Ep 45: The P Word (feat. Chandler Burr)

Pull out your thesaurus and moisten your quill because this week Maddie and Chloe are joined by former New York Times perfume critic Chandler Burr to discuss the language of scent. The author sat down with the Nose Candy gals to talk about (how to talk about) everything from synthetic molecules to Joan Didion to Abstract Expressionism to Yankee Candles. Looking for a perfume that smells like a David Hockney painting? What about a Laura Ashley duvet cover? Razorblade rose petals? Grab your scented notebooks fragheads because this is a lesson in perfume rhetoric with one of the best to ever do it!Want more from the writer of the New Yorker's definitive piece on scent Chandler Burr?

Get thee to Youtube to watch the 2011 BBC documentary "Perfume" which offers a window into Chandler's former life as a perfume critic in New York and constitutes one of Maddie's all time favorite films.Fragrances discussed:Chanel #5Vietnamese Coffee by d'AnnamMiss Dior by Christian DiorDiorama by Christian DiorDiorella by by Christian DiorKenzo JungleAlien by MuglerFlower Bomb by Viktor & RolfCalvin Klein EuphoriaDior Pure PoisonCK OneD&G Light BlueKitten Fur by DemeterJovoy PsychedeliqueKenzo FlowerPortrait of a Lady by Frederic MalleGucci RushEau de Protection by Etat Libre d'OrangeYou or Someone Like you Etat Libre d'Orange Hosted on Acast.
