The scents of the season will be the focus of a pop-up event at Source Booksellers this weekend.
Terees Western is a “scent docent,” artisan perfumer and the owner of FragranTed. She says she explains the cultural, historical and emotional experience of scent the way a docent in a museum might explain a work of art.
Saturday, December 20 from 2-4 p.m. at Source Booksellers, Western will offer visitors a chance to craft a personal holiday scent.
She spoke to WDET’s Sascha Raiyn about the scents of the holidays and winter, and the event.
