Scent Dinner at Menton
A Scent Dinner
with
The New York Times’ Perfume Critic Chandler Burr
Sunday, September 26, 2010
6:00pm Cocktail Reception
6:30pm-9:30pm 5-Course Dinner
A very special evening at Menton. This September, dynamic speaker, prolific writer, and renowned perfume critic Chandler Burr will host Boston’s first Scent Dinner at Menton.
Scent Dinners are the combination of fine dining and a stimulating interactive master class in scent & perfume; two parallel dinners, one olfactory and invisible, the other gustatory and edible. With each course, Chandler will share both a great gourmand perfume and its raw materials. Then guests will taste the gastronomical equivalent of those scents in a dish created by Chef Colin Lynch.
This olfactory-inspired, gustatory event includes Chandler’s passionate and entertaining storytelling and an opportunity for guests to learn about the perfume industry and its history, engage their senses, and think about food a bit differently.
