Laurent Le Guernec, senior fine fragrance perfumer at IFF
In what's sure to be a memorable evening of music and fragrance, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra will invite only 40 people to a rehearsal. Following the rehearsal, Laurent Le Guernec, a senior fine fragrance perfumer with International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. (IFF), will talk about the relationship of scent and symphony. Following that will be a cocktail reception sponsored by Berjé, Inc. and a performance by Orpheus.
The event is organized by Women in Flavor and Fragrance Commerce, Inc. (WFFC), and Le Guernec's talk will be moderated by Perfumer & Flavorist editor in chief Jeb Gleason-Allured. Attendance is limited to 40 people, and seats are filling up quickly.
