The Fragrance of Revolution

The Ace Hotel New York and Project No. 8 teamed up to create No. 8a, a curated boutique at the Ace that offers “intelligent and well-executed ideas.” The above video is for Revolution as prefume/fragrance inspired by the smell of revolution. The fragrance’s creator Lisa Kirk traveled the world to interview ten living cultural and political radicals about their memory of the smell of revolution.
“Revolution is more of an art piece than a perfume. It contains, among other scents, the smell of smoke, tear gas, and gasoline, and acts as an olfactory critique on contemporary luxury branding and political im/possibilities. Surprisingly, it smells really good.”
This super limited edition perfume is now available at No. 8a and it’s crazy expensive – think $3,750 up to $47,750 for the solid Platinum pipe bomb bottle/atomizer. I might just riot if anyone actually buys this stuff. Cool concept though.
