In A Bottle recently spoke with Christos Garkinos, who's featured on the new Bravo reality show Dukes of Melrose. The show follows Christos and his business partner, Cameron Silver, through adventures at their legendary L.A. consignment boutique Decades.
What we love about the show is that each episode gives viewers a cliff notes education in fashion, as Christos uncovers amazing finds in his clients' closets, from vintage couture to modern luxury brands.
Christos told me he fell in love with vintage while growing up in Detroit rocking his grandfather's brown cashmere coat. He's since traded up for a Gucci ostrich overcoat, but he's still proud to sport secondhand style.
"What I love about vintage and shopping like that is every piece of clothing has a story," he said.
Garkinos also loves scent, and recently told HauteLiving.com that he covets Tom Ford fragrances, especially Tom Ford Noir de Noir.
"I am so obsessed with his scents that I keep one at my desk at all times. And last week Mr. Ford was to visit the store, so I did an extra little spritz — unfortunately he didn’t make it that day, but I smelled extra good," he said.
Tom Ford Noir de Noir is among the designer's must-inhale line of artisinal scents. The dark chypre oriental opens with saffron, black rose and black truffle with floral hints, and deepens with vanilla, patchouli, oud wood and tree moss. Its packaging is inspired by apothecary bottles.
