My Perfume Organ
ragrance bottles are lining up like piano keys. We call this stand a " perfume organ".
This is my perfume organ and I made it myself in 2001.
Everyone gets surprised to know that this was handmade by me.
I created it by imaging a perfume organ in my mind first, drawing etc and put pieces of wood together.
Musical terms are frequently used in the world of perfume.
The stand where a perfumer works on the composition of perfumes is called "perfume organ"
because the perfume bottles are in line like piano keys.
In 1988, when I started my fragrance-related work, herbs and aromatherapy are not popular yet. There were only few people who knew the existence of perfumers, or even the fact that 100 or more components were included in one perfume.
Back then ( or maybe still now) , the perfume organ in fragrance companies used to be white, plastic. Dark brown bottles were on top of tiered stands. It reminded me of a science laboratory. But one day I needed one with atmosphere and that was worth looking at. I wanted an elegant, curvy ,Art Nouveau style antique perfume organ.
When people look at my perfume organ for the first time, they all look amazed and especially people from fragrance company give me praises. It has been a symbol of my brand for 15 years.
I'll tell you why & how I made a perfume organ by myself maybe next time.
To be continued.
