By the editors · 2 min readPharrell Williams's 2014 collaboration with Comme des Garçons reads as a powdery unisex floral, more iris-and-violet than its bright pink box might suggest. Lavender and neroli open clean and slightly herbal, before the heart steps into iris and violet propped up by styrax, giving the powder a faintly resinous, almost lipstick quality.
The drydown is the longest movement: sandalwood, vetiver, cedar, and patchouli, all dry and grounding, keep the floral from going saccharine. The composition is intentionally androgynous, soft, close to skin, and reads more clearly in cool weather. It pulls more on the European heritage-floral tradition than anything pop-cultural — which is the surprise.
