DAY 3/5: POPPY SOMA Extrait de parfum Day 3 as artists-in-residence at the Corning Museum of Glass last week saw our glass-blowing master Catherine Ayers creating the fantasy perfume bottle design for our Fragrance Foundation award-winning Poppy Soma, a narcotic extrait de parfum that pays homage to the potency of the “soma” or nectar contained within the seedpod, and the basis for opium. The surrealistic fantasy bottle design features a realistic red Poppy flower perched on top of its own seed pod, a botanical before-and-after, with the flower serving as dip wand and seed pod as base. The white milky drops are renderings of the “soma” the seed nectar that is collected and refined into opium. Assisted by Chris Rochelle and Helen Tegeler. We are so grateful to have been invited by the Corning Museum of Glass to be their official artists-in-residence last week where we got the chance to create four fully-functioning fantasy perfume bottles for Wolfsbane, Poppy Soma, Hemlock, and Bloodflower, perfumes from our award-winning collection of fragrances inspired by poisonous flora, Les Potions Fatales, with the talented hot glass team of Catherine Ayers, Chris Rochelle, and Helen Tegeler. What an absolutely inspiring experience through and through and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results!  Tomorrow we’ll showcase the fantasy bottle for Hemlock eau de toilette followed by Bloodflower eau de parfum this Friday. #parfumsquartana #lespotionsfatales #poppysoma #perfumeextraordinaire #perfumebottle #corningmuseumofglass #artistinresidence #josephquartana #catherineayers

DAY 2/5: WOLFSBANE Eau de parfum Our second day as artists-in-residence at the Corning Museum of Glass last week has our master glazier Catherine Ayers rendering the fantasy perfume bottle we designed (complete with functioning dip wand!) for Wolfsbane, a beastly, psychedelic eau de parfum. The fantasy bottle design reflects the spirit of the perfume designed by Philippe Paparella-Paris, and is a stalk of exaggerated, surrealistic Wolfsbane flowers stuffed into a 19th century, skull-emblazoned absinthe bottle which serves as the base. Assisted by Chris Rochelle and Helen Tegeler. We are so grateful to have been invited by the Corning Museum of Glass to be their official artists-in-residence last week where we got the chance to create four fully-functioning fantasy perfume bottles inspired by the fatal flowers of our award-winning perfume collection Les Potions Fatales, with the talented hot glass team of Catherine Ayers, Chris Rochelle, and Helen Tegeler. What an absolutely inspiring experience through and through and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results!  Tomorrow we’ll show off the design, process and finished blown-glass fantasy bottle for our Fragrance Foundation @fragrancefoundation award-winning Poppy Soma extrait de parfum, then Hemlock eau de toilette Thursday and Bloodflower eau de parfum this Friday. #parfumsquartana #lespotionsfatales #wolfsbane #perfumebottle #corningmuseumofglass #artistinresidence #josephquartana #catherineayers

We are so grateful to have been invited by the Corning Museum of Glass to be their official artists-in-residence last week where we got the chance to create four fully-functioning fantasy perfume bottles inspired by the fatal flowers of our award-winning perfume collection Les Potions Fatales, with the incredibly talented hot glass team of Catherine Ayers, Chris Rochelle, Caitlin Hyde, and Helen Tegeler. What an absolutely inspiring experience through and through and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results, and can’t wait to share them with you. On our first day we met and briefed the glass team, sharing our designs and discussing how to go about actually rendering each. Afterward, we got to explore the museum including the Sensorium perfume bottle exhibit finishing the day with dinner in Downtown Corning with our host and friend, Troy Smythe. Over the next four days we’ll show off the design, process and finished blown-glass fantasy bottles for our Hemlock, Wolfsbane, Bloodflower, and Poppy Soma parfums, one per day. #parfumsquartana #lespotionsfatales #perfumebottles #corningmuseumofglass
