Fragrance and packaging specialists Mane and Crafting Beauty have worked together to create the official perfume and candle of the 2015 “Best of France” show. The French eau de parfum will emphasize the South of France ambiance by including citrus and neroli Mediterranean notes. The candle will enhance the New York style with an apple scent, in reference to the “Big Apple.”
 
These French products will be made exclusively and sold during the Best of France event, located in Times Square, for the weekend of September 26th-27th. The show will explore the diversity of the French “Art de Vivre” through events and programs focusing on gastronomy, lifestyle, tourism, fashion, beauty, culture, and technology and innovation. After the successful 2013 edition, more than 500,000 visitors are expected this year, making this show the world’s largest event dedicated to France.
          
With free general admission, visitors will discover the best of what France has to offer today, with the presence of famous brands such as L’Oréal, Air France, Dassault Falcon, Sofitel, Axa, Galeries Lafayette and YSL. There will be entertainment, food and wine tastings, fashion shows, concerts and dancing.
 
Highlighting the expertise of French perfumery, Mane will feature a live demonstration of the distillation of the fragrance’s raw materials, which will give the public a unique opportunity to see the process of how perfume is made. The exclusive 2015 Best of France signature fragrance creation, bottled by the French perfume packaging producer Crafting Beauty, will be available for sale at the Mane and Crafting Beauty stand located on Broadway, between 48th and 49th streets. The scent and the candle will be exclusively sold at the show, in limited quantities.
