Fragrances by Comme des Garçons

The brilliant Brothers Quay have created a short film for Comme des Garçons' June 2010 launch of a new fragrance called Wonderwood. It is classic Brothers Quay, featuring stop motion animation and nature imagery, but mixed with a new, wavy, fun-house-mirror optical style that is reminiscent of some of the iamamiwhoami videos.

And after discovering Wonderwood, I came across this gorgeous promotional video titled "Mnemosyne" for a scent called Daphne, a 2009 collaboration between heiress, artist and fashion icon Daphne Guinness and Comme des Garçons. Co-directed with David Parker, Guinness says that the film is not strictly promotional but a stand alone art piece merely inspired by the fragrance since it does not show any graphics or logos and does not mention the perfume.
