Whether or not you consider yourself a perfume aficionado, this "olfactory discovery event" will give you something to sniff about—FREE THE NOSE centers creators, artists, and historians who work in the realm of "olfactive art" and perfume, creating space for scent-inhaling free from corporate influence. We like smelling nice stuff as much as the next person, so this is a cause we can get behind. The group's first event will invite perfume historians Barbara Herman (author of Scent & Subversion: Decoding a Century of Provocative Perfume) and JT Siems (founder and potion master at Immortal Perfumes and host of the Storical podcast) to chat fragrance. Attendees can experience 32 of the "most iconic and influential perfumes of the modern era" and partake in a perfume swap; perhaps most importantly, you'll also leave with a groovy tote bag and hand-printed perfume zine. Everyone loves a freebie. by Lindsay Costello
