"Fue tal vez mi gusto por la poesía, que tiene una manera muy particular de escribirse, lo que me llevó hacia los perfumes. Me parecía que el perfume era una forma poética, una manera de decir cosas sin utilizar el lenguaje, una manera muda. El perfume es invisible. Las personas no lo ven, pero lo sienten" (Jacques Polge - Perfumero)

According to Peter Sloterdijk, the twentieth century started on a specific day and place: April 22, 1915, at Ypres in Northern France. That day, the German army used a chlorine gas meant to exterminate indiscriminately. This terror from the air inaugurated an era in which the main idea was no longer to target the enemy's body, but their environment. From then on, what would be attacked in wartime as well as in peacetime would be the very conditions necessary for life.

The smelly mystery of the human pheromone

Do our smells make us s*xy? Popular science suggests yes — pheromones send chemical signals about s*x and attraction from our armpits. But, despite what you might have heard, there is no conclusive research confirming that humans have these smell molecules. In this eye-opening talk, zoologist Tristr…
