We’re marking the first weekend in October with a viewing poll, which we haven’t done in the past couple years. Coming up soon: the fall reading poll (on the 18th) and the splitmeet (on 1 November).
So, the “visual media” version of our fall reading poll. Tell us…
…what fragrance you’re wearing today?
…any great tv shows or movies you’ve discovered recently, and/or
…anything else fun you’ve been streaming (exercise videos? cat videos? anything),
Or, as always, just talk about something else…

Mark (Tim Heidecker), a frustrated playwright grappling with creative stagnation, discovers an unusual escape from his current reality — huffing perfume to evoke vivid memories of his Italian summer vacation. What begins as nostalgic reminiscence quickly spirals into obsession as Mark becomes consumed by the sensory high of the past, neglecting his current life and relationships. His desperate quest leads him to seek help from an eccentric perfumer (Kevin Kline), who bursts into spontaneous song while concocting custom scents in his lab, pushing Mark further into his fragrant fantasies.

The idea is to “understand how a house like Dior creates a perfume,” said director Matthieu Menu, who came up with the idea after speaking with Olivier Bialobos, Dior deputy managing director in charge of global communication and image. “It is to understand how many people, how much time it takes to build [a perfume]. Each time we shot, I understood something [new].”
Menu was interviewed with Kurkdjian by WWD Thursday evening, just before the premiere at the Grand Rex, where spectators were provided with six scent strips to sniff at specific moments during the hour-long film.

We skipped this poll last year, and I’m happy to skip the visual media polls altogether if nobody cares, do please comment yay or nay? Coming soon: the swapmeet, on 15 April, followed by the spring reading poll on 6 May and the splitmeet on 20 May.
For now, tell us…
…what fragrance you’re wearing today?
…any great tv shows or movies you’ve discovered recently, and/or
…anything else fun you’ve been streaming (exercise videos? music? anything),
Or, as always, just talk about something else….
