Posted on by omnispear
New York P.R. maven Harriet Weintraub flew East with Gene Gresanti for the preview, which ended earlier this week-along with IFF, Harriet represents Burberry, Lanvin, Guerlain, Coach, Brooks Brothers and other international accounts. After the preview, Gene and Harriet arranged a dinner at Mr. Chow, where guests included Angie Dickinson, Kathy and Rick Hilton, Wendy Goldberg with daughter Amanda, Victoria McMahon, Christie’s George McNeely and Marica Hobbs, W’s Merle Ginsberg with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Randal Haworth, designer James Galanos. After dinner, Gene Grisanti discussed the megamillions IFF spends for research, even hiring sex therapists Masters and Johnson for their conclusions-plus robots as sniffers. “We’ve discovered that the scent of vanillas is soothing and relaxing, and when accompanied by candlelight and music, it enhances the libido.”
