In my blog on the German Parfumo, I try to draw and outline (semi-professionally) first traits of an esthetic theory of olfactory art.

Perfumery is a form of art. A very young one without big theory and science still. Some pioneers like Chandler Burr contribute to this task of the future and I´m sure in the coming years we will explore and define an esthetic theory of perfumery in the philosophical meaning.

I have hell of fun and pleasure in engaging in it and some of my modest results are worthy of being published on Parfumo, I think/hope. But I am completly incapable of translating my texts. It´s different from talking, writing a review or reading a book in English. Strained thinking and text-working in the first language are actually very hard, if not impossible to translate.

So I humbly recommend my blog entries to anyone who is interested and halfway fluent in written German. If there was another art-theory-nerd out there who would like to work with me on basis of the existing German texts, I would love to reason and transfer with him/her!
