As the nose behind most of Comme des Garçons' biggest hits, Mark Buxton is no stranger to quirky, modern, exciting twists on conventional perfumery. And so it comes as no surprise that his entry in the Renegades series is indeed both quirky and dynamic, a spicy and woody floral leather with the smouldering sensuality of a young gunslinger out for revenge. Opening with a wild slash of green notes and fiery spices anchored with Buxton's signature black pepper, the scent grows all the more sophisticated with a fresh, smooth rose note set against a leather both well-worn and smoky, like a saddle broken in from years of hard riding and countless nights around the campfire. A base of warm amber and spicy vetiver-inflected woods soothes while still maintaining the frontier ruggedness that gives this fragrance its thrilling edge. Smooth and rough, dirty and floral, fiery and green- Mark Buxton's Renegades is a fragrance of intoxicating contradictions.
