What do reviewers say about Absolute and Comme des Garçons 2 Man?
The blend of warm sandalwood and oud gives Absolute a powdery warmth that could lean feminine on some skin, but the papyrus and cedar keep it grounded in masculine territory.Absolute
This is the aldehydic opening that divides the room. Some find it medicinal, a too-sharp jolt before the warmth arrives. It won't play by conventional rules.Comme des Garçons 2 Man
