In 2001, 62 vials of perfume were recovered from the Titanic shipwreck. Neil Owen, Head of Product Safety Sciences at Givaudan, was one of the lucky few specialists (alongside esteemed perfumers Christopher Sheldrake and Mark Evans as well as a botanist) tasked with analyzing exactly what the contents of those vials were. To whom did these vials belong? Were their contents revolutionary or status quo for the times? What did they smell like? Which recovered vial did Christopher Sheldrake describe as one of the best-smelling naturals he'd ever encountered?
