Interview with Perfumer Gerrit van Logchem {Fragrant Reading}
The chief perfumer of Mäurer & Wirtz, Gerrit van Logchem, was recently interviewed by Coop. He is the person currently in charge for the curating of the antique Eau de Cologne 4711.
Perfumery workshops are being organized by M & W and an ad campaign along the lines of an United Colors by Benetton is running on the site to give a fresher image to the eau de cologne. You can send e-postcards and download screensavers...
Gerrit Van Logchem says that his favorite creation is L'Acteur by Azzaro, which was a flop. That sounded interesting so I got a sample of this perfume...
"Nel corso della sua carriera di «naso», il nostro profumiere 65enne ha curato e sviluppato numerosi profumi. Il suo preferito è una sua creazione sviluppata venti anni fa: «Acteur» di Loris Azzaro. «È certo il più grande e il più longevo fiasco ancora in vendita, oggi, solo in pochi negozi», afferma ridendo, «ma è un profumo straordinario, creativo e rivoluzionario»."
