American artist and designer KAWS has teamed up with famous streetwear brand COMME des GARÇONS to launch a new men's fragrance called 'MIRROR.'
The exciting collaboration was first announced via Instagram in a post that also stated that the perfume would be exclusively sold at Dover Street Parfums Market -- an avant-garde beauty store in Paris owned by Adrian Joffe and Rei Kawakubo.
The clear bottled fragrance dons an eye-catching animation that seems to depict KAW's signature character drowning in a pool of red liquid. However, all that is visible is the character's gloved hands emerging out of the puddle. According to the company, 'MIRROR' looks to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the Dover Street Parfums Market's opening.
