Luca Turin's Secret of Scent & Vibration theory of olfaction
-
For anyone interested in fragrance, scent and olfaction, I highly reccomend Luca Turin's Secret of Scent series on Vimeo. It's a 10 hour lecture series on the evolution of fragrance and Turin's vibrational theory of olfaction. It's like $1. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/297742

@skylark That sounds really interesting.
Luca Turin, perfume specialist, has very good videos on the internet. One on pharmacology. He's talking about antidepressant drugs in that case, but his main interest is in olfaction. I think that along with Heraclitus who talks about the "nose essences" as being at the center of consciousness, really the olfactory system is closely connected with our highest and best conceptual work.

I’ve been wanting to get into fragrances, I’m assuming this would be a good place to start? Thanks

@donovan I think so. The series goes into dozens of the main compounds used in the fragrance industry, the history behind them and features a favourite fragrance of Turin's at the start of each ep. Turin's got a serious reputation as a fragrance critic but I don't entirely agree with his judgements.

@skylark very interesting will check it out. Thanks
