‘Wonderwood’ Short Film by Comme Des Garçons

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

For it’s new fragrance, Wonderwood, Comme des Garçons has created a very enigmatic short film.

The featurette, directed by the English duo Brothers Quay, tells the tale of a man who “loved trees more than words could say.” In typical Comme style, this translates into a hallucinogenic stop-motion journey featuring a busy woodpecker, wood sprites, parquet flooring and enchanted acorns set to a haunting soundtrack.

Comme des Garçons fragrances and accessories are stocked at 4.

Launch and Screening of ‘Wonderwood’ by Comme des Garcons, London

Friday, May 7th, 2010

To mark the launch of Comme des Garcons’ latest fragrance ‘Wonderwood’, the Quay Brothers produced a film of the same name which was screened in London for the first time last night.

For those curious about the new CDG scent,  ‘Wonderwood’ is made up of Oud, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Cypress wood and Gaiac wood with notes of Patchouli, vetyver, Javanol, Cashmeran and Pachminol. Think sultry, sensual and very exotic. 4 exclusively stock the largest representation of CDG ‘parfum’ in Kuwait. We hope to get our fingers on this one soon.

Here are some pictures from the night:

Agonist Parfums

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Agonist is a new fragrance brand that originated in Sweden, just over a year ago. Their USP is the creation of pure fragrances that are inspired by the Nordic climate, however it’s the striking bottle design (by Sentral Designstudio and Asa Jungnelius) that really caught our eye!

We haven’t managed to get a whiff yet, but if this smells as great as it looks then we’re in for a olifactory treat.
