Catherine Haley Epstein • My Nose Made Me Do It:

reframing scent in service of creativity

Thursday, June 15, 2023

Join us Thursday, June 15 us as we welcome back local perfumer, author, artist, and provocateur Catherine Haley Epstein for a night of scent exploration and discussion around the principle concepts of her book Nose Dive. We don't want to give too much away, but we will say- get ready to go outside the box with how you think about your sense of smell!

Catherine Haley Epstein is an artist and writer who began creating olfactory work in 2011. Her work has been favorably reviewed by Luca Turin, and she has been a panelist on American Perfumery at Esxence in Milan, Italy.  Catherine published the book Nose Dive in 2017 as an invitation to use scent in creative practices. She founded the Odorbet in 2020 and continues to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects involving scent through Mindmarrow®.  She founded Carnet® in 2020 to house her candles, perfumes, and apothecary for purchase by the general public. Catherine is a member of the Perfumery Code of Ethics, and supports the movement of creativity, trust, and respect in perfumery. Catherine sees scent as the serious nuance and play missing so deeply from the collective conscience.

Catherine's book Nose Dive is a broad introduction to olfactory culture meant for artists or anyone curious about the power of scent. Something is in the air with respect to our most powerful and least regarded sense. This book demystifies the world of scent, provides springboards for further study, and presents exercises for shifting gears with your nose. A must-read for anyone intrigued by the superpower right under our noses.
