Perfume Fountain Planned For Brooklyn

What is the smell of humanity? Photographer Anne McClain's unique art project seeks to create a scent based on the experience of an act of humanity. She has been studying at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery, taking courses in natural and synthetic raw materials, chemistry, and creation. Her plan is to showcase the Humanity scent in a fountain of perfumed water in Brooklyn's McGolrick Park for six months starting this summer. The Humanity personal fragrance is described as being based on the Indian white lotus flower with vanilla inflections, notes of maté tea and sustainable sandalwood from Australia. The personal version of the scent is sold in chunky glass bottles inspired by the shape of the anatomical human heart. The bottles with white glass corks were designed by Lance McGregor and Alan Iwamura and handmade by Alan. Each bottle is numbered by perfumer Anne McClain. All of the proceeds from the sale of the Humanity fragrance will go towards building the Humanity perfume fountain in Brooklyn, NY. The 12 ml perfume oil in the glass sculpted bottle sells for $125.
