CB I Hate Perfume has re-introduced the (anti) celebrity fragrance, Cumming, under the name 2nd (Alan) Cumming. If you missed the first Cumming, see the review and the commercial.
The fragrance, which is reportedly unchanged, is now in the CB I Hate Perfume house packaging, and all profits go to charity:
2nd Cumming is exactly the same scent as the original Cumming the Fragrance but in my own unique format. Our "anti-celebrity" scent casts a new look at the classic world of men's fragrance bringing you a scent that is all about Sex, Scotch, Cigars and Scotland. Alan is Smart, Witty, Amusing, Versatile, and very Sexy - exactly like his scent. He also happens to be Scottish...
Please note that Alan and I have decided to donate all profits from this scent to various charities and that's exactly what we do. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be able to do this. A good many of you are fortunate as well and we encourage you to give as generously as possible to those who need it.
CB I Hate Perfume 2nd Cumming is available in 15 ml Perfume Absolute or 100 ml Water Perfume, $69 each. (via cbihateperfume)
I absolutely *love* CB and on a visit to NYC in January I begged the friend I was visiting to take me to his store. Such a fantastic place. Although this wasn’t one of the 3 bottles I left with (I am proud of my restraint…I could have taken the whole store with me), it very nearly was. It’s nice to see this kind of spin on ‘celebrity collaboration’.
Which 3 did you get? I am very tempted to get 2nd Cumming in the water perfume, but do wish he’d do 50 ml sizes…100 ml is just too much for me even in that light a concentration.
I picked up In the Summer Kitchen, Faggot (brilliantly subversive fragrance) and the Rainstorm accord (living in Paris, it rains often…but we never get true downpour storms; my New Englander heart misses them, so Rainstorm is perfect for nostalgic days). This adds to my decants of Revelation, Black March, In the Library… I just adore his work.
I agree that smaller sizes are always a good idea. I’ve started to see a lot of travel sizes in Paris shops, but often they’ll be sold in sets of 3 of the same fragrance. Perfume companies don’t seem to have quite figured out that many of us would purchase more if we could get a larger variety for the investment.
Nice picks! I would happily buy a set of 3…if they did mix n match.
I didn’t know CB had a store in NYC. Where is it?
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, I believe.
Yes, and a very fun shop — I managed to get there once.
Yes, it is in Williamsburg and it has a cute doggy (a mastiff i think) that slobbered on me when I was trying the perfume ^___^
I still haven’t tried Cumming but I still need to. Is this a limited time release?
I saw this on the website awhile ago and was so delighted, since it’s a great scent and I was sorry it had disappeared. The fact that the money goes to charity is even better.
Same here. Also, I still love that commercial. Brilliant.
Ditto. I really want some. Love the name, too…2nd Cumming is even better than Cumming.
I only tried the original Cumming a few months back and loved it. This is great news and gives me an excuse (not like there needs to be much of one) to finally try this line. Yay!
and I just love Alan Cumming! have a big photo of him in my office here! yay for 2nd Cumming!
I’ve been thinking I really need a bottle of this. And at $69, you can’t go wrong, really.
I didn’t notice the price until your comment…snort!
Oh. My mind didn’t even go there. Sometimes a price is just a price. Heh.
Nice to know I wasn’t alone in the gutter, boo.
There was a short video interview on this with Alan Cumming on the New York Times website last Sunday Probably still there. It might have been in the T Magazine section.
This is so exciting! I got a sample of the original some years ago and thought it was a lovely change of pace (I got quite pouty when I couldn’t easily find a bottle). On Christmas my brother and his wife gave me some cash in an envelope labeled “universal perfume gift certificate”, I think this may be what I use it on!
I recently bought a sample of the first Cumming having read the second was in the pipeline……….oo-er! Anyway, I really like it. It just invokes ambling past cool green mossy stone walls with the promise of a warming tumbler of whisky at the end of teh day in front of a log fire. Wow. Did I just write that? Those two, CB and AC, are just so cool. Not sure we’ll see it in the UK so am hoping for a split…….
