THE WINNER OF THE SIGNED COPY OF CHANDLER BURR’S THE PERFECT SCENT IS

 

 

  Afterward: “I suppose when one is hired as a perfume critic, the premise being that perfume is an artistic medium equal to painting, architecture, and music, one shouldn’t be surprised at winding up a museum curator of perfume. So I’m not. I’m pretty thrilled though. We’re planning our first exhibition for November 2011, our first artist retrospective for 2012 (one I consider to be hands down one of the most important artists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries).

We’re going to be doing public school olfactory education and artists in residence. It now seems to me like an inevitable outgrowth of my Times position. And frankly I can’t wait.”- Chandler Burr

 

 

AND THE WINNER of the Random Draw is FLORA

"I have been enjoying Chandler Burr's writing ever since The New Yorker article about the the creation of Un Jardin sur le Nil came out. I don't always agree with him – I studiously avoid Light Blue – but I have the greatest respect for his critical sense and elegant powers of description that make the perfumes come to life right on the page. I can't think of a better person to curate the new fragrance museum, and I hope I can go there someda"y.
