Gabe Oppenheim

Gabe Oppenheim is a NYC-based author of several of books and countless articles for The Washington Post, Vice, Rolling Stone and other publications. He covered prizefighting at the highest level before turning his attention to the perfumery scene and then a ghastly crime committed a century earlier in his hometown.

Oppenheim is drawn to small, sometimes sad niches. To the dissipation of lives and chemicals both. To those moments of consummate beauty that cannot last -- and yet how pretty would it be if they could?

His most recent books are “The Ghost Perfumer,” an inside look at the workings of the fragrance industry (and a small expose of one particular charlatan of that business) and, released in late 2024, "New York City Love Triangle, 1931," the history of a NYC love triangle -- turned murderous and suicidal -- that marked the convergence of three major families and involved top politicians (in the Democratic and Republican parties), a preternaturally talented, Paris-trained painter and the lothario son of the most famous Yiddish actor in the world.

He is also the creator of "DCU: Deep Crime Unit," a television drama that aired on Tokyo Broadcasting System in Japan in 2021.
