“You, Too, Can Smell Like Vladimir Putin” | The Daily Beast
Vladislav Rikunov’s new “warm, woody scent†is the result of six months of creative observation and inspiration, the Belarusian perfumer told The Daily Beast. Rekunov’s creation, “Leader Number One†eau de toilette, was designed in Belarus, made in France, and approved by Putin himself, according to the perfume’s distributors. The fragrance is on sale in only one place: in the heart of Moscow, on Red Square.

COLLECTED SMELLS: Smell Lab Showcase
Community showcase night
20 January | 19:30
The Smell Lab is a monthly meeting space open for everybody who is interested in experimenting around the sense of smell. This night will showcase the work that has been going on in the lab so far:
Collected Smells is the first installation produced by the Smell Lab, a group of people researching the sensation and science of smell. The work consists of several smells gathered during the Smell Lab’s meetings and are derived from various locations in Berlin-Neukölln. The installation is made up of cloth sheets imbued with scents from our surroundings – the water, the soil, smoke and leaves. The work is the culmination of the lab’s explorations and is the first in a series of future projects.
You can read more about the preparation for this installation in this recent blog about the Smell Lab on DailySecret: What does Kottbusser Tor smell like? by Nika Mavrody.
This event is part of the transmediale/CTMÂ Vorspiel 2016 festival
More information about the Smell Lab is available here and on past events here. You can also join on Meetup.

In Volatile!, curator and design historian Debra Riley Parr presents a number of objects and experiences that invite speculative connections between poetry and scent including our friend & collaborator Brian Goeltzenleuchter. Continue reading Volatile!: A Poetry and Scent Exhibition
