The most famous perfume in the world, Chanel No. 5, is celebrating its one-hundredth anniversary in 2021. This feels like the perfect moment for a discussion of No. 5’s complex history and persistent mythology. I’m grateful to the Institute for Art and Olfaction for providing such an appropriate online venue!

You can find details and registration information here, on Eventbrite. I hope to see a few of you on the 5th!
