From Cleopatra to Coco Chanel, from chemistry’s power over nature
to the deepest misteries of scent.
The original inventors of perfume were trying to create an
aphrodisiac. In many ways they were successful, at the very least
creating an olfactory lure that attracts and binds. The history
and future of perfume pretty much parallel one another in
keeping with that original goal. Today, perfume is deeply
intertwined with human history and intrinsic in our day to day lives.
