In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we explore how specific smells have been linked to specific geographies, cultures, and mythologies for thousands of years. Today, we hear from Saskia Wilson-Brown about fragrance, power, and the power of scent.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
