Community take

Yes, if you appreciate unique woody fragrances that stand out.

Comme des Garcons Series 2 Red: Palisander is often described as a complex and intriguing fragrance, with a strong emphasis on woody and spicy notes. Users frequently mention the prominent presence of palisander rosewood, which gives it a warm, rich character, complemented by spices like saffron and chili pepper. While many enthusiasts appreciate its uniqueness and depth, some general buyers find it challenging and not easily wearable. It is recommended for cooler weather and evening occasions, as its bold profile may be overwhelming in warmer climates. A few users note that it can be polarizing, with a drydown that some find less appealing than the initial spray.
