Finally, finally! A perfume event in London, which I may actually be able to attend.
It' at the Royal Institute on Wednsday 21st April from 7pm to 8.30pm. Here's the website link. And this is the description:
Where do the sparkling, creative ideas for new perfumes come from? How are they translated into scent without compromising the creative purity of the idea? This lecture – the third in the series – covers one of the most abstract perfumery subjects: the creative origin of new perfumes. Find out what is going on inside the perfumer’s mind, how it is nurtured to deliver those scented moments of true brilliance, and how the ideas are developed into tomorrow’s perfume classics.
