Iconic French perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, known as the creative force and “nose” behind Les Jardins d’Hermès, joins writers (and botany enthusiasts) John McMurtrie and Jane Marchant in conversation. Like his book, Atlas of Perfumed Botany, this discussion is sure to trace the cartography of particular fragrances, examine historical connections, and contemplate cultural exchange. Scent connoisseurs won’t want to miss master perfumer Ellena for this intimate discussion as he looks back on his influential career and considers the innovative ways perfume can influence a better understanding of our natural environment, and positive outcomes for our ecological futures.
