On September 16, the I.A. Goncharov Model Central Library in Ulyanovsk will host a creative meeting with writer Elena Celestin, author of the book "The Very Perfume. Fascinating stories of cult fragrances of the XX century".
Elena Celestin is a writer, journalist, art critic. Expert in perfumery, culture, art, collector of vintage perfumes, author of lectures and programs on the history of brands and fragrances, art and fashion. The uniqueness of the book "The same Perfume" is a combination of rare information, brilliant style and unusual illustrations by the artist Marina Mack.
The book "The same perfume" is a guide to the passions, dreams, sorrows and joys of people who have left a mark in the history of perfumery art. You will learn what secrets perfume dynasties keep, how perfume houses survived during the Great Depression and World War II, and what deals their owners sometimes made with their conscience. The bottles standing on your dressing table will no longer be just beautiful glass and will reveal to you the message conveyed by their creators.
The "Golden Age" of perfumery is 100 years old. What was the difference between the spirits of the twenties of the last century from those that were created before the First World War? Elena Celestin will tell you about it. Guests will also be able to listen to amazing compositions and see rare vintage bottles from the author's collection.
It starts at 18:00. Admission is free. You must have masks with you.
