The Story of Perfume
November 13 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
What parts of the world do fragrances come from? Who invented them and what are their main ingredients? How did perfume cross from the sacred to the profane? Who were the first great perfumers? What role has the fashion industry played in the history of perfume? How do you become a successful ‘nose’? What stories lie behind iconic perfumes such as Chanel’s N°5, C K One, or Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Mâle?
Join us for a conversation between Élisabeth de Feydeau, author of the new book, The Story of Perfume, and Rebeca de la Piedra, renowned Mexican fragrance expert.
Lavishly illustrated with archival documents from the most beautiful fragrance brands, The Story of Perfume transports its readers into a precious and mesmerizing world. It is the perfect gift for special occasions and a must-have for all perfume lovers.
