NEW YORK,NY – Renowned โขGerman-British composer and pianist Max Richter,celebrated for emotionally resonant works โlike “Recomposed: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons” and “On โthe Nature of Daylight,” is expanding his artistic palette. He’s partnered with Comme des โGarรงons Parfums to launch “01 Eau De Toilette,” a โคfragrance designed not just to be smelled, butโค remembered.
Theโฃ collaboration, born fromโข creative discussionsโ between Richter, his partner Yulia Mahr, โand Comme des Garรงons Parfums President Adrian Joffe, aims to translate the composer’s sonic sensibilities intoโฃ theโฃ world of scent. “I’veโ always wanted to compose a perfume โas, in my mind, scent and sound are sisters,” Richter explains. “In both mediums you work by relying on, or being in touch with, the things you don’t yet know, and that is really exciting to me.”

“01” isn’t a customary โfloral or fruity โขfragrance. Rather, it’s a complex composition โคcrafted with perfumer โคGuillaume Flavigny and Comme des Garรงons creative director Christian
