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...
