The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Comme des Garçons Series 2 Red: Palisander, launched in 2001 and created by Francoise Caron and Yann Vasnier, is a Woody Chypre fragrance that embodies the avant-garde spirit of its brand. The composition opens with fresh and aromatic notes, giving way to a warm spicy heart before settling into an enveloping base of woody and balsamic accords. This fragrance is a study in contrast, balancing crisp freshness with rich warmth.

How to wear it

Apply this parfum lightly — its rich base notes develop slowly and will last throughout the day. Best applied to pulse points for a close-to-skin experience that evolves gradually.
