The first gourmand: Brillat-Savarin – an 18th Century chemist who knew you are what you eat (and smell!) - The Perfume Society
Long before ‘gourmand’ foodie-inspired fragrances were even dreamed of...

グルマンフレグランスの起源について。
寝る前は甘めの香りがいいんだけど、最近日中はハーブ・グリーン系がしっくり来るようになった。…普通かw

epicure

意味 [C] (かたく) (特に繊細な感覚を持った) 美食家, 食通, グルメ (gourmet); (飲食物にぜいたくな) 快楽主義者.

‘Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.’ So said Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, 1755-1826, a French lawyer and politician whom, apart from law, studied chemistry and medicine, and eventually gained fame as an epicure and gastronome.

ふおー!これ有名な言葉じゃん!手帳にメモっとこ。

leap

意味 (理論· 想像力の) 飛躍

Previously considered the least important of the senses – indeed, smell remains the least scientifically explored, though technology is making huge leaps in our understanding – Savarin proclaimed that, ’The sense of smell, like a faithful counsellor, foretells its character.’

確かに嗅覚は死に直結しない…でもQOLを大きく左右するから重要よね。

voluptuous

意味 〈人· 生活などが〉肉欲にふける, 酒色に溺れる.

‘Those who have been too long at their labor, who have drunk too long at the cup of voluptuousness, who feel they have become temporarily inhumane, who are tormented by their families, who find life sad and love ephemeral… they should all eat chocolate and they will be comforted.’

甘いもの=幸せって刷り込みがあるから、食べずに香りをかぐだけでも癒やされるのほんとすごい。

temptation

意味 [C]誘惑するもの, 魅力的なもの

Wise words, indeed. We plan to enjoy all the sweet temptations that come our way, in scent form and in chocolate. Talk about having your cake and wearing it, too!
