RACINE, Wis., Oct. 22, 2014 — (PRNewswire) —  Glade® and Cirque du Soleil® announced today a partnership to prove there is more to scent than meets the nose. As expressed through the artistry of Cirque du Soleil, the year-long partnership will demonstrate how any of the 37 Glade® fragrances can incite emotion, spark the imagination and arouse the senses.

Beginning with an immersive, multi-sensory experience on Wednesday, October 22, Cirque du Soleil will transform Madison Square Park in New York City into a dreamland.
