March 14, 2019 at 10:28 AM The name of the new fragrance, Pyrit Ana Tra, by Olivier Durbano surprised me from the moment I first read it. If pyrite (Greek πυρίτης λίθος, literally "a stone that makes fire") or FeS2 with cubic yellow crystals is well known to me as "fool's gold," (pyrite is usually used in tourist places of the gold rushes of the past, where you can pan for gold for 5 bucks), then the othe...

September 12, 2018 at 10:52 PM There is a Fragonard Museum in Paris. It has actually nothing to do with the painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) - nor with his wife or sons, also excellent artists - except that Eugène Fuchs, who in 1926 founded the “Fragonard Perfumer” company in Grasse in the south of France, the “capital of perfume”, was an admirer of the painter, who was born in Grasse. “Fragonard” has thus production in Grasse, but also in the village of Eze (see previous post), still on the French Riviera.

August 15, 2018 at 1:00 PM While trying to make my beauty routine plastic-free, there was one thing I picked up on pretty quickly: Refillable was better than recyclable. Of course, recyclable packaging is certainly preferable to throwaway plastic, but it’s even better if you can avoid waste altogether by using products that can be refilled.In terms of sustainability, recycling is problematic. Due to the long lifespan of plastics, including those designed to be recyclable, disposing of them is difficult, and can often pla...

December 15, 2017 at 2:10 PM Earlier this week, I wrote about how literature transforms text into voice and experience — the word made flesh, basically. But the examples I used of “experience” focused, as such discussions often do, on the image: in other words, vision. And it should be obvious that embodied experience is much richer than that. Experience is tactile and spatial, mental and auditory. It’s not photography; it has a taste and a temperature.
