The 2000s were the most interesting and productive period for Comme des Garçons perfumes to date. I remember well when I first saw the releases from Series 1: Leaves. Five perfumes, between hyperreal, synthetic and strangely reduced, but above all: five at once and in different sizes. Especially this strategy of series and simultaneous release was already a pretty good move. In the next years some series were to follow whose influence is still noticeable today, like Series 3: Incense and Series 6: Synthetik. Guerrilla 1 was released at the same time as Guerrilla 2, though it didn't have a series number and can be read as a spin-off - and by far the best element - of these Comme's guerrilla stores. Guerrilla 1, in particular, sets itself apart from almost all other Comme des Garçons perfumes by flirting heavily with the appearance of a classic perfume. Guerrilla 1 is almost something that might have Germaine Cellier's signature 50 years earlier, but all the components and accords are mixed up with components that are unmistakably from the Comme des Garçons vocabulary. Plastic and rubber elements are there, pepper, clove, spice, woodiness, themes that Comme has also revisited in previous years. The twist of Guerrilla 1, however, is a slightly fermented, fruity, intensely floral note that reminds me of ripe guiaba fruit, somewhere between beguiling and slightly 'expired', yet with the first bite: delicate. This recomposition of a classic perfume with a peculiar flower in focus make the fragrance very special, it also makes me think of bitter-floral like Insensé. In the Comme context, perhaps the closest to Comme 3. The fragrance is unfortunately not easy to find for a long time, but on request, he was also 2019, still in the Paris shop to have.
