Ancient ink in the summer sun, #2 is a study in contrasts. Based on the legendary Sumi ink made in the temples of Japan, this seductive fragrance blends the seared wood notes of Sumi with spiritual scents of incense, patchouli and amber, then takes a turn toward the shiny n' happy with the bright notes of magnolia and ripe, fresh new aldehydes (orange and mandarin). We smell something different every time we wear this-it falls somewhere between a mighty Samurai and a humble priest with a jones for gardening. CdG #2 is presented in a silvered, reflective bottle that made Time Asia's Top 10 designs for 1999.

Here's what other people are saying about 2...

I'm a little biased, as I'm a big CdG fan. This fragrance is pretty much my favorite in my collection, granted I don't have much in terms of niche fragrance. I love the rich magnolia and the way it interacts with the aldehydes. This fragrance is fresh enough to wear in the spring, and the cedar is sharp enough to wear in the fall/winter. The incense kind of just serves to add a little more depth and a bit of smokiness throughout. A complex yet wearable fragrance.

This was a total last minute blind buy. I was in the hunt for something unusual and different, so I browsed the avant garde section. CdG perfumes intrigued me, especially after reading a lot of positive reviews. I requested samples of a handful of others and decided, based on the intriguing description and notes plus many positive reviews, to purchase this on a whim. And boy was I thrilled and fell in love at first spray/sniff. Wow. Like others have said, this is definitely a scent that can aid in studying and intellectual endeavors. I have a "thing" for scents. I collect fragrances, and am drawn to unusual fragrances that appeal and excite different moods. Some fragrances have a way of appealing to my more intellectual and introspective side. This is one of them. While it isn't "mood lifting" in the traditional sense, it does do something quite positive to my mood and cognitive processes. It helps me get "in" my zone for when I want and need to be in my head and reflect. I absolutely adore this scent.

Smells sour, and reminds me lady's perfume I associate with a not so good memory

Absolutely chic. Sophisticated and rich, yet subtle. One of my favorites for the night out.

Hmm.. Could it be possible that the aldehydes could be tempered by dabbing, instead of spraying this perfume? I want to make this love work..

I love this perfume. Masterfully crafted, warm, sparkling, deep and meaningful. It makes me beam with happiness, like having a cherished secret. I wanted to give this one a full five stars, and I would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you darn aldehydes! They flossed -yes, flossed- my sinuses. Give me a moment, this is the first time I've had my heart broken by a perfume..

This is one of the most exceptional, unique scents I've ever smelled. You would think since it's a heavier, richer fragrance containing aldehydes, so it could smell like something a granny would wear. I've never been more suprisded though! It begins with a wonderful incense/woody floral aroma (not any particular flower tho). It keeps You very entertained and makes You crave for more and more... Then as the whole scent deepens even more, it gets more exciting with a deliscious, MODERN aldehyde/bergamot/mandarin note. It just keeps blooming and blooming on my skin. I can also detect some vegetal notes and a rooty/woody finish. The whole fragrance itself is so different from everyting I know, but it manages to stay feminine and elegant - not overwhelming. I absolutely adore it, and with hundreds of fragrances I've already smelled, it means something.

I love this scent - will definetely be buying the full bottle. Very warm alluring scent.

By Barbara - teacher from england on 5/17/2008

I got 2 samples and loved the first sample, which picked up the top notes, second sample faded too fast (or is it because I'm used to it now?) I have now purchased 2 full bottles so really looking forward to seeing what they have to offer. Love it!

beautiful warm scent, very earthy.....reminds me of L'Artisan Timbuktu...but found this one lasts longer on me. Very sexy scent, not overpowering, but definitely makes people take notice in a very positive way.

You know why am I reding all these comments? Because I was bored with my parfume eau de cartier and bought CDG2 on a friends recommendation. I thought that I made a mistake and bought the one for ladies and try to understand if it is for man or woman on the web. You say, it is unisex but this parfume is absolutely for women!

ok. so i'll be changing my opinion again. maybe it's something about the really cold September here... but I'm in love again with CDG 2 EDP. It is beautiful and this time it reminds me of cherry made of chrome... go figure!

By trentee on 9/11/2007

A really exceptional scent. Warm, faintly spicy, subtle and very well-balanced. Like CdG White, this really seemed to dissolve into my skin. No matter how much I put on, the scent was never blaring. It's very sexy in a complex way. One of my favorites

By Odette - Program Associate from Atlanta on 6/3/2007

I LOVE THE BOTTLE!! I really wanted to love the scent, trusting that this is for the fashion forward man I tried and tried and tried and still smelled old lady. What is the matter with CdG labeling something "A womans scent"? Just because someone from marketing says chanel 5 is for men doesn't mean it's right. I'll give the parfume to my mom and she'll smell great.
