Comme des Garcons Series 2 Red: Harissa

Comme des Garçons Series 2 Red: Harissa delivers a sharp, green-spicy opening centered around crushed tomato leaves and chili pepper, evoking the fresh, slightly tangy scent of summer produce. Over time, it settles into a soft, aromatic warmth with nutmeg, saffron, and blood orange lending a lightly sweet, powdery nuance that feels both modern and abstract. The fragrance avoids being overly food-scented, though some note a ketchup-like quality in early stages—this is quickly subdued as the composition evolves into a more refined, subtle aroma. While the longevity is moderate and sillage modest, the scent appears most effective in daylight, particularly during warmer months, offering a discreet, intimate presence that lingers just enough to be noticed by the wearer. It appeals to those drawn to avant-garde, character-driven scents with a balance of freshness and spiced complexity.
