"Eau de Toilet": Artist Made Perfume Out of Own Urine

 "'Signature scent' doesn’t get any more personal than this, folks! If you love to hear the unusual things artists do in the name of art, 'urine' for a treat:

Conceptual artist Cherry Tree has a scent of mystery about her. And the smell of urine. Her urine. And it’s intentional.

For the last five years, Tree, who splits time between Missouri and Spain, has been turning her own urine into perfume.

'I am very much into recycling,' Tree, born Charity Blansit, told AOL Weird News. 'And urine is something I’ve thought needs to be recycled, since it’s something that gets eliminated.' [...]

'I was fascinated by how the smell changes depending on what you eat,' she said. 'For instance, it smells really good after you eat a lot of honey and it smells terrible after eating chicken.'"
