http://www.fragrance.org/What the Nose Knows
What the Nose Knows: The Science of Scent in Everyday Life by Avery Gilbert (Crown Publishers) Some prefer not to deconstruct the impact of scent into evolutionary terms. If you aren't one of those, if you want the Desmond Morris on the why of attraction to certain smells and the way scent can be used to manipulate memory and mood, you'll want to read this. If you need a utilitarian justification for this art, hurry and get a copy. Sadly, in the art of scent, there is biological and neurological discovery that's as flashy as the art itself (sometimes flashier). Imagine doing this sort of thing to works of visual art , for example (and some really are asking for it). Diissecting the rods, the cones, binocular vision, the electrical activity in the visual cortex, etc. Going on about the specialized tissue of the brain that makes up the eyeball apparatus. The evolution of the eye and the brain tissue that supports it. How the visualization of sexual apparatus of potential mates has an allure no matter how sublimated. What purpose does it serve in the context of art?

This is a gathering of serious perfumistas in New York that has grown like wildfire! Must be a member of their site, but the next one will be April 12-13 for the Spring Fling Fragrance Event. All details are on the website. They have these events several times a year now. Wish I lived closer, sounds like a great time!

http://www.gcimagazine.com/news/fragrance/22027854.htmlEveryone’s a Critic / NYT
IN the realm of perfume, one man’s pudding is the next man’s tar. That the reaction to a fragrance can be visceral, and personal, is not news to Luca Turin, who over the years has inhaled and critiqued hundreds of scents. In assessing them, Mr. Turin, a scientist and fragrance expert, makes no attempt to hide his partisanship.
