Grace would appeal to anyone who loves Diptyque Eau Rose or some of the lighter, fruitier offerings from Les Parfums de Rosine. Grace feels fairly linear, although it also manages to seem winsome rather than cheap, despite my shampoo comparison. The base notes, other than the white musk, are very subtle. Grace starts off with a herbal-mint top note and then quickly morphs into a squeaky-clean 'shampoo floral,' whose roses just smell pink and whose other floral and green notes are equally buoyant. Coddington may flaunt her dramatic red mane and dark lipstick, but she apparently loves her roses dewy-fresh.

Fortunately, it's good, in a cheerful and deceptively simple way.

It was developed with Comme des Garçons Parfum's Creative Director Christian Astuguevieille, and the cat-shaped bottle was designed by Fabien Baron. This scent was inspired by Coddington's 'love of English roses' and its composition includes top notes of bergamot, mint, basil, cardamom and pink pepper heart notes of Moroccan rose, freesia and peach blossom and base notes of vetiver, cashmere wood, white musk and amber. If you'd grabbed me on the way out of the theater and asked me to review the film in one line, I'd have said, 'Go for Anna, but stay for Grace.' Grace Coddington, creative director of Vogue, was the movie's surprise star - she impressed us with her imagination and her commitment to her work and she reminded us why we're bewitched and inspired by fashion despite ourselves.Ĭoddington (now Vogue's Creative Director at Large) has just collaborated with Comme des Garçons on a fragrance called Grace by Grace Coddington. and I went to see ' The September Issue,' a documentary film about Vogue magazine and its influential (and infamous) editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.
