This year’s perfume calendar just became much more exciting: Somerset House have announced an exhibition they’re calling ‘Perfume – A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent’. In itself, this would have been welcome news. But what makes it even more attention-worthy is the fact that the exhibition has been co-curated by none other than our own Lizzie Ostrom, aka Odette Toilette, author of A Century Of Scents.
More details will be revealed in the coming weeks, but we can already tell from what’s been posted on the Somerset House website (click here) that this is going to be much more than a simplistic, superficial commercially-driven gallery of pleasant smells. Crucially, it’s going to focus on the role of the perfumer: some of the names posted on the site include Daniela Andrier, Antoine Lie and Lyn Harris.
The exhibition will take place from 21st June to 17th September and tickets are already on sale. All being well, I shall attend it myself (at least once!) and I suspect I’ll write about it. Can’t wait!
