Is the book still in print? Can I purchase one? I own several vintage bottles of JOY (and 1000) extraits... I do open and enjoy and wear them... I think that even though these two were created by different perfumers (Almerás and Kerleo), these are two of the most perfect extraits ever created!! ❤

I like how you explain the story of Ochun, Maferefún!, and Ogun , Ase’ O!Blessings!

Oh, see Mayan jaguar lily...my neice's name, Susan...😊

Fans of the Elites would have been literate too...some Dodger fans know more of Dodger lore than the current players-Dodger management maintains a museum, for fans, but players too.⚾️

One scent to rule them all!🪷enantiomers scents

I would love to Leandro mire about Joy, Jean Pateau, my signature since 1976.

It is a real gem!

Thanks so much for this amazing video! I’m super curious- why does no one think that maybe the blue lotus wine might have been a step in making blue lotus oil. The imagery you show on this looks in part like winemaking. Also flower wine was as common through history as vinus vinifera (or in the case of Egypt, muscat Alexandrie) and we know that blue lotus wine was central to Egyptian ceremonies/ parties. In the imagery it looks like those long sticks were being used to punch down the flower wine. Is there any reason we think the wine and perfume were separate? Even if heat were used and some version of rudimentary distilling happened (once you have flame it’s not so terribly hard to get the oil) fermentation is common pre distillation depending on the material. Fermented blue lotus heightens the aromatics and it leads me to think that some kind of perfume wine was happening here? Is there a reason people don’t think that it is? We know flower wine happened in Egypt- not as a tincture of wine with flowers but as a co ferment. Super curious and would love it if you have any recommendations on books to research this further. ❤

Thank you!

Fabulous! Thank you

Egyptian Language is not related to Any semetic languages. It is not because you use few semetics words that you are related. If coptic is not a semetic language, ancient Egyptian can not be semetic. The sisters are in the rest of African continent where you don’t want to look. Stop the lies please. 🙏🏿👌🏿

I would have LOVED to create perfumes ☺️🥰 I, personally, wouldn’t make perfumes in a lab until the final creation stage. First, I would be out and about smelling the real world and sniffing people (from a respectful distance, of course 😄) with a mental map of the essences I already have (or several perfume strips imbued with these essences). People don’t live in sterile labs (even the most sterile lab has its unique smell). They sweat sooner or later in the day. Their noses register the smells of the others. Imagine the simplest scenario of someone being on a date or later in the evening- if you know what I mean 😄- (in which case take into account the smell of laundry detergents and conditioners in the bedsheets). Etc. Smells are very much alive. They tell whole stories. They are emotions. Memories. Hopes and dreams.

1:37:44 😃 It’s the perfect representation of the sun (yellow centre) in the middle of the sky (blue); it opens in the morning and closes at dusk. Add to that the fact that it rises from the (primordial) water(s).

1:29:10 Conical because The Great Goose’s egg, hence rebirth symbol in funerary practices. It was a symbol of enlightenment. Oil= light=wisdom= maturity (additionally confirmed by the OPENED lotus flower)- present i other cultures, too. Status symbols? Yes. Though it’s more probable that they didn’t have the current Western mentality of envy, so more of a marker of spiritual meritocracy (either real or just desired).

59:31 The Greek mind missed the point 😆 No. It was a means to ensure group identity and cohesion. Each animal species or tribes’ literally smells in its own distinctive way. Smell is probably the most fundamental of all senses. And the most effective.

57:46 😃 The smell of eternity for the brave (soldiers). OUTSTANDING ❤

55:10 I’m not sure that the Land of the Gods is anywhere else but Thebes. Hatshepsut had to undertake that expedition. Wasn’t she the daughter of the Wandering Goddess returning from mysterious southern lands to Her Father (Amun-) Re? Like Mother, like daughter 😄

46:52 I’m not an Egyptologist, but I suspect that the actual scent was the embodiment of the name as physical manifestation and conceptual entity. The latter remained, but not the former which is the experiential bit. It wasn’t prescriptive magic, it was a love affair. The quid pro quo of the Reversal Offerings doesn’t sit well and it betrays the non- family status of the priests (be them wishful ‘kings’ or ‘queens’). Family members do not do business or try to manipulate their Family. Consider the difference between the conceptual/ ideographic- verbal and the experiential with its emotive dimension. When you go to meet the goddess you love as She is your Mother, or your Lover, or your Sister (sn/ sn.t follow the homophones 😄), it’s one thing to just say ‘I love you. Give me this and that.’ and a totally different thing to present in front of her with a nice bouquet of flowers, give her a kiss, and get inebriated by the perfume of her hair and clothes. The same with the male deities- they all smell differently and like different scents. The Ancient Egyptians were hopelessly romantic. The fact that there were more than one recipe for a single oil might be an indication that the real priests had managed to conceal the true recipes. Even if the proper recipes were found, the products would fall short, due to changes in the chemical composition of air, water, plants, and other organic compounds. The soil was smelling in a particular way. The dust smelled in a particular way. The people’s sweat was smelling differently. It’s all gone now with some very, very faint smell residues found only in certain places. Look at me, writing a lot and not knowing a single thing about Ancient Egypt! 😂 I do have a vivid imagination. And I have a big 𓂉

16:34 Sorry to ask a stupid question, but how can we be sure that the writing in ink on a piece of pottery is a jar content label and not a scribe-to-be exercise? Thanks.

I find Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, fascinating; it is no wonder that during his rule (1680-1709), and that of Tokugawa Yoshimune (1716-1751), the Tokugawa regime reached a/its Golden Age (marked by enlightened ideas/legislation, as well as a great appreciation for/interest in Japanese artistry, and literary Chinese classics).

I live on Vancouver Island where we have a lot of arbutus trees. I was struck by their scent when they bloomed in the spring: definitely methyl anthranilate heavy, lightly powdery like acetophenone, but also with a distinct "funky" and "dirty" aspect too. Not just indole, though it feels like that was in there. However, this was Arbutus menziesii, and a European text may be talking about Arbutus unedo L./strawberry tree.

Wonderful presentation thank you so much!

These were black Africans. 😊

You’re Hispanic, possibly gay, into witchcraft, supported Nazism, and lived in your parents’ basement.. not surprised you did what you did

Why did you shoot those people??

I prefer beauty to intellectual masturbation.

Fascinating! I came across this presentation after first sampling his Burvuvu fragrance and contributing a review to Fragrantica. My review attempted to go against the grain of predictive writing, remaining true to my initial perception and conveying the olfactory memories I associated with the fragrance. John's presentation here is a considered and concise account of the challenge implicit in enjoying any fragrance : simile is inadequate, adjectives exhaust us. We need to push the brain to "describe what you smell relentlessly" and trust our linguistic creativity to capture what we experienced in the moment of perception.

Fantastic research, very well done! Especially about the so-called "blue lotus"!

Thank you all for this informative interview with an inspiring artist! Happy New Year!

Interesting. Thanks.

This was super delightful to watch. I love how scent, like all art forms, can be anything to anyone.
