"Per Fumum" - i.e. through the smoke - which refers to sacrifices to the gods with incense burning on the altars. If we combine these two words we will obtain the word perfume from Latin translation.

Smell is a sense. It accompanies us from birth to death. Through smell we perceive the world and other people. Apparently, we also fall in love through smell... We seduce  through smell, through smell we can also scary  but that's another story. The May edition is accompanied by the motto "Per Fumum". Let's dress in a scent. Difficult? Not necessarily. At first we associated this motto  to flowers. They give off very strong, captivating aromas, they sparkle with thousands of colors and they are transferred to canvas with pleasure by painters and by designers to textiles. But smell is not just flowers: it also food smells;  for example chocolate has a very intense aroma. It has a beautiful warm color, which often passes into a powerful, dark and dense brown. Honey and olive oil not only smell but have a golden color, and not without reason they are called liquid gold. Inorganic materials also have their own fragrance, color and texture.

Marilyn Monroe used to say that she was going to sleep wearing only a drop of Chanel No. 5,  so let’s dress in a scent! Which one for the day? Which for the evening? We look forward to your suggestions. The key theme is not mandatory, but we happily suggest that the known and exclusive perfume brands granted many awards for designers.
