Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

The dry spice, smoky incense and resinous honey are built for cold weather, suiting autumn and winter best.
Occasions
Its warm, characterful complexity works for evenings and relaxed wear alike, with enough gravitas for formal settings.
