Sweat Scent



You too can smell like Fear. or Rain. Or, er, Lawn.

Eva Wiseman
Sunday May 13, 2007
The Observer

We have smelled fear, and it's really rather nice. Norwegian scent artist (or 'olfactivist') Sissel Tolaas created nine perfumes (including S&M Guy and Guy No.3) from the sweat of men who suffer from chronic fear. She collected their perspiration when they were at their most nervous - on a busy train for instance, or, in the case of S&M Guy, at a fetish club. The men sent their samples to her lab (funded by the company that creates scents for Calvin Klein and Prada) where she rendered them, to be smelled, scratch-and-sniff style, as art.

The exhibition, in Kansas, was the culmination of years of research - after completing degrees in chemistry, art, language and maths, Tolaas, 45, travelled the world sampling dirt, toys and overripe bananas to create a scent gallery of almost 7,000 smells, working with companies like Ikea to add a scent to their brand. Perhaps that's where she first sniffed scared men. She's currently collaborating with Vogue photographer Nick Knight's online fashion empire SHOWstudio to create a fragrance on the internet. Yes, the internet. This is the sharp end of a smell trend, where ladies are at last choosing to smell of 'stuff' rather than celebrities.

We're leaving JLo, Jade, Britney and the Beckhams on the shelves, reaching instead for Marc Jacobs' Cucumber, Rain and Orange scents (£39 for a generous 300ml). One sniff of Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely and most of you, we reckon, would choose to swiftly spritz on the Fear.

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to
start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Today, I went to the beach with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her
ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I
had to tell someone!

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Firefox. Outstanding Blog!

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having
a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% sure.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download
it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would
really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you
got your theme. Many thanks

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.

I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for novice blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.
