I have always thought I had too many disparate interests. I make a living designing jewelry and making costumes for theatre. I have studied many languages for the hell of it, some useful in places I haven't yet visited. I love history, ancient and recent. I collect perfumes and teas obsessively and I apply and consume them daily, respectively. There are more. But it was in was trying to simplify these varying interests that I realized some are not so disparate after all.
Tea, wine, and perfume. No doubt wine lovers have a basis for understanding perfume. And in a recent class at New York City Wine School, the lecturer made several analogies to tea. Lovers of one can surely appreciate another. These three things are inextricably linked, I think! And there's more to go along with them.
I'm going to use this blog to casually mention the sensory liquids, and the like, that I come across, as well as the far-reaching and ancient rituals that involve them. It wont be strictly relegated to tea, wine and perfume. I want to find what bridges the gaps, blurs the lines and expands horizons.
Cheers, enjoy!
