The Fragrance Foundation (TFF) brings messages to consumers this week from brand founders, perfumers, and executives from the fragrance industry, via its website.
TFF held its first-ever two-day virtual Fragrance Day event on March 21st and 22nd, 2021. More than 20 world-renowned perfumers, brands, new TFF Indies, fragrance houses, retailers and more participated in the discussions.
Take a look at all the featured videos from TFF's Fragrance Day event.
Highlights from the Videos
- Carolina Herrerra, iconic fashion designer who founded her namesake line in 1981, discusses fashion and fragrance with her creative director, Wes Gordon. During the entertaining conversation, Herrera declares, "I love shoes," holding up the stiletto-shaped fragrance bottle, Good Girl. And Gordon asks, "Why do you think lipstick is important?" "For me, it is," Herrera replies, "because I can't go out with no makeup," she laughs, "but with lipstick, I feel fantastic."
- Costa Brazil's Francisco Costa chats with Firmenich's senior perfumer Frank Voelkl about sourcing ingredients, including the unusual resin Costa found in the Amazon.
- Discussing the new Jimmy Choo I Want Choo fragrance, Pierre Desaulles, CEO of Interparfums Luxury Brands, asks perfumer Sonia Constant about her creation process and inspirations.
- Kilian Hennessy, founder of Kilian Paris, says, "Because I believe that luxury should not be disposable, I made all my bottles refillable—so the bottle you buy is the bottle you keep all your life."
- Tom Ford, fashion designer, film director, and founder of Tom Ford Beauty, says, "I can remember perfectly every fragrance that I have worn throughout my life and exactly where I was and what I was doing at that time. Scent memory is one of the great pleasures in life..."
- Nest's founder Laura Slatkin talks to perfumer Jérome Epinette, explaining that they have been working together since 2006. They discuss the inspiration behind some of the brand's top-selling scents for its candles and fragrances.
