Charming, sparkly, seductive. Radical, raw, noble. For most of modern fragrance’s recorded history, perfume has fallen into two decidedly different camps: female and male. Traditional female oriented fragrances display sweet, floral and fruity notes like strawberry, jasmine, rose and vanilla while their male counterparts boast more intense, woody, and musky notes such as tobacco, oud, and leather. However, these clear gender roles in fragrance are not based in our biological preferences but rather in cultural devices of Western society. Gender in fragrances tend to reflect everything from char ..read more

There is something about the smell of a crackling hearth, of a brand new car or handbag that is subconsciously satisfying. These scents, smoke and leather, are some of the most comforting scents in our olfactory range. While these are two of the oldest scents known to man, they are still universally popular to this day.

Compared to the other senses, our sense of smell is often under appreciated. This notion is possibly due to the fact that much of olfaction operates beneath our consciousness – happening all the time without us being acutely aware. How do we smell? Unlike our other senses, like sight, that often dominate and override our sense of smell in everyday situations, smell doesn’t head straight to the thalamus, the brain structure most commonly associated with consciousness. Rather, smell detection first arrives at the olfactory bulb which passes information to the hippocampus portion of the limbic sy ..read more
