Heading to the gala opening of The Art of Scent 1889-2012 I was nervous. Chandler Burr has been telling me everything that this exhibit was going to be but what if it wasn’t? As the elevator rose to the 4th floor of the museum I think I held my breath a bit as the doors opened.
Join the fun as CaFleureBon throws a Surprise birthday bash for Managing Editor Mark Behnke…with a little help from our friends Laurie Erickson, Liz Zorn, Neil Morris, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, Jessica September Buchanan and Ineke Ruhland. Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that’s where it’s at!
CaFleureBon’s “Ode to Autumn” is the ten Fall fragrances that we have already begun to spritz with abandon. With draws from Ormande Jayne, Xerjoff, Mona di Orio, Etat Libre D’Orange and A Wing and a Prayer we salute the season of mists and mellow fruitfullness
It’s a concave scent rather than a convex one, not sweet and fruity, but subtle, primitive and introverted. It’s a green scent, in honor of the green ink that Pablo Neruda used to write his poetry, his personal symbol of desire. The color green for him had a very powerful vibration that nutured creativity.
I chatted with Joseph Quartana, beaming like a proud father, as he filled me in on his much-awaited Six Scents Series Four, subtitled, Characters. “We had all of the designers create a fictional muse. We have some new territory to explore,” he explained.
