Pharrell Williams is making fans a lot happier next week. The Grammy-winning and Academy Award-nominated artist teamed up with Comme des Garcons to release Girl, a unisex fragrance named after his latest album. It will be available in the United States on Sept. 5.
Featuring top notes of neroli, lavender and white pepper combined with a base of vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood and sandalwood, and middle notes of iris, styrax and violet, Williams was aiming for a “woody” scent, he told Women’s Wear Daily.
The artist is no stranger to the fashion and art worlds: He has his own clothing line and has collaborated on eyewear, jacket, sunglasses, fine jewellery and an environmentally-friendly denim collections in the past.
“When I do a collaboration with brands, I do them with notable masters, so that I can experience the true purpose of collaboration, which is to learn. So I only work with masters,” Williams told WWD. “We had the best nose in Paris, I was working with the best brand — Comme des Garçons is your favourite designer’s favourite brand — so there was not much of a struggle, because I was working with the masters of the artistic universe.”
The bottle features colourful artwork by Kaws, a New York-based artist and designer.
