"Like those planned cities, perfumes are also distillations of the time in which they were made."

On the topic of fragrance (the best topic), I recently wrote about the new wave of investments and acquisitions in the niche fragrance space for @BoF, check it out if you like to read about the nitty gritty of how indie perfume brands get to the big time https://t.co/sXKkbkk5aT
I'm really stoked to have contributed to this series on perfume and memory, probably one of my favorite things I've written in a while. Be sure to sign up to get the full Scent Access Memory writing in your inbox!
