Women in Flavor & Fragrance Commerce (WFFC) is asponsor of The Art of Scent, 1889-2012, on view from Nov. 13, 2012 through Feb. 24, 2013, at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), located at 2 Columbus Circle, New York, NY.
Organized by Chandler Burr, curator of Olfactory Art at MAD and former New York Times perfume critic, this is the first museum exhibition dedicated to exploring the design and aesthetics of olfactory art from 1889 to the present.
The exhibition opens with the design of Jicky (1889) by Aime Guerlain, who helped usher in the modern era of synthetic molecules alongside natural materials. Each scent on display represents an olfactory milestone and captures the most significant work and ingenuity of its creators spanning two centuries. The exhibition installation will be designed by Diller, Scofidio + Renfro.
