Arquiste, Carlos Huber and renown perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux- to intro the new aromatic Boutonniere n.7.
A roomful of eager scent-aholics sniffed samples of several scents - cleverly staged- with informative placards revealing the inspiration-a particular historic time, or person-with vignettes of items relevant to each sample-curated by Huber...including tobacco, cinnamon quills, flowers, antique books and cut glasses of cognac.
