About this listen

 Life in Scents is a podcast about smell, hosted by Jo Barratt and Odette Toilette. It’s an interview show where each time, our guest talks about the scents that have meant something to them through their life. Bonfires, arm pits, swimming pools, Shalimar, the subway or a club at 3am, if it’s got an odour, it’s got a story.

    Perfume Pioneers: Killian Wells
    Sep 15 2017
    The olfactory rebel. Los Angeles-based Killian Wells, pop musician turned perfumer turned millennial entrepreneur, represents less a relaxing of the rules of perfumery and more their ripping up. His fragrance house Xyrena pays homage to the retro culture of the 1980s and to the smells we risk losing in the march of modernity. Wells’ first job was a cinema projectionist and this colours the format of the range; each perfume is packaged in a VHS case, with the invitation to display and reminisce over a movie library of scents. Dark Ride, which features in Perfume, is an olfactory snapshot of a log flume ride - Wells’ references are Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean and Splash Mountain rides.Perfume: A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent continues until 23 September at Somerset House.#perfumepioneers

    Perfumer Andy Tauer is a hobbyist turned professional, inspiring many to try their hand at perfumery. Tauer describes the creation of L’Air du Désert Marocain, which features in the exhibition Perfume: A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent, in cinematic terms as though standing in a desert scene receptive to the odours carried in the breeze. No perfumer has done more than Andy Tauer to communicate with perfume enthusiasts, and to bridge the knowledge gap between creator and consumer.Perfume: A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent continues until 23 Sept.https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/perfume#perfumepioneers
