The Perfumer's Cat
There is an anecdotal correlation between perfume-making and cat ownership. Perhaps it's the solitary nature of the work that lends itself to humanity's least co-dependent relationship. In this episode we explore the catty side of perfumery.
With:
Perfumer Ashley Eden Kessler sharing cat smells and cat accords
Cat expert Jackson Galaxy exploring how cats use smell to relate to the world
Art historian and museum professional Jessica Murphy sharing feline perfume advertising
Perfumer Laurie Stern discussing how her cats have impacted her practice
Designer Micah Hahn sharing anecdotal insights into the smell lives of two small house-cats, Egyptologist Robyn Price exploring the wonder of cats in Ancient Egypt.
Hosted by Saskia Wilson-Brown.
