The Six Scents Fragrance Initiative is an ongoing collaboration between Seven NEw york, Symrise and Metaproject. Annually, a distinct group of six prominent artists and perfumers are selected to develop a limited edition series of fragrances to raise money for a deserving charity. Each bottle has a unique purpose, scent, and aesthetic, yet they function together within the line. The collection represents a global gamut of contemporary views on creativity, culture, consciousness and collectivity.
Curated by Seven New York's Joseph Quartana, the six scents titled Six Scents Series One 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.
