Archived: Scented

This event has been cancelled.

Inspired by Laurence Fearnley’s novel Scented – a search for identity through perfume – we’ve invited local perfumer Vanessa York of York Perfumery to design five scents in response to the work of five local and international writers. Scent strips of these new creations will be passed among the audience as readings are heard from Simon Armitage (Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic); Rose Lu (All Who Live On Islands); Lawrence Patchett (The Burning River); Lani Wendt Young (Afakasi Woman); and Fearnley, interspersed with introductions to the perfumes from York herself. An aromatic feast.
