modern olfactory art and modern natural perfumery were also invented in the US
anyways (I say this as someone who is deeply critical of the united states government, military, unchecked capitalism, police, etc) I am SICK of people treating america as if it has no cultural value or positives so….. I love u 85 million acres (bigger than italy) of national parks. I love u harlem renaissance. I love u groundhogs day. I love u sweet tea and fried chicken and jambalaya. I love u apple cider donuts and maizes on crisp autumn days. I love u 95k miles of coastlines and new england fisherman and hand knitted sweaters. I love u halloween where millions of people dress up and give candy to strangers and carve jack o’lanterns. I love u small talk and small towns and potlucks and bringing over casseroles to your struggling neighbors. I love u cowboys and ranch hands and arizonian cactus. I love u appalachian trail and dirtbikes and divebars. I love u sparklers and fireflies. I love u mark twain and toni morrison and emily dickinson and henry david thoreau. I love u rock n roll i love u bluegrass and hippies i love u jimi hendrix and nirvana and CCR and janis joplin. I love u victorian houses and jonny appleseed and john henry and mothman and bigfoot. I love u foggy days in the pacific northwest and neon signs and roadside attractions. I love u baseball and 1950s diners and soft serve. I love u native american art and pop art and poptarts. I love u blue jeans and barbecues and jazz musicians
#folks had the audacity to say 'screw you generations of Grasse perfumers'#and just did their own thing#like the scent of freshly fallen snow#or burning leaves#or old libraries#all kinds of bizarre things#some tried to recreate modern formulas with old-fashioned natural materials#that's like baroque or foxtrot covers of rock songs#changed world perfumery for the better#we have tiny niche one-person perfume brands all over the world now#with actually good perfumes (I'm not talking about the chakra-unscrewing oil mixes. I mean actual art)#it even influenced big companies' style#and perfume-making education is now more accessible#it all happened without the world really talking about it#but if you noticed that in the last 10-20 years people started to wear weird and beautiful scents tailored to their personality#smoke or seaweed or tomato leaves#and not LOOK AT ME I'M A GORGEOUS WOMAN scents#thank the US perfumers for that#I love you christopher brosius#I love you mandy aftel#I love you josh lobb#perfumery
