Russian fashion designer Gosha Rubchinskiy will launch his debut fragrance in collaboration with Comme des Garçons. The eponymous scent was inspired by skate and street culture in Moscow, and follows the recent introduction of the designer's Paccbet skatewear label at Dover Street Market.
The unisex fragrance was developed by perfumer Alexis Dadier and includes "accents of tar and rubber to connote skateboard wheels heating up on the pavement". The notes include angelica, buchu flower, mandarin seed, chamomile, styrax, vetiver and patchouli.
Gosha Rubchinskiy Eau de Toilette will be available in October.

I had to look this designer up on Vogue. The clothes remind me of being back in high school in the 90’s, but less colorful and fun. And skater/bmx boys/girls never really smell that good- a combo of sweat and too much JOOP!/ckONE/Fendi to cover it up.
Am still tempted!
It’s not going to be as easy to find as the Grace Coddington, but hopefully it will be at the usual CdG retailers eventually!
