Listen "Smelling Trees"
Episode Synopsis
Be it Pine, Juniper or Bay - Tanin, Resin, Leaf Litter, Wood Smoke or Quinine… This episode explores the rich, invisible world of smell — and I use that word very deliberately — with my guest Frauke Galia, host of An Aromatic Life, a podcast that elevates the sense of smell in a world dominated by sight and sound.Together, we dive into how fragrance can shape identity, stir memory, and deepen emotional connection. We also talk a lot about trees — including 13 ways to smell them — and how reconnecting with the natural world through scent can be both grounding and transformative.Smell is such an evocative sense, and in this conversation, we explore how it can be a powerful form of self-expression and a bridge to the world around us.Fragrances mentioned:Go and smell your favourite tree: those mentioned are the Apple Tree and the Strawberry GumBooks mentioned: Thirteen Ways to Smell a Tree - David George Haskell Find An Aromatic Life here: Instagram: @an_aromatic_lifeWebsite/Substack:anaromaticlife.comTheme music for the show was created by Raul Sanchez I Jorge.
