Lunch With Roberto

I was cordially invited to attend a fantastic luncheon yesterday at Neiman Marcus. The guest speaker was none other than Roberto Ferreira, curator for Creed perfumes. While Roberto harbors a great deal of information about the history and processes of the Creed house, he is also a fragrance aficionado. There was plenty of discussion about Creed's products, but he was also willing to talk about many other aspects of the perfume business in general.

The afternoon ended with a very nice gift of three 10ml rollerball samples of Vintage Tabarome, Aubépine Acacia and Cuir de Russie. Overall, it was a very interesting afternoon.

Also, Original Cologne is going to be renamed. I myself, thought it was a stupid name and terribly generic.

Royal Oud may be on its way out because they are having difficulty getting raw materials from their source.

Nice! Did you learn any dirt about the perfume business that you can share?

This sounds like such a wonderful experience--and what party favors! (-; Which city are you in? I hope he'll come to Boston soon!

I find very little by Serge Lutens that I don't like. His creative esthetic seems to be right in line with my preferences regarding fragrances. Serge is a master of the desert.

Roberto and I seems to share similar likes regarding Serge Lutens.
