“To-day I think / Only with scents”*…
We’ve considered before smell, the unsung hero of the senses. Today, Kaja Šeruga explains how scientists using chemistry, archival records, and AI are reviving the aromas of old libraries, mummies and battlefields…
We often learn about the past visually — through oil paintings and sepia photographs, books and buildings, artifacts displayed behind glass. And sometimes we get to touch historical objects or listen to recordings. But rarely do we use our sense of smell — our oldest, most primal way of learning about the environment — to experience the distant past.
Without access to odor, “you lose that intimacy that smell brings to the interaction between us and objects,” saysanalytical chemist Matija Strlič. As lead scientist of the Heritage Science Laboratory at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and previously deputy director of the Institute for Sustainable Heritage at University College London, Strlič has devoted his career to interdisciplinary research in the field of heritage science. Much of his work focused on the preservation and reconstruction of culturally significant scents.
Reconstructed scents can enhance museum and gallery exhibits, says Inger Leemans, a cultural historian at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Smell can provide a more inviting entry point, especially for uninitiated visitors, because there’s far less formalized language for describing smell than for interpreting visual art or displays. Since there’s no “right way” of talking about scent, she says, “your own knowledge is as good as the others’.”
Despite their potential to enrich our understanding of history and art, smells are rarely conserved with the same care as buildings or archaeological artifacts. But a small group of researchers, including Strlič and Leemans, is trying to change that — combining chemistry, ethnography, history and other disciplines to document and preserve olfactory heritage…

As we take a whiff, we might recall that it was on this date in 1924 that Coco Chanel agreed with the Wertheimer brothers Pierre and Paul, directors of the perfume house Bourjois, to create a new corporate entity, Parfums Chanel, Its signature product was Chanel No. 5. She had been selling small quanitites of the scent in her boutique since 1921.
Traditionally, fragrances worn by women had fallen into two basic categories. Respectable women favored the essence of a single garden flower while sexually provocative indolic perfumes heavy with animal musk or jasmine were associated with women of the demi-monde. Chanel sought a new scent that would appeal to the flapper and celebrate the seemingly liberated feminine spirit of the 1920s. Her scent was formulated by chemist and perfumer Ernest Beaux, who designed an unprecedented olfactory architecture, a bouquet of 80 scents whose precious notes were blended with high proportions of aldehydes, organic compounds that carry a crisp, soapy, and floral citrusy scent. In late 1920, when presented with small glass vials containing sample scents numbered 1 to 5 and 20 to 24 for her assessment, she chose the fifth vial. Chanel told Beaux, “I present my dress collections on the fifth of May, the fifth month of the year and so we will let this sample number five keep the name it has already, it will bring good luck.”
The first promotion for Chanel No. 5 appeared in The New York Times on December 16, 1924– a small ad for Parfums Chanel announcing the Chanel line of fragrances available at Bonwit Teller, an upscale department store. The fragrance, of course, become a fave. An Andy Warhol subject and worn by everyone from Marilyn Monroe and Catherine Deneuve to Mad Men’s Peggy Olson, the perfume, is a foundational part of fragrance history… and still sells a bottle every 30 seconds.

55 anni dalla morte di #CocoChanel. Nel 2024 è uscita un'eccellente serie #TV intitolata "The New Look" che ipotizza una sua collaborazione coi nazisti mentre questi erano a Parigi ma, non essendo io uno storico, preferisco segnalare questo #film impreziosito dalla presenza #AudreyTautou.

CW: Famous Dead Nazis Everyone Treats As "Icons"
One of the most astonishing things about people finding out NOW that #BrigitteBardot was a dyed-in-the-wool right-wing racist is that people are asking what she did wrong, and folks are saying "Yeah well, you know...She's like #CocoChanel in that respect..."
And then people are going "WAIT BACK UP WHAT IS WRONG WITH COCO CHANEL?" and getting double-barrelled Education.

FIFTY FIFTY -- Chanelle Moon
The fortunate homophonies between a Korean name, that of Earth's natural satellite, an American given name, and the surname of the French fashion designer have come together to ensure that my Fifty Fifty bias wrecker enjoys one of the most delightfully memorable of all Kpop idol names.

80 anni fa iniziava la liberazione di Parigi dagli invasori tedeschi. Ovviamente ci sono decine di libri, documentari, film che raccontano quelle vicende. Ma anche una serie, incentrata sulla rivalità tra #ChristianDior e #CocoChanel spannometricanente tra il 1940 e il 1947, può darci una visione su ciò che significhi adattarsi o meno ad un ambiente ostile. E su quanto sia consentito mettere sul banco degli imputati un'icona nazionale, pur (quasi) un secolo dopo #TV #fashion #thenewlook

»Ich liebe das #Meer wie meine Seele«
Erholung am Meer scheint uns heute wie ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis. Dabei entdeckte man den #Strand erst im 18. Jahrhundert als Sehnsuchtsort. Manche Reiseziele inspirierten #ThomasMann, #CocoChanel und #IanFleming zu Meisterwerken.

Hubby was just watching a documentary on the falling apart of the #Biosphere2 project, and I was surprised to see a familiar face, though much younger and healthier. And I was strongly reminded of a quote attributed to #CocoChanel: "Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve." #SteveBannon

New documents surfaced in September indicating that Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel may have played a double role during World War II, serving not only as an informant for the Nazis but also as a member of the French Resistance.
But a historian has “serious doubts” about her alleged membership in La Résistance, suggesting the French fashion icon may have used the documents to restore her reputation after the war.
