Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Comme des Garçons Rouge is a divisive marvel, a bold, avant-garde scent that absolutely screams 'unique' but might also make you smell like a well-dressed borscht. Definitely not one for a blind buy, prepare for unsolicited opinions.
A potent, polarising scent that's either 'toothpaste in a bottle' or a 'beastmode' amber-mint masterpiece. This one needs time to mature on the shelf, otherwise it's just raw edges.
