Gorilla Perfumes Gallery exhibit: exterior and perfume display

Gorilla Perfume, the new fragrance division of Lush, has been promoting its line of scents with a traveling “fragrance gallery.” This exhibit is promoted by Gorilla Perfume as “a winding olfactory maze of wonderment,” and it was recently installed in New York City for three days of sensory delights.

Lazy weekend poll ~ open thread, early October 2010

Posted by Robin on 8 October 2010 754 Comments

maple, red

The usual drill: talk about anything you like — the perfume you’re wearing today, the last perfume that made you hungry, the last perfume you bought unsniffed, whatever.

Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
