The story behind the bottle.
Comme des Garçons Series 2 Red: Carnation was launched in 2001 and created by perfumer Evelyne Boulanger, a notable figure within the brand's avant-garde aesthetic. This fragrance opens with fresh aromatic notes that give way to a warm, spicy heart of carnation and rose, grounded by an earthy base. The composition balances the softness of floral elements with a hint of spice, creating a scent that is both delicate and assertive.
Apply this fragrance lightly — the aromatic top notes are fleeting but set off the spicy heart beautifully. The warm base notes will gradually emerge over time, so a single spray on each wrist is sufficient to carry you through the day.
