The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2001 and created by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, Comme des Garçons Series 2 Red: Sequoia is a woody fragrance that embodies the essence of an ancient forest. The composition opens with warm spicy notes and rum, which create a sense of depth and complexity before giving way to white floral and oud accords. Leather and amber provide a rich, grounding base, evoking the lasting strength of sequoias themselves.
One or two sprays are sufficient — the warm spicy notes open quickly but settle into a more subdued presence over time. This fragrance works best in cooler weather when its woody warmth feels particularly comforting.
