The Profession of Perfumer Designer
by Patricia de Nicolaï
In partnership with the Osmothèque of Versailles
At Alliance Française Sunday, December 5 - 6.00 pm
(Press release) - (France-Amérique.com)
Perfumer designer is a fascinating profession: Is it a gift? Can everyone become a perfumer? Is it a profession passed down from father to son? What exactly does a perfumer designer do? What are the raw materials?
Patricia de Nicolaï was born in Paris and raised in the Guerlain town house, side-by-side with four generations of the Guerlain family. Her childhood was, of course, perfumed with the most delicate essences.

Extracto de « En el lenguaje lascivo de los perros » ;
El olor dulce del tabaco aún sigue en mi memoria. El abuelo enrollaba su tabaco, colaba en la tarde su café y se reclinaba en un sillón para contarnos de la guerra, siempre la misma historia sobre las monedas enterradas en los muros del ingenio, la cambiaba o la inventaba cada vez y el tiempo parecía gravitar en humo y en la luz de la lámpara de aceite. Como el abuelo cambiaba la historia cada vez, la relativa ubicación de las monedas cambiaba cada vez. En aquellos tiempos mi padre agujereó las murallas con un pico, compró perros rastreadores de tesoros según él. |

Pirates of the Caribbean
Conference in French by Claude Alix
Antique map exhibition
Booksigning of « Escales sur la Route de l’Or » by Claude Alix
Free admission
One feels a strange fascination for the pirates who haunted the Caribbean Sea, the greater and lesser Antilles, the Gulf of Mexico, and the northern coast South America. A cocktail of savagery, adroitness, skill, fleeting riches, fearsome independence, mayhem and doom. The seduction of those who choose to live by their own rules, and willingly accept the brutality of a criminal life on the fringes of society. For sure piracy has always existed all over, on highways and on high seas, even to this day. But never has there been such a concentration of marauding pillagers than in this part of the world, for such a long period of time spanning from 1580 till 1820.
