In dieser Episode tauchen wir tief in das Erbe und die Philosophie der legendären Luxusmarke Issey Miyake ein. Von den frühen Jahren des kreativen Genies Issey Miyake bis hin zu seiner revolutionären Herangehensweise an Mode, die die Grenzen von Kunst, Technologie und Design verwischt, bieten wir einen faszinierenden Einblick in eine der einflussreichsten Marken der Modewelt. Wir beleuchten die ikonischen Kreationen, wie die „Pleats Please“-Kollektion und das bahnbrechende Duft-Design, das Issey Miyake zu einem globalen Namen machte. Dabei betrachten wir, wie Miyakes unermüdlicher Innovationsgeist die Modebranche nicht nur in den 80er Jahren prägte, sondern auch heute noch Inspiration für Designer weltweit liefert.

XX wieku dokonali prawdziwej rewolucji, na głowie stawiając dotychczasowy system i konwenanse. Ich wizja odzieży wstrząsnęła Francją. Krytycy początkowo nazywali ją „Post-Hiroshima” albo po prostu „zaniedbaną”. Czym się wyróżniali Kenzo Takada, Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto i Rei Kawakubo? Jak zachodni system przyjął ich nowoczesną wizję? I który z nich wjechał na swój pokaz na słoniu?Podcastu „Kroniki paryskie” możesz posłuchać na platformach Spotify, Apple Podcasts oraz YouTube.

Todd Bracher is a US-based product designer who has worked with brands such as Humanscale, 3M, Herman Miller, Georg Jensen and Issey Miyake through his eponymous studio, winning a slew of awards along the way. More recently, he created another company, Betterlab, in which he collaborates with scientists and innovators to, in his words, ‘shape emerging research and foundational technologies into game-changing products'. The company has taken a particular interest in the potential of light, for medical and other, perhaps unexpected, uses. Todd's latest project is a book. Design in Context, which is out now, illustrates how design – and design-led thinking – has the potential to change and shape every facet of business.In this episode we talk about: generating value for different clients; the importance of collaboration; why he launched Betterlab; how he's using light to combat myopia; finding truth in design; how light becomes a material; learning to shape rather than style it; working with UVC and creating extraordinary products for health environments; leaving the US to study in Copenhagen; working in Milan; learning the ‘business of design' under Tom Dixon; and designing net positive furniture for Humanscale. Support the show

Once upon a time, there was a place you could go on the internet to buy all the strangest fruits that fashion's best and brightest had to offer. Now, you're more likely to hit it when you decide to become the billionth person in the world to own a pair of sambas. That place is SSENSE - the luxury e-commerce mega retailer based out of Montreal, which houses every fashion brand from Canada Goose to Issey Miyake, and employs just about the entire 20-something anglo population of Montreal. SSENSE has become an undeniable powerhouse in the world of luxury e-commerce, carving a name for itself with an unorthodox business model that fuses fashion and technology. But can a company which has been called “the Amazon of high fashion” really be the bastion of the arts that it proclaims to be? In this extra special Patreon bonus episode, Maia and Hannah, with the help of a series of interviews from former SSENSE employees and small business owners, discuss SSENSE'S impact on fashion as an art form. As SSENSE gobbles up all the fish in the e-commerce pond, is it actually supporting emerging artists, or snuffing them out?  FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/rehashpodcast

Be Honest with Dr Yana Date: 07.12.24 Ep 33 Guest: Victor Morgado Topic: Women as Psychopaths- Destryoing Families Bio: Victor Morgado is a multidisciplinary, self-taught polyglot and intuitive artist. He became aware of his calling as an artist between 1962 and 1965, when he was between eight and ten years old. His mother's constant encouragement to explore new ideas greatly influenced him during what became known as the "Golden Era of Puerto Rican Literature" (1950-1970). This period marked a coming of age after 50 years of resistance to being allowed to officially express ourselves in our native language. Since 1898, when Spain surrendered Puerto Rico to the USA, the English language had been imposed for half a century. When that restriction ended, there was a cultural explosion ten years prior to the global cultural revolution of the 1960s. After a psychedelic experience that called his attention to the importance of symbolism as a tool to connect with the unconscious, indirectly reconnecting him with the Manifesto of Surrealism by Andre Breton published in 1924—a profound path of possibilities opening the mind for self-individuation. Throughout 1980s he had several exhibitions at Valducci Gallery in Amsterdam and was a fashion model for Issey Miyake. In 2024, he began writing his memoirs.

