Philippe Starck has designed a scent for women, a scent for men and a third scent for those of you who identify as neither.

At a party Galerie magazine founder Lisa Cohen hosted in her art-filled Plaza Hotel apartment, Starck said his fascination with fragrances began as a child when he worked in his mother’s perfume shop in Paris.

The designer, who flew in from Brazil for the party, and left three hours later for Beijing, said his male fragrance was not for “the macho man sitting in front of a TV watching football — those men are obsolete — but for a real man in touch with his femininity.”

The third scent is for transgender people and those who are gender-fluid, or as Starck described them, “a new generation — the future who are not a man or a woman.”
