Who is the book for? So I had two types of reader in mind and throughout the writing process was constantly testing myself against both (in my head) (I'll be 39, but I've started rounding up) Because I'm nearly 40 and haven't learnt basic life skills. What housework are you doing?Ī whole weekend's worth of washing up. Okay, first question. Who is the book for? This may be sporadic as I'm also attempting to do the house work (!)… I caught up with Lizzie, via IM, to find out more.īasenotes has connected. Perfume – A Century of Scent tells the story of 100 different fragrances, ten from each decade from the 1900's to the 1990's. Oh, and she's also found the time to write a book. In the time I've known her, Lizzie (or Odette Toilette as she is also known) has hosted (seemingly) hundreds of perfume events, combined poetry and perfume, launched a pot pourri, judged the Jasmine Awards, project managed the fragrances for an exhibition at the Tate, co-hosted a scented podcast, and helped develop ODE, a device which uses odour to help people with dementia remember mealtimes. I was unable to make it, so we arranged to meet up for lunch. I had received an email from her about some perfume event she was hosting, and she had asked if I would like to come. I first met Lizzie Ostrom just over five years ago.