What you'll learn in this episode: How Saudia is preserving her mom Cara Croninger's legacy Why Cara Croninger's resin and plastic jewelry was—and still is—groundbreaking How Cara Croninger refined her jewelry making process, and why she didn't want her pieces to be perfect What it was like to grow up in an artistic family in the heyday of New York's art jewelry scene How Saudia's mom and dad influenced her music career today   About Saudia Young Saudia Young is a New York City-born actress/singer and storyteller in theater and film. Born on the Lower East Side and brought up between Tribeca and LA, Young explores the notion of home, love, justice, and identity through her art.   The recently repatriated artist lived in Berlin, Germany, for a long chapter of performing, writing, and producing. The Ameripolitan Awards 2023 Female Rockabilly Singer nominee released her 7" single ‘Noir Rockabilly Blues,' produced by Lars Vegas-DE and featuring 'The Wobble' on the A and Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life' on the B side, in 2017, followed up by her 12” debut ‘Unlovable' in 2018.

To musician and actress Saudia Young, she was just mom. Today, Saudia is working to preserve her mother's legacy and secure her place in art jewelry history. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how Cara made her pioneering resin jewelry; how Cara's work evolved with the times; and why Saudia thinks of her mom every time she performs. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.   Today, we're speaking to my guest, Saudia Young, who is located in Philadelphia. She has an interesting background. Her mother was a very well-known jeweler, and her father was an actor. She was born in New York and grew up between New York and Los Angeles. Welcome back.   Were you aware she was doing this? Were you aware that she went to different galleries, that she didn't have a sales rep when you were growing up? Were you aware of this?   Saudia: Yeah, of course. There was one point in the 90s where she had a showroom. Tony Goldman and Janet Goldman had a showroom called Fragments, and she was in the showroom for some years. She had different reps throughout her life. Ten Thousand Things was a store. They still exist, and they have incredibly beautiful work. For a while in the Meatpacking District, they had a nice cadre of artists, and my mom was one of the artists. They also did wholesale for her. So, they represented her work to other people.   Sharon: I have a few pieces, just a smattering, but do you have a lot of her work? Do you have an archive of her work?   Saudia: Oh, yeah. That's part of what I've been dealing with. My sister and I have our own personal collections. Throughout the years, my mom collected the best pieces of each group and gave us our personal collections. Then I have basically all the work she left behind when she passed away. I've been trying to organize that. There was a big section of it shown at the Aspen Art Museum two years ago for about a year. Jonathan Burger had a show called The Store. My mom's jewelry and sculptures were in one show. That was really exciting, to have both together. Actually, 14 small sculptures sold during that show and, fingers crossed, about seven pieces will be donated to an institution. I'm not going to say which one. That takes a long time.   Right now, there are pieces that are actively being sold. Lisa Berman—not a family member, just the same last name—from Sculpture to Wear sold some of my mom's work at her first gallery. She also helped sell some pieces when I came out and was trying to figure out what to do and how to secure the legacy, meaning literally a storage space to hold everything. It's a big responsibility.   Sharon: You're referring to Lisa Berman.   Saudia: Yeah, who is not your blood relation but of the same name. Obviously, she introduced us and was part of the first interview. She's consulted with me. She's another one of the angels. There's a whole host of people who are still in awe of my mom's work and in support and cheerleading. It includes Robert Lee Morris.   I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the work to secure the legacy. It is being sold at Studio Hop in Providence, Rhode Island. That's introducing the work to some people who have not seen it before. It's introducing it to a new audience, which is really nice. Jussara Lee, who used to sell it in Manhattan and is now in Connecticut, has been selling it. Other than that, I have an Artwork Archive website for her so people can see the work. I'm not selling it from that website, but there is a section of it that's still being sold. Then there's a section I'm holding in case I can get it accepted into an institution.   Sharon: I remember a few years ago, I fell in love with a bracelet and I didn't end up getting it. I think it was the first time I ever heard of her, and I thought it was so neat.   Saudia: Yeah, it sold a lot of work. They stopped selling after she passed away. They also had a hard time. Everybody is just recovering now from Covid. A lot of people had a very hard time in the past few years. Some stores closed and sales went down. There were several stores who were carrying her work who have closed since Covid.   Sharon: What did you do to make it through Covid and to have money come in?   