In 42 SCENT, Visionaire deconstructs the elements of scent, pairing twenty-one experimental perfumes — produced in collaboration with International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) — alongside twenty-one equally innovative images. Mario Sorrenti’s chilling photo of icebergs paired with the scent of cold by perfumer Vera Degen. David Bowie’s smell of success smelled vaguely rotten, symbolized in a Dan Forbes photo of sand slipping through Iman’s sinuous fingers. Karl Lagerfeld sought to capture hunger, to him the scent of bread baking at Paris’s legendary Poilâne Bakery, courtesy of perfumer Sandrine Malin. Lagerfeld photographed model Brad Kroenig in the nude with a baguette.
