WONDERWOOD COMME des GARÇONS
An evocation of exuberance.
A positive overdose of woods, woody notes and synthetic wood constructions (Wood gone mad).
Images. Inspirations. Ingredients.
WOODS
Oud (Agarwood): Tibetans use it to bring energy to the center, Sufis use it for ceremonies, worth it's weight in gold.
Cedarwood: King of the forest, tree of God.
Sandalwood: Carvings, worship, medical.
Cypress wood: The first choice of Iranian gardens.
Gaiacwood: Tree of life bearing blue flowers.
WOODY NOTES
Patchouli: Perfume, medicine, hippies.
Vetiver: The roots are made into mats and hung in doorways to keep cool in India.
SYNTHETIC WOOD COMPOSITIONS
Javanol: The new generation of Sandalwood.
Cashmeran: Pine and Patchouli
Pachminol: Sandalwood notes with balsamic touch and Rose.
STRUCTURE
The structure is very fluid with most of the WOOD IDEAS concentrated in the heart, rather than the base.
AROUND THE HEAD: Madagascan Pepper, Bergamot, Somalian Incense, Nutmeg.
IN THE HEART: Cristalon, Cashmeran, Gaiacwood, Cedarwood, Carvi Grains.
AT THE END: Javanol, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Oud (Agarwood)
A CONCLUSION
Bewildering in it's conception, spectacular in it's evolution: mysterious yet perturbing in it's application, luxurious but uplifting in it's effect. A world overflowing with wondrous woods, the creation of the ultimate wood fragrance, WONDERWOOD.
IN CELEBRATION
To mark the launch of WONDERWOOD, a short film has been made by the Brother Quay, highly renowned for their stop motion technique of film making. The piece entitled WONDERWOOD, is about a man who loved trees more than words could say. An allegorical representation of non verbal passion, the film expressed through visual rapture the beautiful exorbitance of this new COMME des GARÇONS fragrance.
Available soon in 50ml and 100ml Eau de Parfum
