British composer Max Richter has launched a new unisex fragrance in collaboration with Comme des Garçons, Max Richter 01.

The composer Max Richter collaborates with Comme des Garçons Parfums to create a new fragrance, inviting wearers to engage with scent as a medium for memory, a quiet narrative composed in Richter’s unique voice. The fragrance centres on objects tied to Richter’s life and work: Graphite, Vetiver, Piano Soundboard Cedar, Violin Bow Rosin, Transistor, and Magnetic Tape.

“I’ve always wanted to compose a perfume because, in my mind, scent and sound are sisters. 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.” – Max Richter

Max Richter 01 was developed by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny; additional notes include cade, cumin, ylang ylang, black pepper, pimento berries, tagetes and patchouli. 

Comme des Garçons Max Richter 01 is available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette, $160.
