The pheromone parties hosted by Judith Prays, an artist based in Los Angeles, California, isn't something new, but she has put a unique spin on it. Instead of going around sniffing people directly like her original project, used tees brought by the participants are bagged and passed around. Although it is an unusual way to meet someone, this scientific approach to chemistry is certainly interesting.
Equally entertaining, the bags passed around the pheromone parties are labelled with a number as well as the gender of the owner. Design Taxi writes, "When they find a smell attractive, they will then take a picture of themselves with the bags they have chosen and it will be projected on a screen."
