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.

The fragrance itself is absolutely wonderful, though a little sweet initially. The sweetness of the magnolia blends wonderfully with the artificial sharpness of the aldehydes, and the base notes of incense and vetiver make for a warm, slightly smoky finish. The Sumi Ink notes are rather faint but still present and add a contrasting bitterness to the otherwise dominant magnolia.
In terms of Scent Split itself, although the package took a day or two longer than I expected to arrive - service was excellent and let me know immediately that my package had been shipped out after I had inquired about the status of my package. The scent is absolutely authentic, considering that I had purchased a full bottle after trying the fragrance - the tester smelling identical to the official bottle.
Would absolutely shop again, and so ahould you.
