There are opportunities for connection and understanding when we experience both. </h4><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, I explore with Yosh Han the profound connections between scent, literature, and cultural identity, particularly through the lens of Octavia Butler's 'Kindred'. We discuss the serendipitous journey of discovering the book, the complexities of decolonizing scent, and the spiritual and physical connections that fragrance evokes. The dialogue delves into the impact of colonialism on scent, the role of fragrance in healing, and the power of literature to foster empathy and understanding. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the intricate relationship between personal experiences, cultural contexts, and the sensory world. </p><p><br></p><p>Fragrance mentioned:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.studioscent.com/product-page/le-demimonde\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Le Demimonde - Studio Scent</a>  </p><p><a href=\"https://www.studioscent.com/the-designer\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">More on the perfumer Candice Windrow Weekly </a></p><p><br></p><p>Books mentioned: </p><p><a href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60931.Kindred\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Kindred - Octavia Butler </a></p><p><br></p><p>Find Yosh Han on </p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/scent_festival/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@scent_festival</a> , <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/eaudeyosh/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@eaudeyosh</a> , <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/scenttrunk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@scenttrunk</a> (creative director) </p><p>Website: <a href=\"https://eaudeyosh.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">eaudeyosh.com</a> , <a href=\"https://scenttrunk.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">scenttruck.com</a> , </p><p>Youtube: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBmueAE2V0gdMYuBvbOuSEQ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Scent Festival</a> </p><p>Netflix: <a href=\"https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81139212?tctx=-97%2C-97%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Human: the World Within </a></p><p><br></p><p>Theme music for the show was created by <a href=\"https://www.raulsanchezijorge.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Raul Sanchez I Jorge</a>.
