Symposium

Thursday 5th March 2009

To be held at:

Tiffany Room, Tavistock Hotel,
Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9EU
(nearest tube station Russell Square)

David has presented at both the Cheltenham and Edinburgh Festivals and is a well known speaker on University circuits and indeed on cruise ships. He was a winner last year on Dragons’ Den and is being backed by Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis’ in launching a range of fragrances lost in time, found again and re-created (see www.scentsoftime.co.uk for more information).
 
His talk will include the experience of Dragons’ Den, the background to fragrances launched to date (Nenufar, Sacred Scent of Cleopatra, Pyxis, lost perfume of Pompeii, Ankh, Tutankhamen’s aroma of intrigue and Maya, Mystic scent of the Americas and the fifth fragrance of the stable, and Night Star, due for launch later in 2009). All available from British Museum, SOT own web site, Firebox and select John Lewis stores.
 
David will also talk of his crusade with the help of Michael Edwards, to make perfumes more comprehendible to the general public, much as the 30 year campaign on wine has done.
 
At the end of the talk there will be an opportunity to smell all of the first four fragrances and to keep small samples of Nenufar and Pyxis and a souvenir card of the range as above.
 
This promises to be a diverting and interesting talk on “bottled history” and one not to be missed.
