Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - French Attendant 1
A budget take on the avant-garde Comme des Garcons 1994, French Attendant 1 rebuilds its bone-dry clove-and-cinnamon spice over a smoky incense and old-honey base. It captures the warm, resinous chypre character though the animalic-honeyed depth reads simpler and flatter than the original.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Comme des Garcons
Divisive yet iconic, this scent is a proper love-or-hate affair. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but then again, it's not trying to be. A bold, unapologetically spicy masterpiece for those who dare to be different.
