![]() A few words of reference: Hermessence Rose Ikebana, Charenton Macerations Asphalt Rose, Comme Des Garçons 2. As a Comme Des Garçons, I find it a minor release but surely one of their bests amongst their "easiest" launches. Its an easily recognizable style intellectual minimalism in its very best where all main accords can be counted on fingers, are combined with mathematical precision their aromatic dance is measured like movements of corps de ballet dancers and the quality of ingredients is beyond discussion. I believe it completely reflects her personality and style (they really nailed the brief here). It won't probably make the best starting option for those who are not familiar with this seminal brand yet, but if you're looking for something effortlessly elegant, Grace could really fit your bill.Īs the Grace Coddington fragrance, I rank it very high. I guess in this specific context we could easily refer to it as a succesful example of true minimalism. ![]() There's really not much else to say about Grace smell-wise as the frangrance feels really simple while completely avoiding feeling simplistic. Agrees with white linens, torrid summer nights and walking barefoot but with that certain crystal / plastic quality to keep it urban. Pale, almost whispered but with enough personality to avoid falling into the "fragrance for people who actually don't like fragrances" cathegory. Well, as a matter of fact, Grace surprised me.Īn extremely easy to like and very well refined modern rose with a fragile character. Especially when they lean towards the watery side of the spectrum (eg Amouage Lyric Man which is possibly my biggest fragrance nemesis ever) so I really didn't expect to like the new collaboration bewteen the iconic Grace Coddinngton and Comme Des Garçons. I generally dislike rose notes in perfumery. ![]()
