ONE DROP OF FREEDOM: The Scent of Grass, A Symbol of Freedom.

One drop can be too much or one drop can help a life… Support refugees, buy one drop of the scent of grass.

The internationally renowned scent artist Peter de Cupere has developed a special fragrance based on grass: ONE DROP OF FREEDOM, a unique perfume or Eau de l’Herbe “that symbolizes freedom and a safe place.”

Your donation – with the cooperation of Peter the Cupere and many other volunteers from the PXL-MAD (Media, Arts & Design) School of Arts – will provide Refugee Aid Flanders and Limburg Platform for Refugees with extra support. “Flemish Refugee” is an organization that defends the rights of refugees and asylum seekers and provides assistance to them. And for more than 20 years, it has put a large group of volunteers in the various refugee committees of the Limburg Platform for Refugees.
