Frédéric Malle and his love affair with Rome

Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle opened in Rome. Mister Malle came to the Eternal City for the occasion few weeks ago, we had lunch together. The boutique with his amazing perfumes (each of them is unique as a piece of art ) is located in Via del Babuino 30. Malle declared to have a special feeling with the City and I am so happy to hear it. In a way,  Frédéric helps Rome to gain a better image and a glamour attitude. It is not a small detail.

A very special shopping tour

The 10th of June I had a private shopping tour with an american lawyer from Chicago:  Linda Watson. She booked me on line. She came with her husband and relatives. We went, among other places, to Lucia Odescalchi's jewelry atelier in vicolo del Piombo 17/b. In the picture below from left Alberta, Lucia, Linda and myself.  We had a great moment because Lucia, that is not all the time in her showroom, that day waited for us. She explained us the stones, the techniques and her inspiration. Her jewels are not necessarly expensive as She uses different kind of materials. A privilege that grandtourshopping can offer.
