Nicely done. So many wonderful threads here to tug at. I love that you pointed out the realism of early perfumery. I wonder if that maps onto general realism trends in the arts (painting and literature). David Shii wrote a book about it if I remember.

That’s really interesting that Ellena saw it as a product. Different era, maybe. Maybe he read “Works of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.” That where my brain went.
