Editors NOTE: Marika Vecchiattini of The Perfume Magazine is on her way to Florence for the Pitti Immagine Fragranze event and will give a full report next issue-till then, happy travels Marika!
From September 9th to 11th, Florence (Italy) will host one of the most important fair-events featuring the world of artistic and niche perfumery: Pitti Immagine Fragranze. This year’s will be the ninth edition of this world-known fair and again, scenic Stazione Leopolda will be the ideal setting for showcasing the most exclusive essences, personal care and wellbeing products and scented accessories.
The 2010 edition saw attendance up by 14% on the previous edition,and final figures showed an increasingly international nature of visitors: “Fragranze”, says Raffaello Napoleone CEO of Pitti Immagine, “Isn’t only the reference commercial platform for international and Italian niche perfumery buyers, but also the ideal context to present the latest ideas and theories about contemporary olfactory culture”.
Among the events scheduled this year, the presence of Francis Kurkdjian as a Special Guest will be of crucial interest. On Friday 9th the talented, brilliant young French composer (who set up his own Maison after creating dozens of extremely successful scents for the most important brands) will hold the lecture “Being a perfumer” on his eclectic experience. Then, in the evening, he will perform a very special installation-event, purposely studied for this occasion, and named “The Light of the Innocents” at Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Innocenti (The Chrurch of Saint Mary of the Innocents). Of course we’re all thrilling with anticipation!
