    15: Scent & Social (Im)mobility

    We often think about smell and fragrance in a vacuum; as a alternative form of self expression or beauty. But, scent is political. In this episode Sarah discusses Shivani Kapoor's writing on how Dalit autobiographies highlight smell and a critical experience that defines the caste system in India, and connect it to broader ideas of smelling "of your class". Don't worry, I of course chat about pretty smells too (perfume oils especially!) Fragrances mentioned: - Pear Inc/ JHAG - Myth/Ellis Brooklyn - 3 Fleurs, Le Cri, Vetiver Bourbon, Tabac Tabou/ Parfum d'Empire - Egyptian Musk, Sandalwood/ Nemat - O'Feminin/ M. Micallef - Yara/ Lattafa - Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere Reading: Shivani Kapoor: "Words that Smell: Caste and Odors in Hindi Dalit Autobiographies" in Aromas of Asia: Exchanges Histories, Threats.
