Did you know that in Europe, perfume copyright laws protect and regulate the right of the nose? 

With cool collaborative campaigns, limited edition releases, and the cultural commentary to accompany, there is something quite magical at work within the business of perfumery. If you are interested in today’s climate of perfume making, check out Monocle’s short documentary, Making Scents, focused on industry epicenter, the town of Grasse in the South of France. There, the centuries-old alchemical art form is kept by hundreds of expert guardians.
