MY KIND OF LOVE is a collection of delicious French-made fragrances.
Fragrance story: FUN THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN AFTER SUNSET. Blended like an olfactive cocktail that is fresh, fruity and energizing, AFTER SUNSET gets to the heart of when the party starts. Kilian Hennessy and French perfumer Calice Becker concoct a blend to bend the mind into after-hours adventure: the cocktail’s freshly cut herb garnish hits the nose, while a sip of blackcurrant syrup soothes the palate into a delicious heart of lychee. Thoroughly modern, the AFTER SUNSET vibe gets ever sensual with musk, rose and patchouli as night takes her final hold. Relax the shoulders, wink at the bartender, and sip some AFTER SUNSET.

The fragrance is a new distinct perfume created by Comme des Garcons and inspired by the original citrus scent Warhol used for the 1967 artwork.
The scandalous original fragrance from 1967 consisted of Coke bottles spray painted silver and filled with a citrus perfume promptly triggering a cease and desist letter from Coca-Cola resulting in the project being abandoned. Staying rather clear of Coke bottles, the reintroduction of Andy Warhol’s You’re In comes in six unique matte silver industrial bottles, each featuring a different whimsical quote by Andy Warhol.
Families: woody, citrus
Head notes: aldehyde, bitter orange
Heart notes: coriander, jasmine, pittosporum
Base notes: amber, ambrox, cashmere wood, cedar, musk

Conjuror of nocturnal scenarios, of sun-filled holidays, of stolen, complicit glances. A meeting of fruity notes and fresh mint with a heady, voluptuous heart. An invitation to experience the splendid allure of irony.
‘…I wanted to tell of a game of intrigue played out to a bright, irresistible jazz beat on a night filled with scents, some coquettish, some simply playful. Corpi Caldi is the ironic statement of those who love to play, who dive headfirst into . . . everything, who live life light-heartedly. Corpi Caldi is for anyone who smiles!’
