In 2016, former Contributor Jasia Julia Nielson won a Perfumed Plume (Visualization of Scent ) for the beautiful montage art she created for her article Perfume as Opera. “To turn to the Opera for inspiration for a perfume is by no means new. Jacques Guerlain created Liu, which was inspired by the slave girl in Puccini’s Turandot, in 1929”, she wrote.  Some of us love Opera, and in fact  a few of our team have participated or sung in operas; some of us rather listen to R & B. Match our CaFleureBon team with what we think is one of the best operas of all time and win last month’s spilled perfume.
