Detroit Evening Report: Revisiting scent docent Terees Western, events and more

Over the holidays, we’re sharing some of the stories Detroit Evening Report hosts produced for the radio this year. Today we hear a story from Sascha Raiyn.  

Terees Western is an artisan perfumer and owner of the business FragranTed. Sascha Raiyn spoke to her about her work and about one title she uses, “scent docent.”

Western says she explains the experience of scent the way a docent at the DIA might explain a work of art.
