Annette Green Perfume Museum re-opens in Los Angeles

Posted by Robin on 18 October 2006 5 Comments

The Annette Green Perfume Museum, originally located at the Fragrance Foundation in New York, has re-opened at the Fashion Institute of Design & Mer­chandising in downtown Los Angeles:

The collection spans more than a century and includes perfume bottles from more than 165 international fragrance houses ranging from the unusual, like an antique De Vigny perfume called Le Golliwogg, to the most well known: Chanel, Lanvin, Ralph Lauren, Estée Lauder and Dolce & Gabbana.

(via Women's Wear Daily) The inaugural exhibit, "The Annette Green Perfume Museum Premiere: Fashion Makes Scents" runs through 12/2/2006 and is free to the public, Tuesday through Saturday 10-4. For more information, see the Fashion Institute of Design & Mer­chandising website.

    I encourage all L.A.-area fragrance lovers to see this marvelous exhibit of perfume bottles. The wall of factices alone is worth the effort. You stand there stunned with so much splendor.

    Oh, wish I could see it! Is there any olfactory component to the exhibit at all, or just bottles? Not that “just” bottles isn't plenty, mind you…

    No olfactory component. However, from a cabinet of classic Oriental scents, we could smell a lovely fragrance.

    The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, which hosts the exhibit, did commission a light fruity/floral fragrance called Musee Femme for the event. The perfumer is Neal Harris.

    Sniffing it on a card only, I was not taken with it. However, my MUA friend purchased a bottle after trying it from a tester. She says it develops well on the skin and likes it quite a bit.

    Interesting, thanks I! Wonder why they didn't do something more unusual than a light fruity floral, and wonder why they aren't publicizing it, for that matter.

    It's a very limited edition only sold in the museum shop, as far as I know.

    Like you, I expected something other than a standard fruity/floral scent to commemorate a perfume exhibit. Instead, the creators opted for commercial appeal.
