Master Perfumer Christophe Laudamiel (instagram)

What's a perfumer thinking? 
Christophe Laudamiel, the only Osmocurator based in New York  and master independent perfumer for Dreamair,  has gathered his hopes, dreams and visions for the next phase of Fragrance. A  manifesto of visions and inspirations for 2017 forward in his revolutionary exhibit in NYC.

"People shall understand that a perfume piano …. has about 1,500 keys …. compared to only 88 keys for a musical piano. …teachers and psychologists, as well as doctors and nurses, shall walk around with a scent kit… they will obtain stories patients won’t recall by oral or visual questioning. In return patients shall enjoy that healthy brain-aerobic called smelling. …the fragrance industry shall recruit, dress, talk and perfume itself in a much more colorful way. …a “bad” smell shall not be said to be bad: like a horror movie, it can be a damn good bad smell. And like shooting a horror movie, it has to be designed damn well to be damn bad. …teenagers shall be wearing scents upsetting to their parents."

Leave prudes at home.
