Perfumes as Time Machine

By: Hieronimuss

The first ever attempt to time-travel and gain an understanding of history through the creation of fragrances was a complete success, thanks to the vision and courage of Melissa Ceria, the director of Art de Vivre Programs at The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) in New York City. She named the three events Series le Parfum, and as the first presenter on Nov. 3, she chose perfumer Christophe Laudamiel, the director of Osmothèque for the US, founder of the Academy of Perfumery & Aromatics in New York, and co-founder of  Dreamair, a NYC company that introduces “new means of communication via scent.”

All these titles mean that Christophe has abundant knowledge in all aspects of perfume creation, industry and history. He doesn’t just stick with the facts—he understands the unknowns, the secrets, the possibilities, and can take any perfume, perfumer or ingredient into many different directions, all equally meaningful. With his youthfulness and passion he could cover easily many events like this, be completely sold out every time, and influence even the most knowledgeable perfume connoisseur. Monsieur Christophe has also an outstanding portfolio including collaborations with Estée Lauder, Thierry Mugler, Elton John’s Black Candle and many more industry leaders.
