Eau de Toilette

Olfactory Library

Series 2: Red

Originally released in 1994, the concept for CDG’s second series was quite simply, Red. As they wrote, “Comme des Garçons likes RED, the RED of the sun, the RED of fire, the RED energy of blood, the eternal serenity of the RED temple gate of the Far East.”

Reintroduced as part of CDG’s Olfactory Library, Sequoia imagines the majestic Californian redwood tree, gigantic and unique.

“Best tree scent in the CDG Red series thicket, in my opinion - warm, complex, rich in all the right places, and seeming more organic and less abstract than is usual for the house [...] the overall effect is welcoming and embracing and real. Deep notes of well-polished hardwood - no sap or wax or sawdust or anything else - just cleverly-worked, beautifully burnished timber [...] the whole thing to a beautifully spicy multi-faceted high-class hardwood extravaganza, with shades of cinnamon and nutmeg for savour.— trabuquera, Fragrantica