Saudia: I cried. I don't know. I did whatever I could. I was going back and forth between Germany and here. There was a grant in Germany—actually, it wasn't a grant; it was a loan—but there was a Covid loan they were giving to artists in Germany. Here, I went on unemployment for a while and then I went off it, whatever I could. We all did what we could to survive.   Sharon: That's very true. I know there were different things we had to do. I agree with you that people are just coming out of it now.   Saudia: And now we have two wars, so it's like, “Great, thank you.” Can't catch a break.   Sharon: Which is worse? I don't know. I guess if you're in the field over there, it's worse.   Saudia: Yeah.   Sharon: A lot worse. How does it feel to have a mother who's mentioned by people you don't know? You say you're the daughter and all of a sudden, they say, “Oh, I love your mom,” or “I love her jewelry.”   Saudia: What do you mean? How does it feel?   Sharon: Yeah. If I said, “Oh, I have a really neat bracelet,” and the person says, “I've not heard of that person,” how does it feel?   Saudia: First of all, a young man—he's probably my age. It's so funny I still think of myself as a teenager. Timothy Reukauf is a stylist. He's another angel who introduced me to the manager and owner of Screaming Mimis Vintage clothing and jewelry store in New York. When I brought the work, because they brought the work to a vintage show, and they're showing the work and trying to sell it, she was so enthusiastic and happy and excited. It was nice because it's an extension of my mom, and I miss my mom. I feel like it's that, as opposed to anything ego-based. It's more emotional—now you're going to get me emotional. But it's nice to know because I really miss her, and when I hear people loving her work, it's heartening. It's heart filling.   Sharon: That's a good word, heart-filling. I've heard different things. It's Croninger with a hard g. I've heard that as Croninger with a soft g. Which one is it?   Saudia: Oh lord, that's a good one. It's Cara Croninger with a hard g, but people have called her Croninger with a soft g. People have called her Cara. She's even called herself Cara, but it's Cara Lee. Her Michigan name was Cara Lee Croninger, but it depends on who you are. Are you Dutch? Are you German? Are you from New Jersey?   Sharon: Did she support your career as an artist?   Saudia: Do you mean my dreaming? Yeah, she supported me being a dreaming, silly person, definitely. She put me in dance school. She always thought I should be a painter, actually. She'd say, “You should be a painter,” because I had a natural ability to draw and to work with my hands. After being a child laborer with her, I could make things. But all jokes aside, she was very supportive of me being an artist or whatever it was that I wanted to be, political activist or artist. My sister was an architect. She was very supportive of that. She was beloved by a lot of the young artists who were around Dumbo, our friends, our extended family. She was a positive influence, a positive auntie, elder, second mom, to a lot of people.   Sharon: It sounds like it.   Saudia: Yeah. I shared her as a mom figure with a lot of people.   Sharon: Tell us more about your singing. Do you think of her when you sing?   Saudia: Yeah, I think of her with whatever I do, for sure. There's one song—I think you wrote it down on the question list—It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got that Swing), doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop. I think it was Louis Armstrong. She was working on some kind of saying or branding because she was really into the earrings having a nice swing. She coined it when I was helping her make them. The holes had to be big enough so the lyre could be comfortable enough so the earrings could swing. She incorporated that into some of her branding.   But yeah, I listened to a lot of music growing up. She was very into Judy Collins and Kurt Weill, a wild range. She dated one of the Clancy Brothers—they were very into folk music in the 60s—and my dad and her were into soul and Otis Redding and Taj Mahal and Bonnie Raitt. I'm wandering, but yes.   Sharon: What years was she most popular? It seems like she had a real high.   Saudia: I think the 80s. The minute she started doing the resin stuff, she went into Sculpture to Wear, which was a very prestigious gallery. I'd say the early 70s through the 80s. Then Artwear closed and she was on her own. She did really well in the 90s as well. She was pretty prolific, but I think the 80s were the time when there were tons and tons of fashion articles and fashion shoots with all the supermodels of that time.   Sharon: Talk about wandering, because I'm looking at my list of questions. Tell us how you were involved in making her jewelry. You told us a little bit, but did you ever cut the hearts?   Saudia: The hearts were made in molds. She created molds and poured, and then we would open the rubber molds. I would help sand. I would help drill holes. I can drill a hole. I would help with polishing. Like I said, I would help with finishing work and stringing cords on the hearts. Trying to influence her businesswise, she was not having it.   Sharon: Would she say, “That color doesn't look better in the green. It looks better in the purple,” or something that?   Saudia: No, not really because once something is poured, it's a done deal. That would be like, after you've made 500 brownies, saying, “I wish we had blueberry muffins.” It's too late now.   