He hates perfume: Swearing off the bottle

By Gallucci

" I have a strong sensitivity to certain aromachemicals, like musk, "

says Brosius. " The aldehydes in Chanel No. 5 make me

puke. " And that is unfortunate, he continues, because the Polish

ladies here in burg wear so much of it.

is the perfumer behind CB I Hate Perfume Gallery, a small

shop on a street that runs parallel to New York's East River. I've

visited often in the years since I first wandered in and overheard

the owner describing his philosophy: that great fragrances are

unimposing and genderless, and they should harmonise with a person's

natural odour. ...

.... Though it may seem obvious, it bears mentioning that

's perfumes are not for everyone. He doesn't use synthetic

musk as a base-note because the smell repulses him, and that may

disappoint some clients. And those accustomed to the intensity of

commercial fragrances should also look elsewhere: all of the CB

scents are suspended in a water-based formula, and with the exception

of a handful that manage to be heady and persistent, they seem light-

wearing. ...

CB I Hate Perfume Gallery/ Brosius Limited, 93 Wythe

Avenue burg Brooklyn (Between North 10th and North 11th).

Tel: +1 718-384-6890. Hours: Tues-Sat, noon-6pm.
