In January I gave a lecture on classic perfumes from 1950 to 2000. It was organized by Think Olio and hosted by ad agency Chandelier Creative at their SoHo headquarters, as a follow-up to a lecture that I’d given in November covering famous perfumes from 1890-1950. It was a wonderful opportunity to share my obsession with perfume history and its intersections with fashion, art, and popular culture, and I enjoyed every minute.
Chandelier followed up my lecture with an interview (also about iconic fragrances) that they posted on their website. I posted a link to Part 1 a few days ago; you can read Part 2 here.

Back in November, I gave a lecture on classic perfumes from 1890 to 1950. It was organized by the dynamic duo behind Think Olio and hosted by very cool ad agency Chandelier Creative at their SoHo headquarters. I was joined by lots of smart and curious people who wanted to know more about iconic fragrances and their social context. We had fun, if I dare say so myself!
