Helsinki – From two very different directions, two brands are coming together to create a new fragrance that depicts the scent of timeless design. Finnish furniture manufacturer Artek has joined forced with Comme des Garçons to produce an unexpected new fragrance called Standard.

The fragrance will launch at the Dover Street Market store in London in October. It was developed as a result of a ‘mutual will to collaborate’, according to Ville Kokkonen, director of research and development at Artek, and also reflects both brands’ curiosity about re-inventing design. Now you can not only enjoy Artek’s timeless, understated designs, you can also experience exactly what the brand smells like.
