The Art of Natural Perfumery with Mandy Aftel
\u201cEvery culture in history has used natural scented materials for the most important things in life\u2014eating, praying, making love, being buried,\u201d says psychotherapist turned natural perfumer Mandy Aftel, in this fascinating interview. The founder of the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents, in Berkley, California, is here to celebrate the release of her latest book, The Museum of Scent, by sharing a few of her stories. She tells us about the time she taught Apple\u2019s Jony Ive natural perfumery; how she scented Leonard Cohen\u2019s funeral; why oud is misunderstood; the controversial story of ambergris; the backstory of a rare gardenia extract from Tahiti; and so much more. We\u2019re calling it now: This is a Fat Mascara classic. Enjoy!
