In case you missed it, fragrance expert Luca Turin was on BBC Radio recently presenting a selection of music that he associated with his favourite scents. It’s well worth a listen to hear his unique perspective as both a perfume critic and a scientist, and is available on catch up here. Luca, along with Tania Sanchez is the author of the must-have fragrance bible Perfumes: The A-Z Guide (if you don’t have this, put it on your Christmas list right now. It’s such a brilliant read).
