Hi everyone, I wanted to add some extra tidbits to go along with our February book, Back in the 90s, the author Diane Ackerman teamed up with Nova to do a five-part documentary companion to the book. I just so happened to have found it on Youtube in all of its late 80s early 90s glory. And the Smell section features the renowned perfumer Sophia Grojsman. Feel free to check it out. Some of the science and market trends have changed since this came out so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

It seems those links have been taken down. On Youtube, there is still
Smell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr_Eq...
Touch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMmcu...
and Vision
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fetvU...

Taste and Hearing don't seem to have been reuploaded. You might want to check streaming sites or it looks like PBS sells copies https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/teacher...
