Too good a perfume. I got a sample and the first time I marked it as ‘like’, but after using it twice I changed it to ‘love’ definitively; I’m going to hunt for the bottle. It has a nutty opening mixed with the rest, but as it settles on the skin it becomes rich and masculine: a leather scent that lasts hours. It’s not very strong or heavy, same line as Wonderwood but with woods. Recommended.
A masterpiece of modern perfumery. It has charm, seduction, mystery and versatility. Mister Buxton, we love you. Leave the cigarettes and beers and return to fragrances like this.
Smells a lot like its sister Wonderwood, it’s 100% masculine. It’s good, but has downsides: it’s not innovative, already 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 if you don’t wear it 2 or 3 times a week. I found it a bit dull. 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 average 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 and projects the same, but costs a quarter of the price and is easier to find.
For me, it is a masterpiece of modern perfumery. Centred on complex notes of incense, leather, woods, and vetiver, I believe due to the aldehydes it takes on an ethereal volume, sometimes almost soapy, which makes it totally versatile, friendly, and wearable. I believe it is a perfume that in a few years will be remembered and longed for as other disappeared fragrances are today. In Spain, it can be obtained at a very good price (I paid around £50 for 100ml). At that price, it seems totally essential. Exceptional work by Mark Buxton.
Sir Buxton is pure madness: a sweet, dark smoke invoking saffron and vetiver to make you believe in its magnetism. It’s the ‘noir’ sibling of Gucci Pour Homme, with a meditative nutmeg heart in a church corner filled with suspicious serenity. As it dries, it continues to play with medieval rites and masculine vetiver. Don’t miss this narcotic prayer, a delicious penance.
Comme des Garçons 2 Man is what boring designer houses should be making: a bold, visible classic with avant-garde intent. The first hour is intoxicating, like a Lea shaving foam that turns dark and exotic with incense; that part is my favourite, 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 is so well accompanied that it becomes interesting: damp and balsamic, not to my liking but not repulsive either. 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 fairly to be scented, something difficult these days. The bottle is lovely, dark and transparent. It is versatile, neat with a touch of wildness: a work of art.

This perfume is an example of how sad the current perfumery is for a perfume like this, which should seem normal to us, to appear extraordinary. A very well-constructed woody fragrance on a note of incense that results in natural, and what is more difficult, with a clean sensation throughout its development. The roughness of the 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 a perfect choice for any man from 30 years old.
Marvellous creation. Personally, it reminds me of the smell of the conservatory where I studied for 10 years, its walls covered in cork (practically odourless); for this, a strong-smelling glue is used, would this be it? Or would it be the wood of the grand pianos? In any case, people who have smelled it have told me that at first they don’t like it. I totally disagree; it is possible that the stronger opening scent may displease some, but around 1 hour it creates the most beautiful, crystal-clear, and vivid of all the incenses I have (and I have several). It reminds me even in this phase of the vivid smell of Holy Week celebrated spectacularly in Seville (yes, without any orange blossom). It is a clean, complex incense with depth, beautified by its creator. 9.0/10. Originality and quality.
In Comme des Garçons 2 Man, the aroma centres 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 the mountain peaks, creating a similar atmosphere to the fog that later appears as it darkens, all turning into a dark, airy grey. After a beautiful, spectacular, and brief opening very fresh with mint and petitgrain, which gives me a kind of shiver, the incense appears as a stellar figure to never leave until the 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 cosy with the flowers, leather, and above all the woods, at the same time very complex, perfect, and especially well-balanced. The sensations are very special, and I have to say and emphasise that the author handles aldehydes like no other. The longevity is very good with a moderate sillage, so it is a very portable and not overwhelming fragrance. For me, Buxton creates incredible atmospheres, and in this case, he creates one of the best incenses I have tried alongside Ambre Fétiche. Rating: 8.5

