Perfumery is a wonderfully imaginative art form. Where a fashion designer can touch and see the material they shape, ensuring every detail is perfect, and an architect selects textures and materials that can be held and examined through concrete senses, a perfumer’s craft lies in the unseen. They cannot touch or see the aromas of the wide array of materials. They can only rely on their mind’s eye, envisioning how each note will come together to form a harmonious, evocative whole.