Sharon: She could say, “Well, you can have it then, and I'll try and sell the purple one,” or something.   Saudia: No, the work was too labor-intensive. Once things were made, you really needed to get them out there. They were like donuts in a way. You need to get them out so they don't go stale. Keep the energy, keep them moving. The only thing she was conflicted about was pricing. There was a point in jewelry where everything—remember when the Y necklaces came out? Everything was really tiny. There was a point where it was trendy to have really tiny jewelry, and that freaked her out because her work was so big and sculptural. She would get freaked out about that kind of stuff. The editors loved her work because it was big and you could see it. It went incredibly with beautiful clothes like Issey Miyake and these avant garde designers. The tiny stuff, you can't see it in an editorial. It's so funny; you'll have a cover article and it'll be like, “Earrings by whomever,” and I'm like, “Where are they? What earrings?”   Sharon: That's interesting. Miyake or Yohji Yamamoto, they're high-end, but they've become very—they're not that valued anymore.   Saudia: Now they're mainstream, yeah.   Sharon: Do you think your mother's jewelry would be considered avant garde today?   Saudia: Yeah, it still is in a way because of the designs and the fact that it was really handmade. She was making her own work. Maybe Lisa would call that studio jewelry. She was in her studio making it herself. She did have a short relationship with a company in Japan where they were making work that would only be sold there. It was fine, but you could really see the difference and feel the difference. It wasn't Cara. It wasn't special, unfortunately. We're grateful that they did it, that she had that relationship and that we could go to Japan and travel there. That was awesome.   So, I think she was avant garde as an artist. I don't agree that Yohji is no longer avant garde. His designs are so beautiful. He's really focused on craftsmanship, having amazing makers creating his work. In a way that is avant garde, as opposed to crap being made. You know what I mean?   Sharon: You're right, 100%.   Saudia: In a factory.   Sharon: I can't think of another one, but there are a lot of designers whose work you can't afford—I'm talking about clothing—who have developed their own less expensive lines.   Saudia: Yeah. I remember when they would call it the junior line, and it would be for the younger kids. It would be lighter and cheaper and faster and funnier and all that. Now there are lots of layers of that, but you have these throwaway clothes being made by companies like H&M and so forth.   Sharon: Do you think she would fit in, like she'd make a smaller version of something that she made large?   Saudia: She did do some smaller things when she was working with the Japanese company. That led her into making some tiny silver hearts and medium-size silver. Then she had to do her big pieces. She could not let go of her love affair with big, sculptural pieces. I think she was conflicted about the McDonaldizing of fashion and accessories. Of course, she wanted to put food on the table, but she was really conscious of the environment. Even though she was working in plastics, she was very conscious of workers and workers' rights. Where does something come from? How is it made, and what's the impact of it being made?   Sharon: It sounds like she carried that through the 80s, into the 90s, into today.   Saudia: Definitely. She definitely had something to do with me being political, her and my father. She was very righteous.   Sharon: I know you do cabaret and rockabilly. What else do you do? What do you sing?   Saudia: My main focus is mental health. It's a really hard time right now, I feel, but I think it's actually a good time to continue to do the rockabilly, but to circle back to the dark cabaret I was doing before the rockabilly. So, I'm working on that. I'm working with a few musicians here in Philly, and I have some shows with musicians in other parts of the country. For Thanksgiving, I'm going to be in Illinois with Patrick Jones and 3 On The Tree. It's a band. We're going to do a rockabilly Thanksgiving tour. Then in March, I'll be in California, in Orange County.   Sharon: Doing what?   Saudia: Doing rockabilly with The Hi-Jivers and Abby Girl. In Orange County, we're going to do just a rockabilly R&B show. Then in April, I'll be with Viva Las Vegas again, which is a rockabilly weekend. I'll do an R&B show and rockabilly. In between, I'm just trying to stay sane, make a living, take care of my mom's work, tell her story. I'm supposedly writing a story about my mom and my dad, sort of a solo show. I don't know if it's a solo show or a documentary, but it's about their relationship as an interracial couple in the 60s and an interracial artist couple.   Sharon: That'll be very interesting   Saudia: They were both known as being difficult people, but most artists are in a way. It takes a lot of energy to do that work, so you can ruffle a lot of feathers. So, that's what I'm doing.   Sharon: I hope I'll get to meet you then. Thank you so much. This was very interesting.   Saudia: Thank you so much. Sharon: Thank you. Well will have photos posted on the website.

