The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2004, Comme des Garçons 2 Man by Mark Buxton is a Woody Chypre fragrance that embodies the avant-garde spirit of its Parisian fashion house. The composition opens with aldehydes and kumquat, providing a fresh spicy contrast to the smoky and earthy undertones. Vetiver and incense add an intriguing depth, while saffron and iris introduce unexpected warmth and complexity. Leather notes ground the scent in a smoldering, woody base that leaves a lasting impression.
Apply this fragrance sparingly — the aldehydes and kumquat are bright but fleeting. Focus on areas like your neck and wrists to let the smoky and woody base notes develop closer to skin throughout the day.

The blind-test prodigyMark Buxton, born in England and raised near Hamburg, entered perfumery almost by accident: at 21, a German game show challenge to identify 600 perfumes by scent alone caught the attention of Haarmann & Reimer, who offered him a place in their Paris training program.
