The Empire of Scents by Kim Nguyen

Kim Nguyen's latest film "The Empire of Scents" (Le Nez) lets you delve into the world of scents and aromas. The film that's influenced by the book "Taste Buds and Molecules" by Francois Chartier hits cinemas this spring.


This work reminds me of the excellent documentary "The Nose – Searching for Blamage" (2013) about the very charismatic perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri.

The Scent of the Legend of Zelda


Gametee sells scented candles that draw inspiration from video games such as "The Legend of Zelda". The video games connection isn't that unique for Gametee whose target market is gamers:


Gametee was founded by two sisters with a life-long passion for video games. With the help of 582 inspirational Kickstarter backers who believed in our dream, we, A.J. and Lucy Hateley, were able to fund our first production run of high quality, premium t-shirts for video gamers.


Since then, Gametee has quickly grown to be the preferred choice of gamers who want to look great, feel comfortable, and wear with pride. We deeply love what we do, and we are committed to good business ethics, sustainable production, and fully supporting the gaming community.

Doritos: May Contain Traces of Rainforest

Every year, Doritos' parent company buys 427,500 tonnes of palm oil with devastating effects for the rainforest and its species:



Back in 2010, after seeing the video below, I mentioned Greenpeace's Kit Kat campaign that highlighted Nestlé's use of palm oil, a campaign that luckily went very well with Nestlé stopped using the oil.
