Last week the first PUREDISTANCE INTERNATIONAL EVENING took place in the Puredistance Perfume Lounge. The Lounge is a well kept secret in a small, beautiful shopping arcade in the first district of Vienna.

The idea of the International Evening is that people from all countries can meet each other in an intimate, friendly place. In such a setting - with a nice glass of wine on the house - we hope nice people will meet each other and enjoy the evening. Our way to contribute to Human Warming. The next Puredistance International Evening in Vienna will be held on Thursday March 18th.

Puredistance Perfume Lounge - First District Vienna

Puredistance will be present at stand no.33 at the Global Art of Perfumes Fair. On the afternoon of 26 March, the fair is open to international specialist and consumer press; on 27 and 28 March to distributors and perfumery dealers and, on 28 March, the doors will also be open to members of the public interested in fragrances.

We will display the exclusive Puredistance Crystal Columns (made by Swarovski exclusively for Puredistance) in the recently designed Puredistance Showcase Centre. For visitors that like to sample Puredistance I Perfume we have the cute little Mini Giftbox that includes 1 ml. pure perfume. We welcome all visitors to come to our stand and discuss perfume, beauty and life!

The highlight of the congress will be the appearance of the world-renowned trend expert, Lidewij Edelkoort. Li was born in the Netherlands and moved to Paris at the age of 25. And never looked back. Which reminded me of someone else from the Netherlands who also moved to Paris (in 1900) and had good taste too: Kees van Dongen, one of my favourite artists. His work is elegant, stylish and 'light'. He didn't take life too seriously and enjoyed it as much as he could.

Kunsthandel Juffermans in Utrecht is specialized in the graphic work of Kees van Dongen. Juffermans is the writer and publisher of the 'catalogue raisonné 'KEES VAN DONGEN-THE GRAPHIC WORK'.
