Each year, the Six Scents Parfums fragrance initiative brings the experience of creativity with a conscience to the world through a collection of six unisex scents. Created by a distinct group of designers and perfumers, these limited edition fragrances are designed to represent a global range of contemporary views on creativity and culture. Perfumers Yann Vasnier, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Christophe Raynaud, Mary Katrantzou, Stephen Nilsen and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto collaborated with Designers Alexis Mabille, Mary Katrantzou, Junn.J, Rad Hourani, N.Hoolywood, and Ohne Titel. A percentage of proceeds will go towards War Child International, which works with children all over the world to reduce poverty, to provide education and to defend their rights.
“You take everything-the rose and the laurel too. Take them and welcome…A thing unstained, unsullied by the brute broken nails of the world, by death, by doom unfingered-see it there a white plume over the battle-a diamond in the ash of the ultimate combustion-my panache.” -Cyrano De Bergerac

The LBD of fragrance would be measured on much the same way: classic scent, flattering to the skin of the woman who wears it, versatility, and delivers confidence to the wearer.
