The Los Angeles-based companies initially joined in order to create a fragrance that embodies the identities of both Youth to the People and DedCool, and the result is ‘Cosmic Release,’ a perfume that boasts notes of violet, vetiver, and patchouli. The fragrance comes packaged in a clear bottle with a clean white cap, while ‘Cosmic Release’ is printed in minimalist black text across the front. “What started as DM exchange between the two brand founders Greg Gonzales and Carina Chaz, about shared vision and values in the responsible beauty space evolved into an expressive olfactory experience that perfectly blends both brands into a balanced fragrance for all,” A press release states. ‘Cosmic Release’ is now available at both Youth To The People and DedCool‘s websites.
