Maybe he's going to form a new religion? Maybe he should run for governor of my state. Ours just resigned and he seems like he has some mavericky ideas that could come in handy if we meet any dinosaurs.Caitlin Shortellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580765911199060109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-3652096011546533762009-07-13T19:23:01.869-07:002009-07-13T19:23:01.869-07:00Eliza,

I studied perfumery in Grasse and am constantly amazed at the amount of baloney out there. <br /><br />I've often wondered where Roja Dove received his professorship...<br /><br />There's a 'perfumer' in Portland who writes that he is 'recognized as one of 26 by the Council of Six. To qualify as a Nose, the prospective candidate must be able to recant all of the elements that comprises the essential elements within a fragrance before the sprayed droplets reach the floor.'<br /><br />I LOVE that last bit. (Image in my mind of shrieking out "Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, Hedione, Benzyl Salicylate!" as they 'fall' to the floor. I double-checked with Max Gavarry just to make sure this wasn't a top secret society I'd missed out on and he snorted in response. <br /><br />In a nutshell, it seems that because a lot of people haven't had the opportunity to learn about smell and at the same time are fed a huge amount of misinformation, 'Noses' like these can say what they like.Elizanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-82232907953404307162009-04-15T20:02:00.000-07:002009-04-15T20:02:00.000-07:00Katie:
