and is easier to find.
Comme des Garçons 2 Man is what boring designer brands should be making: a bold, visible classic with avant-garde intent. The first hour is intoxicating, like Lea shaving foam turning dark and exotic with incense; that part is my favorite, you don’t want to smell anything else. Then it loses the soapy touch and the woods rise, highlighting a tall vetiver. I hate vetiver, but here it’s so well accompanied that it becomes interesting: humid and balsamic, not to my taste but not repulsive. It navigates between the conceptual and the classic. No one should find it unpleasant. Forget those designer perfumes that smell of cowardice and ambroxan; 2 Man has presence and body without being invasive. You pay just to be scented, something hard to find these days. The bottle is beautiful, dark, and transparent. It’s versatile, neat with a wild touch: a work of art.
Masterpiece of modern perfumery. Focused on incense, leather, woods, and vetiver, I think due to the aldehydes it picks up an ethereal volume, sometimes almost soapy, which makes it versatile, friendly, and wearable. In a few years it will be remembered and longed for like other fragrances disappearing today. In Spain it can be found at a good price (I paid 50€ for 100ml). For that price it’s essential. Exceptional work by Mark Buxton.
Sir Buxton is pure madness: a sweet, dark smoke begging for saffron and vetiver to make you believe in its magnetism. It’s the ‘noir’ brother of Gucci Pour Homme, with a meditative nutmeg heart in a church corner filled with suspicious serenity. As it dries, it continues playing with medieval rites and masculine vetiver. Don’t miss this narcotic prayer, a delicious penance.
For me, it’s a masterpiece of modern perfumery. Focused on complex notes of incense, leather, woods, and vetiver, I believe it’s due to the aldehydes that it takes on an ethereal volume, sometimes almost soapy, making it totally versatile, friendly, and wearable. I think it’s a perfume that in a few years will be remembered and longed for as today’s disappeared fragrances are. In Spain, it can be obtained at a very good price (I paid about 50€ for 100ml). At that price, it seems absolutely essential. Exceptional work by Mark Buxton.
This perfume is an example of how sad the current perfumery industry is, that a perfume like this, which should seem normal to us, seems extraordinary. A very well-constructed woody scent built on an incense note that feels natural and, more importantly, clean throughout its entire development. The harshness of Wonderwood from this same house here turns into sweetness; one is a wild forest, and the other a French countryside. With adequate longevity and projection, it seems like a perfect choice for any man over 30.
Marvelous creation. Personally, it reminds me of the smell of the conservatory where I studied for 10 years, its walls covered in cork (practically odorless); for this, a strong-smelling adhesive is used—could it be this? Or would it be the wood of the grand pianos? In any case, people who have smelled it have told me they don’t like it at first. I totally disagree; it’s possible that the stronger opening scent might displease some, but around 1 hour, it creates the most beautiful, crystal-clear, and vibrant incense I own (and I own several). It even reminds me, in this phase, of the vivid smell of Holy Week celebrated spectacularly in Seville (though without any orange blossom). It’s a clean, complex incense with depth, beautified by its creator. 9.0/10. Originality and quality.
In Comme des Garçons 2 Man the scent focuses on the smoke of incense to create a light, calm, and slow atmosphere, like low clouds at dusk dragging over mountains creating mist before darkening, all in an airy dark grey. After a fresh opening with mint and tangerine that gives me chills, the incense appears as a star figure to stay until the end. Mr. Buxton goes further: he imprints a mysterious and opaque atmosphere, first cold and metallic due to the aldehydes, then warm, dry, and cozy with flowers, leather, and woods. It’s very complex, perfect, and balanced. He handles aldehydes better than anyone. The longevity is good with moderate sillage, very portable and nothing overwhelming. Buxton creates incredible atmospheres; he made one of the best incenses I’ve tried alongside Ambre Fetiche. Rating: 8.5
In Comme des Garçons 2 Man, the aroma centers on the smoke of incense to create a light, calm, and slow atmosphere, like when we see those low clouds in the evening dragging over mountain peaks, creating a similar environment to the fog that forms later as it darkens, all turning into a dark, airy gray. After a beautiful, spectacular, and brief fresh opening with mint and petitgrain that gives me a kind of shiver, the incense appears as a star figure and doesn’t leave until the very end of the dry down. Mr. Buxton goes a bit further here; he is capable of imprinting a mysterious, opaque atmosphere, first cold and metallic due to the aldehydes, then warm, dry, and cozy with the flowers, leather, and especially the woods, all at once very complex, perfect, and especially well-balanced. The sensations are very special, and I have to say and emphasize that the author handles aldehydes better than anyone else. The longevity is very good with moderate sillage, making it a very portable and non-overwhelming fragrance. For me, Buxton creates incredible atmospheres, and in this case, he creates one of the best incenses I’ve tried alongside Ambre Fetiche. Rating: 8.5.
