Anne McClain is currently attending the Grasse Institute of Perfumery in southern France. She turned to the fine art of perfumery after an extended interest in photography, as a way to flatten an experience or memory into something tangible, yet ethereal. Anne also enjoys learning about aromatherapy to understand the psychological effects of natural plant materials.
Prior to attending perfumery school, she attended Brown University, where she took classes in religion, creative arts, the environment, philosophy, and neuroscience. She designed an independent major which later became an established major, titled the Contemplative Studies Initiative, which takes as its mission “to develop a coordinated program in this rapidly emerging field that focuses on many of the ways that human beings have found, across cultures and across time, to concentrate, broaden and deepen conscious awareness as the gateway to cultivating their full potential and to leading more meaningful and fulfilling lives.”
