Comme des Garçons Series 2 Red: Palisander is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2001, created by Yann Vasnier and Françoise Caron. Series 2 Red: Palisander settles into a heart of Allspice, Spicy Notes, Cedar, and Rosewood. Comme des Garçons's Series 2 Red: Palisander carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a real head-scratcher. It's a beautifully blended, warm woody spice that evokes artisan soap shops and red hot candies, but its notoriously weak performance means it's often more of a fleeting whisper than a statement.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Given its woody, warm spicy profile, this fragrance leans casual and suits cooler weather, but its subtle projection and short longevity make it largely inoffensive for the office. It's too subdued for formal events and completely unsuitable for sport.

About

Opening with a bright, almost cinnamony wood, Palisander quickly settles into a rich, spicy heart of pimiento and saffron. Cedar and rosewood provide a smooth, dry warmth, while a touch of myrrh adds a subtle sweetness. The dry-down reveals a powdery, almost soapy woodiness, hinting at a meditative calm with a hint of juniper's green bite.
