Artwork Spotlights the 7 Scent Categories
TFF commissioned artist and designer Rebecca Moses to create original artwork spotlighting 7 scent categories encompassing notes and ingredients: Floral, Fresh, Citrus, Fruity, Sweet, Woody, and Spicy.
Moses was one of the first American fashion designers to enter the The European market in the 1990s, gaining recognition for modernizing Italian ready-to-wear house Genny, before launching her own label. Now, some of her most prolific work is in fashion illustration, showcased in her book, “A Life of Style”, published by Monacelli Press is a showcase of her creative vision.
Rebecca Moses’ artwork will appear on Madison Avenue banners throughout March, and in The Fragrance Day Pop-Up Store located at 824 Madison Avenue (on the South West corner of 69th street) – open from March 19 to March 22.
Linda G. Levy, President of The Fragrance Foundation, says, “Fragrance is considered an invisible art form. Rebecca’s sophisticated yet whimsical art and digital creations bring fragrance notes and ingredients to life. Through Rebecca’s extraordinary visual interpretation of scent categories, the ultimate goal is to engage consumers and raise awareness and sales for fragrances worldwide.”
The Fragrance Day campaign will appear in retail stores, online, as well as in TFF's social media platforms with the additional support of an Influencer campaign.
