If you want to talk about fragrance, you have to talk to Luca Turin. So we did. The biophysicist and writer wrote the book on fragrance—three actually—which were some of the first published guides to contemporary fragrance starting in the 1990s. He's since studied the science of how scent works with our sense of smell, still a grand mystery. Also a mystery: why masculine scents are so...the way that they are, what marks the difference between a scent and a fragrance, what makes some fragrances really bad and really good, and how far off we are to creating an electric nose. [Fragrances mentioned: Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise for Men, Fresh Cannabis Santal]Find more info, episodes, and merch at Smellyalater.liveLeave us a voice message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalater and we may respond on a future episode.Follow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3Leave a (nice) comment & (5-star) review wherever you stream, and if you feel so inclined, respond to our Spotify episode prompts please!😇As always, thank you for listening <3
