Conceptual artist Cherry Tree is putting the 'P' back in perfume with an art project that turns her urine into cologne.





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."
It's a whiz of an idea and one that Tree was inspired to turn into a reality in 2006.
"It was the first morning after a full moon," she said. "And I decided to collect my urine in a perfume bottle."
At first, Tree's concept was only to collect urine after each full moon.
"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."
