THE DIARY OF A NOSE by Jean-Claude Ellena - Book Signing

reporter: Miguel Dominguez

February 22nd was the date when Jean-Claude Ellena, the "parfumeur exclusif" of the house of Hermès, had his book signing of The Diary of a Nose at Rizzoli New York .

The Diary of a Nose is a collection of Ellena’s meditations on the world of scents, and what stirs his creation of some of the world’s most desired fragrances. Inspiration can come from anywhere—a market stall, a landscape, or even the movement of calligraphy. Though each smell has its own distinct character, a gifted perfumer creates olfactory experiences that are intensely personal and unique, that blossom on the body and leave a trace of us lingering after we have left a room. Seductive, delicate, and elegant as any of Ellena’s creations, The Diary of a Nose seeks to capture the most elusive facets of this rarefied and mysterious art.
