Given our Le Nez de Courvoisier project, we are fascinated by anyone who does anything intereting in the world of aromas.
So when we saw this in the Guardian Guide on Saturday we got quite excited. Especially given that Bompas and Parr are part of The Courvoisier The Future 500...
From the Guadian Guide:
"Those looking for a whiff of alternative scents to the perfumed ones exchanged between lovers today can find plenty at a special screening of Peter Greenaway's The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover. Viewers will receive scratch'n'sniff cards laced with delicate aromas linked to scenes involving rotting flesh and dusty books, as created by culinary deviants Bompas & Parr, who also infiltrate the food concession with aphrodisiacs and gold-coated weenies. It's all part of jotta.com's inauguaral craft fair, featuring a fashion workshop on Wednesday and illustration market next Sunday."
Unfortunately we've missed the boat this time. It would have been great to have been part of the event rather than Bulldog gin. Maybe we can collaborate on a similar event in the future.

From Luxist
"They say that when blending whisky it's all about the sniffer. Small wonder then that a new book by master whiskey blender Richard Patterson and Gavin D Smith features Patterson on the cover with his nose headed glassward and goes by the title "Goodness Nose." Cute, right? What's even cuter, although perhaps veering into the strange is that a six-foot high nose, based on Patterson's more modest proboscis has been spotted around Edinburgh as part the promotion for the book. The Edinburgh News reports that the nose has been spotted in the city's Multrees Walk, the Royal Mile and Princes Street Gardens. I'm hoping pictures surface soon, this I've got to see."
I am particularly interested in this... because of our Le Nez de Courvoisier project which is all about the array of aromas in our cognac.
