If you’re in the NYC area and you’d be interested in attending a talk about fragrance in the disco years, please visit the Brooklyn Brainery website for details and tickets! I’ll be telling the stories of some iconic fragrances of the late 1970s while we smell those fragrances together. I’ll also be showing many, many visuals, of course, and we’ll have some music playing in the background to set the scene. Multi-sensory! immersive! and all those other buzzwords! but mostly just fun. Hope to see some of you there!
