American Society of Perfumers Celebrates Fragrance Day at The Facticerie

Members of the American Society of Perfumers ventured to Hackensack, New Jersey, to celebrate Fragrance Day and explore The Facticerie – the world’s largest collection of fragrance factices, on the second anniversary of it’s induction into the Guiness Book of World Records. 

Guests were welcomed by Facticerie Founder and Factice Collector Sudhir Gupta and his partner Mercedes Acosta who greeted more than 50 members of the prestigious organization. Founded in 1947, the ASP boasts more than 300 professional perfumers in all and upholds the highest level of professional perfumery in the country. Perfumers from L’Oreal, Symrise, Robertet, Mane, Takasago, Givaudan, Agilex and other top fragrance houses were in attendance, including Symrise Master Perfumer Dirk Braun, Robertet’s James Krivda. Mane’s Vincent Kuczinski, and Delbia Do’s Darryl Do. The group was given a personal tour of The Facticerie by the collector, himself, along with special guest Dahiana Pérez, local television host of New York Live TV on NBC.

The Facticerie is home to more than 3.000 rare perfume factices, some one-of-a-kind. Each factice is a timeless expression of a lost art as unique as the fragrance it represents. As the retail industry evolves, factious are increasing rare and at risk of being lost and forgotten. Inspired by Gupta’s passion, The Facticerie serves to preserve these treasures.
