Comme Des Garcons - Guerrilla Stores

[GuerrillaBoy]

I like burnt sugar too!

Ditto:-) The bottles design comes from the concept of Sweet. I'd add Pink and "kitsch overdosed" as well:-P

It was even "hand made in China":-)), but Comme said it took quite a time for them to find the artists who make the bottles like they wanted.

I like Burnt Sugar (surprisingly) the most, then Wood Coffee and Sticky Cake. They look like cheap perfume bottles and smell quite "small town sweet". Not like the super sophisticated Serge Lutens Rahat Loukhom or Frederic Malle Listip Rose. I mean you don't feel special when you wear them. You just feel you are very very sweet, even when you are a man:-P

I will agree with you, especially last summer with the HOMME PLUS Pink show, i was wearing Burnt Sugar,pink shoes,pink jewel, pink tee ,pink jacket!!I was feeling like a sweet bubble gum!!!

Whole winter I could only wear BSugar (cardamon and sweet milk, v. intoxicating) and WCoffee (Monday morning, you know:-).
Sorry for OT.

By the way, when i am wearing a perfume from the Sweet serie, everybody says... "Oh, i wanna eat you!!" but it is true that all the perfume ideas are amazing, they are tested by me several times, ex. i wa wearing AVIGNON and a guy asked me if was in a church before!! Here in Athens the Guerrilla Store is selling lots of CdG perfumes everyday, people love them!!

mmmm nice... for winter i prefer the ORIGINAL CdG for the day time(cinnamon, very uplifting ) and for the night AVIGON, GARAGE, TAR, because i dont want lots of people around me... what about summer time?

Vettiveru is the best:-) I also like Citrico but another 500 ml bottle is just too much:-))

They told me in 10 Corso Como that they will have 125 ml of the EdC very soon. I don't know if those sizes will only be available there as special editions, though...

 

[GuerrillaBoy]

This is true i-love, CdG decided that to make a small production of 125ml EDC, as it was not comfortable at all the big bottles for travelling etc. so, i a few months we will have petit EDC!!

By the way are you running the GS in Athens, if I may ask...?

Of course you may No I am not running the store, but I am a very-very close friend to the boy that runs the GS in Athens.

Here is something from Filep Motwary at his blog after the GS opening here in Athens. It has some photos of the store...

How old must u be to run a store or ask to host it?

 

[Baizilla]

As long as you have a shop that can fulfill the criterias..

Exactly, CdG doesn't care about ages,nations,profesions etc. CdG is interested in the PERSON that is going to do the cooperation, as this person will be the image of CdG in each city.If the person is qualified by a strong personality and he/she has values, then i think its ok...

 

[JJohnson]

^^^ Highly interesting.....

 

[GuerrillaBoy]

I will try to find a recent interview of ADRIAN JOFFE (hope you know who is) to a Greek newspaper, there is question about CdG values etc. and the answer is really nice.

I thought you had mentioned you were working for CDG - that's why I asked B)

 

[GuerrillaBoy]

I said in a way, as I am helping my boyfriend with the store
