The processes of reconnecting with self, self-actualization through scent and archetypal tropes in texts
In this episode, we are joined by Pep, also known as The Scentinel, a prominent figure in the Australian fragrance community. Since 2017, Pep has captivated audiences with his deep-seated love for perfumes, particularly those crafted by niche and independent perfumers. Through the lens of archetypes, personal odysseys, and folklore, we are set to uncover the layers of meaning embedded within the fragrances we wear. Prepare for an enriching conversation that transcends the boundaries of scent and narrative, as we unravel the tapestry of individual experiences and universal symbols.
