你好，我是Yann Vasnier，是一名调香师，我的工作是创造人们喜欢的气味。我出生在法国西部的Brittany，在巴黎郊区的凡尔赛学习调香技术，在那段期间，我开始了精品香水调香师的职业生涯。之后的10年我去了纽约工作，并有机会替许多时装设计师品牌（比如马克雅各布斯，汤米希尔菲格，维拉王等等）和一些明星进行调香的工作。

4年前我返回巴黎，在这座现代香水的诞生地，重新专注于我的工作。我的工作是为世界各地的人创造他们喜爱的香水，有些是为知名的国际品牌创作，而有些是为更有创造性与工匠精神的独立品牌。

初识Della是在纽约，我们一起为她当时任职的香氛品牌合作了一些项目。我被她独特的感官联想、敏锐的嗅觉、开阔的视野所吸引。她把这些特质充分地体现在品牌上，并且敏锐地融入调香师的创意。如今，我很高兴看到Della倾全力地把气味的专业知识和创造性思维带去了中国，并且给这个市场描绘了一幅全新的愿景。

在此，我很荣幸能介绍Della最新的创作：“气味博物馆：30种形塑文明的气味”。这个音频节目为气味世界带来了独特的视野，因为它透过了新的切入点，比如：历史，社会文化，科学，当然还有香水，让你感受世界上30种主要的气味。毫无疑问，这个节目将鼓励更多的中国人去了解气味並进而对香水产生兴趣，同时它也为香水的鉴赏带来了新的维度。

作为一名调香师，嗅觉是我生活的一部分，当然我也知道，对其他人来说，嗅觉可能并不是一种主要的感官。不过有趣的是，你不能停止呼吸与嗅闻（但是你可以停止观看，因为只要闭上眼睛就行了）。嗅觉总是和你相伴相随，尽管它似乎不被人重视…… 不过只要你愿意，你就可以去探索、欣赏、学习和发现新的气味。

作为一名调香师，我每天都在跟自己藏在脑海中、鼻子里，这些上百种的气味一起玩游戏，并且从中创造出新的香水作品。其实每一种气味，不管好坏，都可以成为灵感的来源，而且带来其它感官或情绪的体验。气味让我创造出香水，为世界各地的人们增添幸福感，而穿上香水的他们也会感觉更自信、诱人、放松、充满活力，并因此更加感谢我的创作了。

我真诚地推荐你来听Della的这档节目，用一种好玩的方式来学习知识，打开你的嗅觉感官。希望它能唤起你对气味与香水世界的好奇，并且让你更深层地理解自己的“气味敏感度”；除了探索让你感到幸福的气味与香氛产品之外，还可以把它们运用到你的日常生活中。

就像调香师需要一个一个地学习每一种调香材料一样，你也可以开始你的“气味探索之旅”，并且从中收获无穷的快乐。

这是一种特别有趣的学习方式––在取悦耳朵的同时，加深对香气的鉴赏力，并且激发你的嗅觉想象力。Della巧妙地解码我们看不见的气味…… 进入Della的《气味博物馆》，她绝对可以增长你的气味知识。

 

Bonjour, My name is Yann Vasnier and I am a perfumer, I create fragrances if you prefer. I was born in Brittany, in western France and I learnt Perfumery in Versailles, next to Paris, where I started my carrier with a focus on Fine Fragrance. I then moved to NYC for 10 years where I had the chance to work with and for many fashion designers like Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Vera Wang… and a few celebrities. I returned to Paris to re-immerse myself in the birth place of modern perfumery 4 years ago. My job is to create scents that people love around the world whether it is with major international brands, or more creative niche and artisan brands.

I had the chance to meet Della in NYC, as we were involved in some joint projects for some major fragrance brands she was serving at that time. I have always been attracted by her unique connection to the sense of smell and her brilliant vision that she was bringing to the brands and connecting them to the perfumers creations. I am thrilled that she is now putting all her expertise and creative mindset to bring new perspectives to the sense of smell in China.

It is an honour for me to introduce the latest initiative from Della. Her unique Podcast programme to be launched soon and called "The Museum of Scent: 30 scents that shape civilization" is dedicated to the sense of smell. This programme is bringing a unique perspective to the universe of scents by looking at 30 key scents through new prisms: historical, socio-cultural, scientific and of course perfumistic! No doubt that this will increase understanding and raise interest for perfumes by Chinese and bring a new dimension to the appreciation of scent.

As a perfumer I live through my sense of smell. I understand that for other people this is not an obvious sense. Interesting to note that you cannot stop breathing… and smelling (while you can decide to stop watching by closing your eyes).

Your sense of smell is always with you although it seems less developed… it is all a question of exploring, appreciating, learning and discovering new scents.

As a perfumer I am playing everyday with hundreds of scents that I have in my mind and in my nose to create new ones.

Every smell good or bad can be a source of inspiration as well as any sensorial or emotional experience. It allows me to craft fragrances that help people to feel good around the globe and bring them some extra well-being. They can feel more confident, seductive, relaxed, energised, more exuberant and more thanks to my creations.

I would really engage each of you to listen to Della’s podcast and learn in a fun way from them while opening your olfactive mind. Hopefully this programme should increase your curiosity about the world of Scents and Perfumes and push each of you to have a deeper understanding of your sense of smell, discover new fragranced products and explore new scents in your day to day life. Like a perfumer learning the raw materials one by one, you can also start to go more deeply in exploring your sense of smell and get a lot of joy from it.

It’s a supremely entertaining way to deepen your appreciation of scent, while pleasing your ears and igniting your olfactory imagination. Della does a masterful job of decoding scent… Meet her at Museum of Scent, she can literally sharpen your sense of smell!
