Odeur 53

The restless modernists of the 20's had the blunt industrial lines of Chanel No 5 to consecrate their age, my age has Comme Des Garcons parfums to summarize our times .CDG parfums are a true luxury . The 90's was in many ways the apotheosis of the celebration of all things "industrial" within the confines of fashion. Remember those floor length slip dresses in griege, the covers of Harper's Bazaar lit with flourescent tubing and of course the rapid adoption of Comme des Garcons' "concrete bunker" retail aesthetic into the general store design vocabulary.That moment in fashion will always be summarized in my mind by the cold electric smell of 1993's Odeur 53, the No 5 of my 90's generation (sorry CK 1. Your love was short-lived).
