A series of French perfume packages appeal to the senses of Glenn Kiernen at JKR. "I first saw the Comme des Garcons Parfums editions in the late-90s, ans found them to be so strikingly different to anything else within the sector that I have admired them ever since. They're so 'random' in their approach and are a testament to pure design". The special limited edition versions of the prfumes released every year around Christmas-time always offer a new expression of the existing bottle, or clothes the bottle in some manner. The outer packaging then varies each time according to the execution. Each different edition seems to work, and remains desiderable and 'new'. Comme des Garcons packaging is a purist form of packaging, as indulgent as it is beautiful, and for that reason it's an inspiration.
