What would Krakow smell like if sealed in a bottle? At 15.00 on 2 April, we invite you to the Wyspiański Pavilion for a meeting with one of the heroes of Krakow Story – Jakub Pietrynka, an independent Polish perfumer, the founder and the nose of the JMP Artisan Perfumes brand. We will talk about the scent of Krakow he has created and learn how the smells of ivy, leather, grass and watery notes build a story about Krakow.
Jakub’s words about the creation of the premiere scent called Kraków encourage the conversation: ‘As a tourism and recreation graduate and a fan of hiking I start my adventure in the heart of Krakow by the Wawel Castle (this is where the ivy which is the foundation of the head note grows). Like most tourists during the tour of the city I moved towards Kazimierz where the Sunday fair is underway. My attention was drawn to the old hippie leather bags, which in my opinion smell nostalgic. After a longer stroll along the Krakowska, Grodzka and Rynek streets, a march around the Błonia is the next item on my route (green notes, grass, etc.). Finally, I return to the Vistula where I sip coffee on a barge and enjoy the watery notes.’
