BBC WS backup Paris 15d15d Impact 4

In the late 1970s, Jean Kelleyo, president of the French Society of Perfumers, initiated the creation of a unique concept for a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of scent. He assembled a small team to realize this vision. Paul Ricard has developed a concept for a perfume museum. The museum is intended to offer an 'escape' experience for visitors. The challenge lies in recreating perfumes that no longer exist and sourcing their original ingredient lists. Understanding the past is considered for aspiring creators in the field. This involved a group of perfumers who analyzed and classified market perfumes by family, such as floral or citrus. A discussion highlighted the work of British philosopher John Austin, particularly his 1955 Harvard lectures on performativity.

I was interested because I believe that if you want to become a creator, it's important to know the past. There's just a few hurdles to overcome.