She would always think about, “What am I going to pour?” It might be a ruby red, which was really popular and beautiful. One of the most popular pours, I think I said in the last interview, was the black and white, where she would have black and white and it would come out in a striped formation. Then she would pour into her different molds, the bangles, the C cuffs, the earrings.   Just as important as the colors were the processes. For the slice earrings, she would pour the layers so it would be striped into a block like a loaf of bread, a small, little, long brownie. Then she would slice it on a bandsaw and you would get to see the stripes. Part of her process was the actual cutting, carving, sanding to get the shapes, and then making the decision whether she was going to have them polished or matte without polish.   Sharon: A mask?   Saudia: Matte, sorry. What the finish would be. If she had faceted bangles or hearts or whatever, she was very aware of not making anything perfect. She used the fact that it had scratches to show the layers of work and to show that it's made by a human. It wasn't something that needed to be absolutely perfect. She was very into wabi sabi, the Japanese art of the imperfect. She loved wavy shapes and asymmetry in her designs.   Sharon: Who did the selling for the first years, when you were getting it off the ground?   Saudia: I was a kid, so I wasn't going to get it off the ground. I was just eating the food she was putting in the refrigerator. When she first started with the leatherwork, she was just going around to different boutiques in the Village or whatever and selling them, either having them buy it straight out or on consignment. I think one of the worker's galleries was the original Sculpture to Wear. That was near where MAD Museum is right now. I'm forgetting the name of the hotel. That was one of her galleries. I'm sure there were other stores I don't know about.   That was in 1971 or something like that. That was very close to when she started working in plastic. She got taken in and accepted really quickly. At that time, Robert Lee Morris was also selling at Sculpture to Wear. He was a wunderkind. He was opening up his own gallery, Artwear, and brought my mother into that gallery. During that time, that also gave the artists recognition and amplified their voices. They were able to have their work in stores in Boston and in California because of being in Artwear.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

