Comme des Garçons 2 Man is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Mark Buxton. 2 Man opens with Caraway, Kumquat, Nutmeg, and Mint, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Iris, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Leather, Mahogany, and Incense. Comme des Garçons's 2 Man carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly polarising scent; some adore its unique woody-smoky depth, while others completely despise its unexpected candle wax-like aldehydes and musky tones. Definitely not a blind buy, but a must-try for the adventurous.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an energetic, almost fizzy aldehyde and kumquat burst, spiked with fresh mint and peppery caraway. This immediately deepens into a rich heart of an earthy, almost inky vetiver, powdery iris, and a hint of warm saffron. The base is where it truly settles - a brooding blend of dry, smoky incense, polished mahogany, and soft leather, evoking images of old wooden churches or snuffed candles.
