Grasse Institute of Perfumery, US
Beauty
McClain’s olfactory awakening began at the age of 15 when she fell victim to the sweet chocolate notes of Thierry Mugler’s Angel. After being accepted to the highly selective year-long course at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery, the Rhode Island native launched her unisex line, MCMC Fragrances, from her home in Brooklyn in 2010. Apart from her hand-blended creations, McClain also conducts perfume workshops to share her expertise.
Most inspired by: my volunteer work and other community initiatives.
