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.
