SYNESTHETES
This Christmas I worked with Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin on the special text for their exclusive perfume gift. Inez and Vinoodh are two of the most prolific photographers working today, and a dynamic duo who also created a son together. I met them at their son’s birthday party last year, and boom – my being tall got them talking. You never know where life may take you. The fragrance was inspired by one of Inez and Vinoodh’s photographs – ‘Kirsten 1996′, which Ben Gorham of Byredo took as inspiration for the woody, oriental scent. The perfume came in a cedar box and a pink paper, inscribed with the professional musings of yours truly.
Synesthesia, from the ancient Greek σύν (syn), “together,” and αἴσθησις (aisthēsis), “sensation,” is a neurologically based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.[1][2][3][4] People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes.
