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: Ashley Eden Kessler sharing cat smells, cat expert Jackson Galaxy explaining how cats use smell in their experience of 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, and Egyptologist Robyn Price exploring the wonder of cats in Ancient Egypt.
Hosted by Saskia Wilson-Brown.
