Max Richter 01 invites wearers to engage with scent as a medium for memory. This collaboration emerged from creative dialogues between Richter, his creative partner Yulia Mahr, and Comme des Garçons Parfums.

A quiet narrative composed in Richter’s unique voice. The fragrance centers on objects tied to Richter’s life and work: Graphite, Vetiver, Piano Soundboard Cedar, Violin Bow Rosin, Transistor, and Magnetic Tape. The most influential and acclaimed composers of his generation, Richter is known for his ability to seamlessly blend traditional orchestrations with modern electronic elements.

Perfumer: Guillaume Flavigny.

Notes: Cade, cumin, ylang ylang, black pepper, pimento berries, tagetes, cedarwood, vetiver, patchouli

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