Comme des Garçons 2 Man has always been a debt owed to my collection; after a long wait, I finally bought it at a price that wasn’t exactly comfortable. I don’t know if it’s out of production, but even in the US, it’s hard to find. Not much to add to the very accurate reviews expressed here. With all due respect to what other forum members have stated, I believe its association with Carlo Corinto pour Homme is extremely basic; yes, it has a certain vibe, but it’s minimal, and that doesn’t make it bad when associated with a fragrance that has also made its way through perfume history. However, its aromatic nature and quality are far removed from that work, a matter of approach. CdGM2 is a sharp, filigree incense, a chrome knife in green whose personality is supremely haughty and unapologetic, refined and extremely robust, masculine in fact. Its best use is on days that are mild to cold, and it handles both formality and relaxation; its performance matches its price. A must-have if you collect.
Well, I was here sniffing this new acquisition and writing a fairly detailed review. But I think I’ll reduce it to a few words: This is a masterpiece. Elegant, fresh, bold composition with one of the most original incenses I’ve ever smelled.
Incense, smoke, wood, beeswax, and vetiver… that’s what I perceive in this impressive aroma. The opening seems very original, with mint bringing life to a realistic, smoking incense. After some time, the woods darken it, leaving a mysterious, attractive, “medieval” scent, as Blackened said very accurately. The incredible thing is that, despite these “ecclesiastical” references, Comme des Garçons 2 seems to me to have a modern touch, perfectly current and wearable. Perfect for winter and autumn. Good longevity and discrete projection. Although they are very different scents, it leaves me with a similar sensation to Encre Noire by Lalique. Both are dark, elegant, and different from other proposals. A true achievement.
I like it. It opens with a soapy, aldehydic incense slightly spiced. You can also detect vetiver, leather, and a woody touch of cedar. The evolution smokes a bit. The performance doesn’t seem exceptional to me. Best for autumn and winter. Suitable for day and night. Moderate longevity. Moderate sillage.
COMME DES GARÇONS 2 MAN: Arabian exquisitezse bottled in a Japanese flask. Courtesy of DARKBEAT. It’s curious that a brand with a French name was created in 1969 by Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo, who is now 76. The name came from the success of Françoise Hardy’s song “Tous les garçons et les filles.” The Japanese influence is evident in the minimalist design of their bottles. Rei Kawakubo, along with Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake, revolutionized Parisian fashion in the 80s with conceptual, anti-fashion designs featuring asymmetrical lines, deconstruction, and black as the protagonist. Their triumph in 1981 came with the “Hiroshima Chic” style. Since 2002, the Spanish multinational PUIG has manufactured the brand’s perfumes, making them more affordable in Spain than elsewhere (just like with Gaultier, Rabanne, or Ricci). Again, I disagree with the official olfactory family classification; I would categorize it as a SPICED ORIENTAL, but VERY ORIENTAL and VERY SPICED. The opening is bright, luminous, modern, fresh, and almost androgynous floral, with very marked citrus notes. But that explosion lasts only seconds, and quickly nutmeg, caraway, and saffron take over, turning the Spice Bazaar into the absolute protagonist. The spiced accord begins with that sweaty, thick memory of nutmeg and cumin from caraway, synergized by a dark, deep, reddish-purple saffron. The conception of Kawakubo’s clothing has nothing to do with the immersion into the Arab world of this perfume, which feels more like AMOUAGE than ISSEY MIYAKE. The quality of the ingredients is indisputable. Spiced notes can be repulsive if they aren’t of good origin or balance, but here, the spice sky is touched with fingers. Slowly, the spiced aroma takes on a beautiful incense tint that amplifies the Muslim air of the fragrance. If I didn’t know it was by COMME DES GARÇONS, I’d think it was from a luxury Oriental brand like HIND AL OUD or SHAIK. In the dry down, a leather appears that even GUCCI couldn’t treat better, maintaining a spiced incense aroma that takes over my senses. The performance is above average. COMME DES GARÇONS 2 MAN is a perfume that defines me, and I am totally in sync with it. The walls of my beloved Cordoba appear before my eyes.