Comme des Garçons 2 Man has always been a debt in my collection; after a long wait, I was able to buy it at a price that was not precisely comfortable. I don’t know if it is out of production, but even in the US it is difficult to find. Little to say about the very accurate reviews expressed here. With 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 is minimal, and that does not 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 an acute and sharp incense, a green-chrome knife whose personality is extremely haughty and without reservations, refined and extremely robust, masculine in facto. Its best use is on days that are mild to cold, and it can handle formality or 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 wonder. Elegant, fresh, daring composition, with one of the most original incenses I have ever smelled.
Incense, smoke, wood, beeswax, and vetiver… that is 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 aptly. 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 discreet projection. Although they are very different scents, it leaves me with a similar sensation to Lalique’s Encre Noire. Both are dark, elegant, and different from other proposals. A true achievement.
I like it. It starts with an aldehydic, soapy incense slightly spiced. Vetiver, leather, and the woody touch of cedar are also noticeable. In the evolution, it smokes a little more. The performance does not seem exceptional to me. Suitable for autumn and winter. 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 arose from the success of Françoise Hardy’s song ‘Tous les garçons et les filles’. The Japanese imprint is noticeable in the minimalist design of their bottles. Rei Kawakubo, along with Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake, revolutionised Parisian fashion in the 80s with conceptual and anti-fashion designs, featuring asymmetrical lines and deconstruction, with 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, so prices in Spain are more affordable than in other countries (just like with Gaultier, Rabanne, or Ricci). Once again, I disagree with the official olfactory family; I would categorise it as an ORIENTAL SPICED fragrance, but VERY ORIENTAL and VERY SPICED. The opening is brilliant, 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 the essence, turning the Bazaar of Spices into the absolute protagonist. The spiced accord begins with that sweaty and thick memory of nutmeg and the cumin of caraway, synergised by a dark, deep, reddish-purple saffron. There is nothing in common between Kawakubo’s clothing conception and the immersion into the Arab world of this perfume, which is closer to AMOUAGE than to ISSEY MIYAKE. The quality of the ingredients is indisputable. Spiced notes can be repulsive if they are not of good origin or balance, but here the sky of spices is touched with the fingertips. Slowly, the spiced aroma is dyed with a beautiful incense that enhances the Muslim air of the fragrance. If I didn’t know it was from COMME DES GARÇONS, I would think it was from a luxury Oriental brand like HIND AL OUD or SHAIK. In the dry-down, a leather appears that even GUCCI would not have treated 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 with which I am totally in tune. The walls of my beloved Cordoba appear before my eyes.
Almost everything has already been said about this wonder that has surprised me immensely. It wasn’t love at first sight; I bought it blindly based on the reviews, and the first time I applied it to my wrist, it put me off—it seemed too strong and ‘stuffy’. It was too much for the opening, just like it happened with Montale’s Black Aoud, another beast in my collection. But once CDG2Man settled, it changed radically. The atmosphere filled with incense, but not the typical Andalusian Holy Week kind; rather, 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 for fear they might stop selling it, which is unfortunately common. For me, it’s clearly masculine for cold or fresh climates: autumn, winter, and spring. It fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the streets during Holy Week. It works day and night: during the day it gives presence, and at night it creates a halo of mystery and attraction. I agree with everyone regarding the longevity and sillage. In short, an excellent perfume that I recommend trying before buying.
Comme des Garçons 2 Man is a purely 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 woody aroma, loaded with spices, with a masculine personality. After 15 minutes it becomes more peaceful but maintains firmness. A couple of hours later you perceive a slight floral touch, but it continues 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 very young people, although I recommend trying it. Thanks to friend @arp for allowing me to know this great fragrance that I have loved.
Comme des Garçons 2 Man is a purely woody and masculine fragrance. Spectacular opening, rich in woods and spices; I don’t perceive citrus, although the aldehydes give a certain brightness to the top, but almost immediately it smells of smoky, resinous woods, 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 aroma of burnt wood until the end. I see it as better for cool days; in autumn and winter it would be a good proposition. Longevity is very good, projecting for the first hour and then dropping in intensity, but it lasts a good couple of hours. Given its style, I don’t think it will suit very young people much, yet I recommend giving it a try. Thanks to my friend @arp for letting me discover this great fragrance, which I’ve loved.
A fragrance that brings me happiness. Fresh, versatile and classic. It smells like a man. One of my favourites.
CdG 2 Man has a spectacular, glorious opening: fresh, spicy, dirty, airy and cool. It quickly loads up with incense and red wood, turns bitter and puffs up like a balloon, then—boom! It explodes, leaving a solid, dark, bitter vetiver that lasts for hours. It’s a fragrance as dry as licking esparto grass, purely ‘masculine’, a must-try for vetiver lovers.

What remains is a solid, dark and bitter vetiver that lasts hours. It’s as dry as licking broom, purely 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 slightly more incense-heavy and Bentley more woody. Projection and longevity are similar, so for the price of 2 Man you could buy three Bentleys. In fact, I like this one more because 2 Man up close smells like burnt plastic.
I’ve 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 lifts your mood. One hundred per cent masculine, for men over 30. Ignore the one comparing the Bentley’s synthetic bomb 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 rare times I’ve sniffed a perfume for the first time and gotten goosebumps, feeling deep emotions. That’s why perfumery exists. Thank you for this tremendous creation.
It’s a CDG loaded with woods, above all vetiver. Same profile, but with woods that give it a more mature, masculine touch. It has a smoky nuance, ideal for formal occasions. Performance is similar; I see it more for autumn-winter. If I didn’t have the other one, this would join my collection. Very good.
Gucci Pour Homme ADN is the perfume that best defines autumn… more relaxed than Almairac but just as incredible.
