CDG Max Richter 01

Eau de Toilette

This collaboration grew from an ongoing creative dialogue between composer Max Richter, his creative partner Yulia Mahr, and Comme des Garçons Parfums. The result is a quiet, contemplative fragrance shaped in Richter’s own artistic language a scent that behaves like a narrative, unfolding with subtle emotional clarity.

The composition centers on materials intimately tied to Richter’s life and work: graphite, vetiver, piano soundboard cedar, violin bow rosin, transistor, and magnetic tape. Together, they reflect his ability to weave classical orchestration with modern electronic textures, a signature that has made him one of the most influential composers of his generation.

This fragrance invites the wearer to experience scent as a medium for memory, echoing the atmosphere of Richter’s music intimate, textural, and deeply evocative.
