Blunda Perfume Exhibition No.1: Velvet & Sweetpea's Purrfumery


Laurie Stern of Velvet & Sweetpea's Purrfumerry will be a guest perfumer at Blunda's very first Perfume Exhibit this weekend, opening a series of 8 perfume exhibitions at this unique perfume studio at the heart of Los Angeles.

Meet Laurie Stern, California Bay area perfumer and the founder of Velvet & Sweetpea's Purrfumery, her beautiful line of botanical perfumes, and other aromatic jewels she creates. Laurie will be present to talk about her inspiration, her perfumes, her rose filled bathtub, and any other curiosities you may have.

Join Persephenie and Laurie for an afternoon tea, noshes from local Los Angeles producers, and the opportunity to meet these fine works of art called natural botanical perfumes.

Laurie's perfumes are cruelty free and made of botanical essences only (except for bee products) and are phthalate free. Laurie also uses tinctures from aromatic plants growing in her garden, including many different kinds of scented geraniums.

Spaces are extremely limited, so please RSVP by via email with the title "RSVP for Perfume Exhibition #1 March 28, 2009" and number of people participating or by calling (323) 658-750.

Blunda Perfume Exhibitions

Beginning in March 2009, Blunda in Los Angeles will showcase a natural botanical perfumer every month. The exhibitions at Blunda will highlight perfumery as an art form. Each exhibit is dedicated to the perfumer as an artist, and most perfumers will be physically present at Blunda for a special event during that month.

Here is the exhibit schedule:
March 2009 - Velvet and Sweet Pea's Purrfumery (Laurie Stern)
April 2009 - Ayala Moriel Parfums
May - Persephenie (Blunda)
June - Artemisia Perfume (Lisa Fong)
July - YOSH Olfactory Sense (Yosh Han)
August - JoAnne Bassett
September - Elena Steel
October - DSH Perfumes (Dawn Spencer Hurwitz)

For the weekend of April 17-19 I will be visiting Blunda for a special event of afternoon tea and a presentation with Q&A. This will be a unique art-show event. I will be presenting the perfume I’ve designed last spring as part of the Perfume Inside a Poem project on Memory & Desire blog, - a cherry blossom perfume inspired by a poem by Ezra Pound; as well as showcasing images of cherry blossom in Vancouver that I photographed while making the perfume.
