Perfume on the Radio

Ahhh... the sweet smell of home. Our inaugural episode explores how location relates to scent as host Saskia Wilson-Brown speaks to several perfumers and artists that work with real or imagined geographies in their practice. First, perfumers Spyros Drosopoulos (Baruti Perfumes), Dana El Masri (Jazmin Saraï) and Frank Bloem (The Snifferoo) talk about scent in relation to culture and location. Dr. Kate McLean then joins us to discuss her pioneering work mapping smells in cities, followed by perfumers Terees Western (FragranTed) and Ashley Eden Kessler (Studio Sentir) talking about how smell relates to their experience of the city. We’ll close out the program with some field reports: Donna Lipowitz (Lipowitz Smells) will share a poem about jasmine, and Refugio Jimenez (Arcane Chemistry)discusses a smell memory of his childhood in Arizona.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and think about what you smell. It's placemaking, at its most aromatic.
