Thank you again for your amazing support and for joining Luca and I for our perfume talk. We decided to make our session is available as a recording. If you couldn’t participate in person, I invite you to listen to our conversation. Available here, same terms apply.
Here are the topics we covered:
- what classical perfumes make Luca’s heart skip a beat
- what exactly goes into those cheap, dime a dozen perfumes
- the future of perfumery
- is it possible to create anything new? and which brands stand out still?
- if you know nothing about perfumery, where to start? (Luca’s amazing advice)
- which classical Guerlain perfumes we don’t like (yes, those exist)
- and much more!
Luca Turin and I will engage in a series of conversations about perfumery: fragrances we can’t imagine the world without, trends we hate, industry gossip and other things. Both of us have our distinctive preferences and experiences, and Luca is someone I admire and consider a friend, so we will keep these sessions open-ended. Our goal is to raise money to help my local community in Ukraine, but I can’t deny relishing the pleasure of chatting with Luca on topics both of us enjoy. We hope that this series of conversation will be inspiring, meaningful and entertaining. And the last point is assured, especially if you know anything at all about Luca.
P.S. Did you know that you can follow Luca via his Substack?
Since I’m currently in Ukraine, I see the dire need in my local community for the most basic things. While there are plenty of charities and government-level programs, the only way to ensure that money goes to the people in need is to locate those communities and help them directly. I’ve been doing this ever since my arrival to Ukraine two weeks ago.
- Raising money for local school to supply their bomb shelters with water.
- Purchasing art supplies for the free-of-charge art studios that rehabilitate children suffering from post-traumatic shock.
- Supporting animal shelters run by the individuals I know.
- Working with local outreach programs to respond to the lonely elderly and their needs.
- Supporting local cultural preservation projects and traditional crafts. I will share more information about these and other projects as I continue my work.
Full disclosure: 50% of the funds raised will be donated to these charitable initiatives. The rest will cover our time and my Belgian tax obligations.
The session will take place online via Zoom and will last for 1 hour. If you have questions for me and Luca, you can email them beforehand.
IMPORTANT: Your email confirmation with joining instructions will arrive within 24 hours after payment.
