The realm of scent is probably the most enigmatic territory in which the Ape and the Angel meet: it somehow manages to be both entirely primal and entirely cerebral. It is a field of creation in which precision, technology and abstract intellect are employed to elicit inexplicable emotions, to grasp at desires, to cast light on shadows of memories.
A few weeks ago, the Zurich-based perfumer Andy Tauer launched the first issue of what he hopes will be a regular customer magazine in which he’ll publish thoughts and views on the world of scent-creation. I was very fortunate to be asked to contribute an article to the debut edition, a few lines of which you can read above. The entire magazine is now available online to all, so if you’d like to read it, please click here. I do urge you to take a look at it, not just because I’d love it if you read my piece, but also because of Tauer’s own account of a recent trip to Saudi Arabia, which sparked a particularly interesting upcoming release.
Whilst I’m in self-promotion mode, I’d also like to say – with a massive gulp of trepidation – that I’m planning to broadcast a Facebook Live video on this Friday, 28th April 2017, at around 12:00 pm UK time. Of course, the entire scheme could be derailed by dodgy technology, or a nasty cold or a whole host of other, unexpected developments. But all being well, I shall be in front of my camera on Friday, for the first episode of a new venture I’m calling Love At First Scent. The video will be broadcast through my Persolaise Perfumes page, so if you don’t already know where it is, please click here. I do hope you’ll be able to join me on Friday!
