Elements Showcase

This fall marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. There are all sorts of events planned in Dallas, and there will undoubtedly be tons of coverage memorializing the tragic event. You can watch these things on TV and cry, or...you can honor JFK by wearing the same fragrance he did. The story behind Kennedy's favorite fragrance is fascinating--and the scent has just been re-released for the first time in 60 years.

With so many celebrities rolling out fragrances and so many millions of consumers buying them, it's easy to forget that creating a scent is actually an art form. It takes talent, skill, and inventiveness. I was reminded of this fact earlier this week at Elements Showcase where an impressive collection of niche fragrance brands came together to present their diverse products. The bi-annual showcase that first premiered last January, is the vision of Jeff Lawson, owner of an events consultancy, Ulrich Lang, a former L'Oreal exec, and Frederick Bouchardy, founder of Joya, a creative collective specializing in fragrance. The goal of the event was to connect fragrance designers with the media and buyers from top distributors like Barney's and Henri Bendel, while at the same time, highlighting the artistry and craftsmanship of the exhibitors' products.
