I would like to ask the authors for confirmation (or otherwise) that E Flechier was responsible for the latest reformulation of Mitsouko and whether they think its any good? (Apologies if covered in the book.) Also - what is your favourite scent molecule/which synthetic has made the biggest impact in modern perfumery? Thinking of Iso E super and Hedione just off the top off my head. Do you think there will be a good substitute for oakmoss? Thanks. Thanks to Robin for organising this – such fun!

(E.g. Asian markets prefer lighter scents.) Thank you! Dear Mr. Turin and Ms. Sanchez,

Have you ever dreamed of a perfume, and what did it smell like? What perfume would go well with Satie (Trois Gymnopedies)? or Glenn Gould? how about Radiohead? This last question may be too personal (I guess the other ones were, too), but if not, I am very curious: what was it like to write a book with each other? Gimme dirt. Thank you - dying to get the book from Amazon. I plan to swallow it whole. And thanks to Now Smell This for hosting this interview - you guys are awesome.
