The evening was bewildering as it introduced the fragrance through the story of its inception by creating a feast for the senses through the medium of taste, sight and of course smell.
“Last night ‘s launch of Timothy Han’s ‘Edition Perfumes’ named ‘She came to Stay’, was a sensory experience on every level.
How many of us can say that we ‘ate’ the fragrance! It was a visual feast, a mouth-watering feast, and in fact a complete feast for all the senses, especially our noses!”
Caroline Burstein
