Now before we start I have to address a little matter regarding my household and a certain, undeniably talented Mr Williams. Recently the McG family returned from their Summer jaunt, where we were, what can only be described as tortured, by a certain track that the aforementioned Mr Williams, wrote, sung and produced. The track in question, of course, ‘HAPPY’, my son is obsessed with this song, whenever we got into the car, first thing in the morning, before he went to bed, ‘APPY, APPY, APPY’ incessantly. Upon our return, we soon discovered, it wasn’t just ‘APPY’ that was our son’s track du jour, but he had developed a liking for all things Pharrell, (just to note social services, we haven’t introduced, any of the mature material from Williams’ NERD period) , his collaborations with French robotic house duo Daft Punk, being particular favourites. The only solace I can take from this is from the wise beyond her years and patience of a Saint, Mrs Mc, who pointed out, “It could be so much worse, it have have been something like Barbie Girl.”
Anyway, enough of my rant and back to target to today’s subject matter. Pharrell Williams has been rather busy of late, recently picked up his 7th Grammy Award and was nominated for an Academy Award for his #1 hit single “appy”, sorry “Happy” from the animated film Despicable Me 2. Plus this year has seen him collaboration with both Adidas and Uniqlo on Clothing ranges. But for Autumn 2014 we see him diversify into another market, that being, Fragrances. This time round, he has chosen to work with cutting edge Fashion, fragrance and lifestyle house, Comme des Garçon.
G I R L by Pharrell Williams offers a woody scent of high-quality and complex construction, inspired by his Album of the same name, he manages to translate into liquid form his heady and infectious mix of music into scent format. Ingredients include, Neroli, Lavender, Iris, Styrax Cedarwood and Vetiver to offer to truly unisex fragrance equally appealing to men’s as women, a but like his music, you could say.
