The Taste of Aldehydes
01About me
I like smelling stuff and learning, and this website is essentially my record of combining the two. As of now, I have accrued many experiences, research hours and conversations with people who have more than dipped their toes in this industry, and since this is becoming quite a large part of my life, I wanted to make a portfolio in which I would keep a record of everything that was worth noting down. My opinions, theories and thoughts, all in one place.
02How the name came to be
While working on the website, I had a bottle of very mineralic spring water I bought as a souvenir when visiting someplace; and I was thirsty so I opened it. I put it in a big glass, put some ice in it and sipped while I coded. And it tasted like metal. If you were to bite down on metal parts fresh out of a CNC machine, then that is exactly what it tasted like; and since in perfumery, this cold metallic character can be achieved with aldehydes, I thought: why not “The Taste of Aldehydes”?
