Luca Turin returns to Fumerie

This event has reached capacity.

We are so thrilled to welcome back award-winning author and perfume critic Luca Turin to Fumerie this December. Turin was educated in France, Italy and the United Kingdom and holds a PhD in Biophysics from the University of London. His academic accomplishments notwithstanding, Turin is perhaps best known for co-authoring a series of perfume guides with his wife Tania Sanchez. Turin has established himself as one of the world’s foremost fragrance critics. 

His writing has ushered in a new era of fragrance criticism and helped to popularize the notion that perfumery is a serious form of artistic expression. His published work includes the original Parfums: le guide (in French); The Secret of Scent: Adventures of Perfume and the Science of Smell; Perfumes: The A-Z Guide, The Little Book of Perfumes: The Hundred Classics, and Perfumes: The Guide 2018 with Tania Sanchez; and Folio Columns 2003-2014, a collection of his monthly features and columns for Swiss magazine NZZ Folio. His perfume writing has earned him both the Prix Jasmin (France) and the Jasmine Prize (UK). Turin currently conducts research on olfaction, anesthesia and brain disorders. He and Sanchez recently announced that they have begun work on Perfumes: The Guide 2019.
