Throughout her childhood and most of her teenage years, Coddington’s family managed the Trearddur Bay Hotel, a 42-room guest house surrounded by cliffs and rocks. Who would have thought that the remote island of Anglesey, situated on the foamy north coast of Wales, would spawn a fashion figurehead the likes of Grace Coddington? Born Pamela Rosalind Grace Coddington in 1941, this unforgettable icon - more familiarly known as Grace - is the definition of creative innovation. A few words of reference: Hermessence Rose Ikebana, Charenton Macerations Asphalt Rose, Comme Des Garçons 2.Defying both tragedy and naysayers, who told her that she didn’t have what it took to be a fashion model, Grace Coddington, now 77, is and will always be the epitome of fashion, courage and heart. As a Comme Des Garçons, I find it a minor release but surely one of their bests amongst their "easiest" launches. I believe it completely reflects her personality and style (they really nailed the brief here). It won't probably make the best starting option for those who are not familiar with this seminal brand yet, but if you're looking for something effortlessly elegant, Grace could really fit your bill.Īs the Grace Coddington fragrance, I rank it very high. I guess in this specific context we could easily refer to it as a succesful example of true minimalism.
There's really not much else to say about Grace smell-wise as the frangrance feels really simple while completely avoiding feeling simplistic. Agrees with white linens, torrid summer nights and walking barefoot but with that certain crystal / plastic quality to keep it urban. Pale, almost whispered but with enough personality to avoid falling into the "fragrance for people who actually don't like fragrances" cathegory. Well, as a matter of fact, Grace surprised me.Īn extremely easy to like and very well refined modern rose with a fragile character. Especially when they lean towards the watery side of the spectrum (eg Amouage Lyric Man which is possibly my biggest fragrance nemesis ever) so I really didn't expect to like the new collaboration bewteen the iconic Grace Coddinngton and Comme Des Garçons. I generally dislike rose notes in perfumery.
