“Maybe the fact that it’s such hard work to do what I do and so much torture and living in hell and getting so tired working dawn to midnight every day for the last 40 years—maybe that would be called a failure in some sense”

BLACKPEPPER is an electric collision of molecules: the crash of spicy pepper seeds suspended within infinite darkness. A powerful subversion of olfactive convention. An incessant investigation of the perpetually unknown. Warm, dry Madagascan Pepper cracks against fiery Cedarwood. Rich, fragrant Akigalawood (Patchouli, Agarwood) fuses with the caramel resin of Tonka Bean. Precious seeds and opulent woods blend in blazing harmony, laced with a musky accord. A profound reinvent ion of familiar exoticism: spice is deconstructed, destabilized, decoded. A resonant reverberation of dynamic intensity. Spice, seen through the transformative gaze of Comme des Garçons.

Rei has always said that she doesn’t think she has succeeded at all. She believes that if she was successful, she wouldn’t have to think about next week’s cash flow, she wouldn’t have to worry. Sometimes I ask her, ‘Can’t you just be happy? Just for one instant?’ One time she didn’t want to come to Paris at all, she wanted to cancel the whole show. She said, ‘This is no good, no one is going to like it, it’s not good enough.’ In fact, she says that every time, and every time I remind her that she’s always wrong. It’s getting worse though, the suffering and torture she puts herself through. I’m constantly reassuring her. I try to protect her and make things easier but it just gets too hard sometimes. But that’s what drives her, this dissatisfaction. For her, one instant of self-satisfaction would mean the end.
