“Smell and Taste – the chemical senses. They carry meaning to perceive and evaluate reality, but also evoke memories, feelings, and desires, and the power of olfactory sensations seems almost magical to many of us. The chemistry behind these, however, is no mystery.”
Thus is introduced the conference which will take place on 24-26 September, 2007 at Imperial College in London. The topics of this event which is open to researchers, industry professionals, journalists as well as anyone interested in fragrance range from natural products and flavors, to olfaction, perfumery and fragrance chemistry. While the full program can be viewed on the Conference website, among the speakers discussing perfumery and olfaction, the schedule includes perfumers Céline Ellena (Charabot, Neuilly sur Seine), Geza Schoen (Escentric Molecules, Berlin) and Christophe Laudamiel (IFF, New York).
For further information and visiting arrangements, please see the Conference website or email at [email protected].

Dmitri aka Flacon007: How nice to hear again from you, Victoria. It’s just a pity that you so pressed for time now that you cannot answer any single comment to your posts. But there are much more advantages in your current disposition, I guess. Soon (in a couple of years) you will be a qualified perfumer and will present to us your own creations on the toppest level of science 🙂 August 6, 2007 at 5:11pm
BoisdeJasmin: Dmitri, it is true that the time has become a rather precious commodity for me. I find myself organizing two days of my weekends by minutes in order to do everything I plan. I miss exchanges too, but I know that with time I will find my own way of balancing everything. As for your hopes in me, whenever that may happen, I only wish to live up to the expectations. 🙂 August 6, 2007 at 9:51pm
