It plays with essences of tar, rubber, gunpowder, ink and nail polish. Among the more experimental creations are the perfume Series 6 Synthetic: Garage full of aldehydes and discordant notes that take you back to the mechanic's workshop, to "Andy Warhol's You're In" perfume, inspired by the original citrus scent used by Andy Warhol for his 1967 work.

2 Eau de Parfum: “Comme des Garçons 2 è a fragrance that plays with complements and contrasts, with reflection and opacity, with light and shadow... with earth and the energy of the sun. An eclectic, particular, delicious perfume” Davide
Concrete Eau de Parfum: A strange, cold sandal. Futuristic and androgynous. It really has, to my nose, the smell of wet cement after a summer downpour. It is not, however, a challenging fragrance, quite the contrary. It even has a rather sweet and soft undertone that makes it very harmonious. Adriano
Copper Eau de Parfum: Copper starts off cold, aloof, pungent, vaguely odourless, and very realistically recreates the characteristic odour of freshly polished copper, acidulous and scratchy. It evolves with time becoming sweeter. Not for everyone Giovanna
Rouge Eau de Parfum: The sweetness of the beetroot è actually mitigated by the scent of earth and grass and, after opening, it comes and goes throughout the day. Subsequently, incense è absolute master with a hint of mint. Sara