Almost everything has already been said about this masterpiece that has truly surprised me. It wasn’t love at first sight; I bought it blindly based on reviews, and the first time I sprayed it on my wrist, I was taken aback—it seemed too strong and “cloying.” It was overwhelming at first, just like the Black Aoud from Montale, another beast in my collection. But once CDG2Man settled, it transformed completely. The room filled with incense, but not the typical heavy Andalusian Holy Week kind; it was much finer, elegant, and substantial. Now, I wear it a couple of times a week, and it’s one of my inseparables. I’ve already ordered more bottles out of fear that it will be discontinued, which is unfortunately common. For me, it’s clearly a masculine scent for cold or fresh climates: autumn, winter, and spring. It fits perfectly with the atmosphere of Holy Week streets. It works day and night: by day, it commands presence, and by night, it creates a halo of mystery and attraction. I agree with everyone regarding its longevity and sillage. In short, an excellent perfume that I recommend trying before buying.
Comme des Garçons 2 Man is a strictly woody and masculine fragrance. It has a spectacular opening, rich in woods and spices; I didn’t perceive the citrus although the aldehydes give shine to the opening, but almost immediately it shows a smoky and resinous wood aroma, loaded with spices, with a masculine personality. After 15 minutes it becomes calmer but maintains its strength. A couple of hours later you perceive a slight floral touch, but it keeps with burnt wood until the end. Better for fresh days; in autumn and winter it would be a good proposal. The longevity is very good: it projects for the first hour and then drops in intensity, but lasts a good couple of hours. By its style I don’t see it fitting with very young people, although I recommend trying it. Thanks to friend @arp for letting me know this great fragrance that I loved.
Comme des Garçons 2 Man is a strictly woody and masculine fragrance. Spectacular opening, rich in woods and spices; I don’t perceive citrus, though the aldehydes give a certain brightness to the opening, but almost immediately it smells of smoky woods and resins, loaded with spices, with a quite masculine personality. After about 15 minutes, it becomes more subdued but maintains its strength. At two hours, a slight floral note appears, but it keeps that burnt wood aroma until the end. I see it as better for cool days; in fall and winter, it would be a good proposal. Longevity is very good, projects for the first hour and then drops in intensity, but it lasts a good couple of hours. Given its style, I don’t think it fits very well with very young people, but I still recommend trying it. Thanks to my friend @arp for letting me discover this great fragrance, which I absolutely loved.
A fragrance that brings me happiness. Fresh, versatile, and classic. It smells like a man. One of my favorites.
CdG 2 Man has a spectacular and glorious sillage: fresh, spicy, dirty, airy, and cold. It quickly loads up with incense and red wood, gets bitter and swells like a balloon until it explodes! What remains is a solid, dark, bitter vetiver that lasts hours. It’s as dry as licking esparto, strictly masculine. A must-try for vetiver lovers.

It explodes, and what remains is a solid, dark, bitter vetiver that lasts for hours. It’s a fragrance as dry as licking sea grass, strictly ‘masculine,’ a must-try for vetiver lovers.
I have a decant of this and a bottle of Bentley Absolute. They smell about 90% similar, with 2 Man being a bit more incense-heavy and Bentley more woody. Projection and longevity are similar, so for the price of 2 Man, you get three Bentleys. In fact, I like this one more because 2 Man up close smells like burnt plastic.
I already read that it brings happiness to someone; very accurate comment. It leaves me with the same sensation. I don’t know if it’s the incense or another ingredient, but it’s a scent that puts you in a good mood. 100% masculine, for men over 30. Ignore the one comparing the synthetic bomb of Bentley to this masterpiece. Remember, cheap things cost more in the end.
Has it lost much potency over time?
Beyond the incense… This warm fragrance has a similar accord to Coca-Cola, wonderful. In this sense, it reminds me of Dior Homme Sport.
One of the few times I’ve smelled a perfume for the first time and gotten goosebumps, feeling deep emotions. That’s why perfumery exists. Thanks for this tremendous creation.
It’s a CDG loaded with woods, especially vetiver. Same profile, but with woods that give it a more mature and masculine touch. It has a smoky nuance, ideal for formal occasions. Performance is similar; I see it more for fall-winter. If I didn’t have the other one, this would definitely join my collection. Very good.
Gucci Pour Homme ADN is the perfume that best defines autumn… more relaxed than Almairac but just as incredible.
