The Fifth Annual Basenotes Awards

Best Niche Women's Fragrance: Comme des Garçons 2 by Comme des Garçons

 

Originally released in 1999 as a unisex scent, in both EDT and EDP, this is not a fragrance for the timid. With notes of ink and incense, to name but a few, this scent develops on the wearer though out the day. Slightly sweet and "inky" to start with, it goes through many phases of "berry" like notes, "pot pourri" like notes and woody towards the end with a lovely ambery finish. Some also comment on its "metallic" tang, more prominent in the EDT. For many this CDG 2 reminds them of Christmas due to its slightly spicy/pot pourri aroma.
