Raised in Rhode Island and Japan, Anne Serrano-McClain’s many travels instilled in her a great sense of adventure and appreciation of other cultures and ways of thinking. In 2005, Anne moved to Brooklyn, New York, where she found herself surrounded with creative people. Like a flower that had to wait to bloom, she felt that she had finally found a place to call home. The energy and optimism of New York allowed Anne to follow what was, at the time, a budding passion. She turned to the fine art of perfumery after an extended interest in photography, as another way to distill an experience into something tangible, yet ethereal. Anne enjoys learning about the aromatherapeutic qualities of natural ingredients, to understand the psychological effects that the distilled oils of flowers, resins, barks, peels, leaves and other plant materials have on the mind. Anne graduated with honors from the Grasse Institute of Perfumery in 2009 and founded MCMC Fragrances shortly thereafter. Since its launch in April of 2010, MCMC Fragrances’ popular scents have been featured in InStyle Magazine, Vogue Magazine, the New York Times, New York Magazine, the Financial Times, and many others. The family-owned company, which is operated by Anne and her sister, Katie, is dedicated to creating original products made with the highest quality ingredients. Each fragrance is formulated by Anne, who studied natural perfumery and aromatherapy before moving to Grasse, the perfume capital of France, for an intensive study of the history, techniques, and practices of modern perfumery. Based in Brooklyn, New York, all their products are carefully crafted in small batches and bottled by hand by their in-house production team. They are guaranteed to be made with love.
