month on ART OF LIFE CNN’s Monita Rajpal explores the world of celebrated
Italian fashion designer Alberta Ferretti and takes a look at scent, visiting
a bespoke perfumery in London and a Parisian hotel that has created its own scent
which it even includes in its desserts. Alberta Ferretti unveils
her passion for her work, taking Monita to her factory in Cattolica, Italy, where
the Alberta Ferretti and Philosophy lines are created. Ferretti also invites Monita
to her country home and welcomes her aboard her boat, an extraordinary old icebreaker
that she re-designed into a luxury family yacht to escape the pressures of life
in the fashion world. Monita gets a rare insight into Ferretti’s private
life as they sail off the coast of Italy. Back in London, Monita
learns about the luxurious process of haute couture perfume, with a starting price
of around £7000. Creative perfumers create individual scents using colour
therapy to profile a client's personality and asking them to smell over 4000 oils
that can be used to make their own unique perfume. The development of perfume
is done by an esteem perfumer. ART OF LIFE travels to Grasse in France to visit
Jacques Chabert, responsible for iconic scents by Guerlain and Chanel.
The Park Hyatt Hotel in Paris has created a scent for its guests. The smell
surrounds the hotel and the head chef has even devised a dessert that incorporates
it. Blaise Mautin, the Park Hyatt’s ‘nose’ talks to ART OF LIFE
about how it was created. AIRTIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE For
