Fragrance: An Invisible Art in a Digital World
A conversation with top industry experts Amy Caldamone ’06, Ana Christina Guimaraes ’14, and Amy Rueckl

What makes a fragrance special for each person? How does one find a signature scent? With the recent removal of in-person experiences, how is fragrance conveyed digitally? Our panel of industry leaders hopes to discuss these topics and more! |

Amy Caldamone ’06 has followed her longtime passion for the luxury beauty industry to a role as Fragrance Brand Manager for CHANEL USA. At Brown University, Amy concentrated in International Relations. Upon graduation, she moved to New York City and worked in Marketing for Disney Theatrical Productions, on such Broadway shows as The Lion King and Mary Poppins. She subsequently received her MBA from NYU Stern School of Business, focusing on Luxury Marketing and Strategy. Amy originally joined CHANEL as a consultant on the Fashion Strategy team in 2015 and subsequently moved into the Fragrance and Beauty division in 2017.
