Six Scents Series Three is the third collection by Six Scents Parfums. The Series consists of six fragrances made through a collaborative process that emphasizes the creativity of emergent designers; pairing them with six world-class Givaudan perfumers. The theme of Series Three ‘From Innocence to Experience’ guided the production process. Each designer’s adolescent and teenage memories were considered and translated to the world of scent. Series Three includes packaging designed by award winning design firm 3 Deep Design and the portrait artwork of Robert Knoke. The theme of the Series also was incorporated into filmmaker commissions by a host of renowned artists including Tim Richardson, Alia Raza, and Olaf Breunning. The films are contained on an accompanying DVD in each boxed fragrance.
