The Annette Green Perfume Museum opens its first exhibit at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. From October 17 through December 2, 2006 the exhibition will honour the creators of fragrance and fashion of the past and present. “A new exhibition space dedicated solely to the Annette Green Perfume Museum will be unveiled, while a companion exhibition in the FIDM Museum & Galleries will showcase select pieces from the Annette Green collection alongside companion fashion pieces from the FIDM Permanent Collection.” The public is invited between Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00am until 4:00pm. While the dual exhibit will last only through December, the Annette Green Perfume Museum will remain open year round for public viewing. For more information please check FIDM website.

IrisLA: I am lucky to be invited to the gala opening along with several other MUA ladies. I plan to wear Fendi Theorema, one of my favorite scents and bottle designs. October 12, 2006 at 12:06pm

BoisdeJasmin: Iris, how I wish I were in LA that weekend. It sounds like a fantastic exhibit, and you will smell amazing. Enjoy it! October 13, 2006 at 3:36pm
BoisdeJasmin: R, how about Fracas? To me, it is a return to opulence and lushness in the post-WWII period. Much like Dior New Look. October 13, 2006 at 3:36pm
BoisdeJasmin: Chaya, yes, it is Erte. Beautiful! October 13, 2006 at 3:37pm
BoisdeJasmin: Gioconda, thank you very much for the link! I love this sculpture, and it is great to learn more about it. October 13, 2006 at 3:38pm
violetnoir: Oh my goodness! We are truly connected though time and distance separate us, V! That’s exactly the fragrance that I wore that evening! I had the opportunity to chat with Annette Green. She is a lovely woman. I told her I was wearing Fracas, and that most of my perfume friends don’t like it. But, she indicated that she gets more calls from people from all over the world asking her where they can find Fracas over any other fragrance. Amazing!

BoisdeJasmin: R, how wonderful! I am so happy to hear that you had a great time and even had a chance to meet Annette Green. Sounds like a splendid evening. October 16, 2006 at 6:08pm
