M Dougherty: Eau de Toe Beans
Every dog owner knows that the best smell in the world is the smell of your dog’s precious paws. “Eau de Toe Beans” is artist M Dougherty’s recreation of the smell of a dog’s paw pads. The reconstruction is based on Dougherty’s research into paw pad microbiomes and on the scent produced by their dog, Earl Grey.
This is not a perfume, but an olfactory sculpture. It was not designed for dogs nor humans to wear it.
Notes: corn chips, acidic, dirt, grass, musk, animalic
Bottle: hand-blown glass from Egypt. Artist unknown.