We discuss: growing up in the industry (Isaac's dad is former CEO of Parlux); celebrity perfume secrets; why the best perfumes are always a little bit controversial; the viral sensation that is Melanie Martinez's Portals collection; a day in the life of a boutique fragrance house; and of course Cafe Society, and the most canonical perfumes of that era, including some very special ones from their own personal collection!

Highlights of AW24-25 collection what was interesting from Details, Style, Textures, Silhouette, Colour, Elegant and design purpose. I've been following the shows that took place from Pitti Uomo, Milan to Paris, and overall some of the looks in menswear have been very wearable but focus on textiles and textures. Tailoring is huge as it always is, but most of all, it is oversized and loose tailoring with details and sporty. Tailoring is hugely important in menswear for my menswear. I've also like to mix sporty tailoring with classic tailoring. For me, the most stand out menswear has to be the following Neil Barett, Issey Miyake, Dries Van Noton, Botter and Fear of God America Symphony collection. Have a look at them and let me know what you think?

In conversation with Aley of @wheresbambii⁠ and also A Current Affair's Arcade Shops about her journey in the vintage industry, collecting and appreciating designers like Issey Miyake, Jun Takahashi, Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo, the punk scene in Salt Lake City, the Jeffery Campbell era, her love for Anime, how she would dress her own cartoon, the future of fashion and so much more

What's up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. I'm now recovered from a life-threatening house move and Pete and I are finally taking a look at Manchester City, who might actually be in some sort of real crisis for the first time under Pep. What's up with their squad-building? Is it just injuries, or tactics too? And what are their chances for major honours? Then it's the Burn Book, with knockoffs, Rolexes, and Birks.

Japanese stylists have been making their mark on the Paris fashion scene since the 1980s, and continue to prove their mastery of the art of merging form and movement. Yohji Yamamoto, Yusuke Takahashi for CFCL, Maiko Kurogouchi and Satoshi Kondo for Issey Miyake – all these designers have a knack for taking the pulse of the planet, and, in turn, proposing new ways of dressing. We went to meet them in this edition of Fashion.

Ever wanted a peek behind the scenes of your favorite award-winning podcast? Well, hold onto your headphones, because this week we've brought our editor, Todd, in front of the mic for a change. The unsung hero of our show, we learn about Todd's unique experiences, his love for the distinct scent of black powder, and get his take on our fragrance of the day — JusBox's Black Powder. Does he find the edgy scent as rebellious as Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, which the fragrance intriguingly references? We dissect the offbeat notes of "Black Powder," probing how its scent transforms over time. From our favorite craft beers to the bustling cityscape of Seattle, our impressions of the fragrance are peppered with anecdotes, making for an engaging exploration. But we're not just about the fun and games. We tread into debate territory, questioning the use of Kurt Cobain's legacy for commercial interests. Will "Black Powder" make it to our skip, sample, or buy it list? You'll have to listen to find out!Finally, prepare to be transported down memory lane as Ryan and Todd share hilarious and heartwarming tales of their fragrance-filled escapades. From classic favorite scents like Issey Miyake and Kenneth Cole Black, to a cherished gift of Creed Aventus, their repertoire spans both affordable and aspirational. Buckle up for a rollicking ride through the world of fragrances, one whiff at a time. And remember, as we love to say, "spray it up, y'all"!Support the showLeave us a voicemail

Behind every unforgettable space and every extraordinary experience is a certain je ne sais quoi. If anyone has an idea of what exactly that is, it's the hospitality impresario and Studio 54 co-founder Ian Schrager. For more than four decades, Schrager has been a defining cultural catalyst and beacon across industries, from hotels and nightlife, to art and architecture, to fashion and food, and beyond. Since the early 1980s, Schrager has devised and developed more than 20 ahead-of-the-curve hospitality properties, including the Public hotel (2017) in New York City and the Edition line of hotels, as well as, going further back, the Morgans (1982), the Paramount (1990), the Hudson (2000), and the Gramercy Park Hotel (2006) in New York; the Mondrian (1996) in Los Angeles; the Delano (1995) in Miami; St. Martins Lane and the Sanderson (both 1998) in London; and the Clift (2000) in San Francisco. Beyond designing for mere aesthetic appreciation, Schrager cultivates places with a soul and spirit all their own.On this episode—our 100th—Schrager discusses his tried-and-true design philosophies and definition of luxury today; his admiration for the visionary thinking of Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Walt Disney; and the enduring aura of Studio 54.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:33] Ian Schrager[02:54] Morgans Hotel[02:59] Studio 54[03:02] Steve Rubell[06:26] Edition Hotels[06:33] Arne Sorenson[12:44] Public Hotels[13:03] Paramount Hotel[13:29] The Royalton[14:45] Hudson Hotel[24:37] John Pawson[26:04] The Palladium[26:05] Arata Isozaki[33:24] “Studio 54” Documentary[42:41] Enchanted Garden[50:48] Bianca Jagger[50:51] Truman Capote[50:51] Andy Warhol[50:56] Issey Miyake[53:33] Paul Goldberger[01:03:01] Paperless Post

Today, Travaulya and I chat about everything from scent preferences that make us think twice, to why Aquarius' are misunderstood (and the scents they should be wearing), to the difference between a ‘Don't Hug Me' scent vs. a ‘Leave Me Alone' scent (because they are indeed quite different), and of course, the delicate balance between intuition and knowledge when it comes to fragrance consulting.
