Curator: Anne McClain

Anne McClain, the brains behind the Brooklyn-based MCMC Fragrances, understands the often tricky relationship between men and scent. “A lot of guys can be a bit intimidated by wearing fragrance, my husband included,” she said. Since McClain couldn’t convince her low-maintenance, bearded partner to sport fragrance in general (let alone her own creations), she began a personal project for him, culminating in Dude No.1, the first fragrance devoted to subtly scenting men’s whiskers. Hmm… creative?
