HENRI MYERS, TOM BLACKIE AND CARSTEN KLEIN

FOUNDERS, MAISON 10, NEW YORK, USA

One of the most engaging shopping experiences we’ve had at Maison 10 was when we featured internationally acclaimed French master perfumer, Christophe Laudamiel, who presented his newly launched ‘The Zoo’ fragrance collection. Having co-created signature scents for Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, Beyoncé and a slew of others, Maison 10 was host to an array of loyal fans of his work and a wild variety of fragrance enthusiasts. Laudamiel presented and introduced the true spirit of this fun perfume line that highlighted the inner twists to the already unusual stories and scents à la Laudamiel. From a few ingredients to his unique code of ethics, scientific games and a bit beyond perfumery, peppered by intimate scent artwork that consisted of two scent paraboles, ‘Volatile Marylin N015’ and ‘The Whip and the Orchid N09’, as well as nude hanging images of Laudamiel himself, putting forward the idea that scent and the body are equal.
