Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Artist and perfumer Anne McClain asserts that scents "can convey memories and feelings in a uniquely impactful way" and created the fragrance Humanity to spread compassion.
Hear McClain explain how the scent has been "manipulated" to spread compassion: http://www.humanityfragrance.com/About.html
A fragrance to evoke compassion may be novel however scents via candles and colognes have promised 'love, money and desire' including the skeptical pheromone trend with Chikara Pheromone Cologne for Men ($59.95/€47) and Cleo for Women ($69.95/€55).
The Humanity scent "is based around the Indian white lotus flower, a symbol of purity from ancient cultures. Rich in vanilla inflections with notes of maté tea and sustainable sandalwood from Australia, the scent is fresh, sheer, floral and woody, and comes blended in a base of three organic oils."
Each bottle, shaped like a heart, is handmade, numbered and 100% of the initial proceeds of the Humanity fragrance paid for the August 7th building of the Humanity perfume fountain in Brooklyn, NY. A 12ml perfume oil bottle of Humanity costs $125/€98.
Additionally, McClain is to offer workshops on basic perfumery and aromatherapy beginning on September 6 in New York City at Le Labo's Nolita store. For more information contact: workshops@lelabofragrances.com or visit http://mcmcfragrances.com/Home.html
