Thematic Territory

Industrial brutalism distilled into scent — the cold beauty of poured concrete, rebar shadows, and mineral dust

Era & Context

Deconstructed

Created as a collaboration with sculptor David Chipperfield, Concrete literalizes CdG's anti-perfume stance by attempting to bottle architecture itself. Part of the broader 2010s movement toward material-forward, non-floral fragrances that reject traditional beauty.
