six scents, one cause


The Six Scents Fragrance Initiative brings together six perfumers and artists to create limited edition fragrances fora good cause. The six scents titled Six Scents Series One and curated by Seven New York's Joseph Quartana are: Gareth Pugh's "Diagonal," Bernhard Willhelm's "Wicken 3000," Preen's "Teen Spirit," Jeremy Scott's "Illicit Sex," Cosmic Wonder Light Source's "Spirit of the Wood" and Alexandre Herchcovitch's "Urban Tropicalia." The scents mix traditionally masculine and feminine fragrances with notes of bergamot, red pepper berries, magnolia, rose, fig leaves, green grass, sea breeze accord, rhubarb and sandalwood. Profits will got towards awareness and funding for the Designers Against AIDS' International AIDS Awareness Center set to open in December in Antwerp, Belgium. There are 2,000 bottles of each scent and each costs $85.
