Life choices can be reflected in the narratives we create, But we can change the narrative at any time.This conversation features Diane Risopoulos, a perfumery apprentice in Rome and a graduate of the 5eme Sens school in Grasse. She also is the author of the blog Pixidis Perfumes. We talk about how literature and perfume connect, focusing on how scents trigger memories and emotions. Diane collaborates with the Aromata Prize, a new perfume competition in Rome that celebrates perfume as an art and explores its ties to literature. We also discuss the philosophical ideas of choices and fate in both stories and fragrances. The speakers share personal stories about their perfume journeys, the challenges of training in perfumery during the COVID pandemic, and how scent enriches storytelling.Fragrance mentioned:White Whale - Christian Alori for Masque MilanoComedia Di Mezza Estate - Edoardo Tacconi for Ateneo dell'OlfattoJasmin et Cigarette - Etat Libre d’OrangeLa Rose Jacqueminot - CotyShalimar - GuerlainNo.5 - Chanel Apres l'Ondee (After the Rain Shower) - GuerlainThe Nightingale’s Cup - Cult of Scent No. 19 - Chanel Infusion d'Iris - PradaBook mentioned:Life After Life - Kate AtkinsonPoem mentioned:Demain dès l'aube (Tomorrow At Dawn) - Victor Hugo Find Diane onInstagram: @pixidisperfumes Website: www.pixidisperfumes.comFind Aromata onInstagram: @aromata2024Website: liberostile.org/en/aromata/Theme music for the show was created by Raul Sanchez I Jorge.
