ART OF PERFUME: DECADENCE AND BEAUTY IN THE PERFUMED COURT OF MARIE ANTOINETTE
SATURDAY, JUNE 29th 2:00-5:00
Explore the opulence of the Perfumed Court, where towering wigs were powdered with violet, and courtiers lavished themselves and their silks,satins and brocades with luxurious fragrance. Flutter a fan of violet and orris while viewing works of 18th century artists, listening to period music, and reading French poetry while blending notes (including orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine) found in a perfume vial of Marie Antoinette.

From our friends, Sarah Horowitz and Mary Orlin:
Presenting The Essence of Fragrance – a Perfume and Wine Aroma Sensory Workshop. Join us for this exploration of the aromatic experience of wine and perfume, led by Master Perfumer Sarah Horowitz and Sommelier and Journalist Mary Orlin.
During our workshop Chief Perfumer Sarah Horowitz-Thran will educate participants on the history of fragrance and how our sense of smell works before delving into the principals of building a scent.
Sommelier and fragrance and wine writer for The Huffington Post Mary Orlin will speak to the similarities in the language of wine and perfumery. Our guest vintner is Sonja Magdevski of Casa Dumetz Wines, and we will pair Casa Dumetz wines with perfume oil notes curated by Sarah Horowitz.
In this master class we take participants on a journey into the intersection of the arts of perfume and wine and how and why they are similar and complimentary to each other. We’ll explore pulling out common fragrant notes in each.
Come for an afternoon of fragrance, wine and nibbles. Space is extremely limited so sign up now!
