Pull out your thesaurus and moisten your quill because this week Maddie and Chloe are joined by former New York Times perfume critic Chandler Burr to discuss the language of scent. The author sat down with the Nose Candy gals to talk about (how to talk about) everything from synthetic molecules to Joan Didion to Abstract Expressionism to Yankee Candles. Looking for a perfume that smells like a David Hockney painting? What about a Laura Ashley duvet cover? Razorblade rose petals? Grab your scented notebooks fragheads because this is a lesson in perfume rhetoric with one of the best to ever do it! Want more from the writer of the New Yorker's definitive piece on scent Chandler Burr? Go run and buy "The Perfect Scent," "The Emperor of Scent" (about Luca Turin), and his novel "You or Someone Like You." Also! Get thee to Youtube to watch the 2011 BBC documentary "Perfume" which offers a window into Chandler's former life as a perfume critic in New York and constitutes one of Maddie's all time favorite films.
