This Valentine’s Day, Per AQUUM’s Dream Calendar have collaborated with world renowned perfumers Nicolas Maillebiau and his daughter Isabelle Maillebiau to create an exquisite guest experience from February 11th – 14th, 2013 at Huvafen Fushi. As one of the world’s most legendary noses, Nicolas was not only Head Perfumer to Nina Ricci for twenty years and a Paris Court Expert in Perfumery but also a perfumer to numerous royal families. Following in her father’s footsteps, Isabelle has created perfumes, cosmetics, home ambiance and spa fragrances for leading houses Boucheron, Céline, Dior, Guerlain, Lalique and for luxury hotels George V and Plaza Athénée.
With 150 years of history in perfumery kept alive by IPG Fragrances, the Maillebiau family will be conducting an exclusive three day workshop exploring the history of perfume, discovering rare tools and ingredients that have been with the family for hundreds of years, understanding the processes and uncovering secrets behind the creation of a perfume. At the end of the workshop, guests will use their new found education and work together with Nicolas and Isabelle in creating their Per Fumum Ex bespoke perfume. An exclusive service by IPG Fragrances reserved for the world’s lucky few. This exciting journey ends with a gourmet experience where our Executive Chef Daniel Johnson together with Nicolas and Isabelle create an extraordinary dinner awakening all senses. A once in a lifetime experience, each guest will receive their final unique perfume two months after their holiday. The Maillebiau family explain that the bespoke perfume experience ‘is a subtle invitation to your intimate world, unveiling your personality, tastes and your individuality. That makes it unique’.
