Japanese policeman... or philosophy of black Yohji Yamamoto.

The master of deconstructivism in fashion and the judge of all shades of black color, so perhaps it is possible to describe works of the ingenious designer Yosha (Yodzi) Yamamoto. This puny person with the eternal cigarette clamped in lips moved heaven and earth of fashion and proved that the fashion optional has to is poured by all colors of the rainbow, and can quite manage in one color, its Majesty Chyornym with all that it implies shades from coal textural blackness to space bluish-black which attracts the depth and modulations.
Still in 90e, I was fond of things and perfumery from Yamamoto, its laconic cut and impudent asymmetry carried away, and complex perfumery works on structure bewitched the extraordinary sounding and very modest registration of bottles, boxes.
Unfortunately compositions from the 90th underwent a set of changes, but I all the same love aromas from this crafty designer. Did not keep and bought several perfume, one of them women's and three men's, however men's fragrances it is more towards a unisex.
This men's fragrance is filled with freshness of a lime, lavender flowers and nutmeg. Then the composition is transformed to flower meadows with shades of a geranium, cardamom and bitter vetiver with a note of patchouli.
HIS LOVE STORY is pair aroma to women's HER LOVE STORY perfume that is very convenient for a gift for the forthcoming St. Valentine's Day.
Yosha Yamamoto's displays always differed in willfulness and mystery. Only this fashion designer manages, it is so magnificent to give things of black color which at all the gloom look solemnly and in Japanese strictly without excesses.
Bottles and boxes identical, it is possible to confuse easily.
Boxes interestingly open how the Japanese kimono is decorated with the well-known autograph of Yohji Yamamoto inside.
Bottles can be compared to the cold ice floes which broke away from a huge iceberg.
In white packing there is a voskhitelny ladies' aroma, HER LOVE STORY,POUR FEMME weaved from gentle irises, white colors of a jasmine, petals of a tea rose and the dominating camomile which is favourably allocated against the background of tart rosemary and impudent cardamom in a tangerine cloud with a musky shade.
In black boxes the perfume intended to the stronger sex which can be carried safely to a unisex aromas.
YOHJI YAMAMOTO HOMME is penetrated by the Japanese philosophy of a rock-garden, the blossoming Oriental cherry and the gray-haired-Japanese calligraphy.
Cool sounding of this perfume frightens by the dispassionateness a little. Chilling composition as if dark vernal water in which is reflected the storm sky with smack of ozone... drops of a rain fall on the violets growing among cedar needles, the aroma of the become wet rice paper with which the hieroglyphs traced by ink flow down soars in air and fancifully flow down on the dust beaten by a rain...
The unusual leather aroma with chords of coal, rice, a cedar saw cut, lemon salt and crude smack of patchouli with a santalaceous shade - many is capable to carry away to the cold dreamland and natural silence of the wet wood.
Often things from Yamamoto compare to clothes of peasants, nomads and even beggars, the reason of such analogy is in modesty of monophonic fabrics and simplicity of a cut without pronounced gendernost, a clean unisex.
Yamamoto's Yodz in the clothes and aromas, are expressed by connection of the Japanese principles of a vabi-saba where vabi-it modest beauty, and a sabi-raid of old times and the western habitual forms. The designer creates models strikingly different from modern fashion. The luxury of the clothes created by him and perfumery consists in beauty of imperfect what is fleeting or just unfinished.
In the 2009th year on a fashion show, Yamamoto declared bankruptcy of the brand, but assured the admirers that it does not intend to put an end in the history of the company.
Such optimism deserves Respect!
