36. Decolonizing Scent (w/ Perfumer Yosh Han)

Perfumer, Sommelier, Activist and Clairvoyant Yosh Han is in the Perfume Room today. Yosh has been at the forefront of decolonizing scent and her activism has led to major change in the industry; across the world, major stakeholders are officially re-classifying the o-word to amber (or ambré). We discuss why this change is necessary, the progress thus far, as well as how you (yes YOU!) can get involved. Yosh also vulnerably discusses a low point in her perfume journey including a time when she essentially lost her sense of smell, why vanilla is a low-hanging fruit, and of course the connection between clairvoyance, auras, and scent (which may or may not include a live aura reading). Oh and buckle up because I accidentally say creamy a lot; moist, you’re next! I also discuss the tragedy that is Atelier Cologne. FRAGS MENTIONED: Diptyque Volutes, Parfum de Marly Meliora, Juan M.
