This is not a perfume

Some perfumers have fought all their lives to have their work recognized as art. Others, on the contrary, put themselves at the service of a lucrative business. How can we approach this composite thing that is perfume, the fruit of the minds of those who create it and the fantasized projection of those who want it? We approach the question from a philosophical, aesthetic, historical, legal and, of course, artistic point of view - because the world of art, most often intended only for our eyes and ears, is also in love with power emotional sense of smell.
