This week on World Briefing Plus, I take you on a very personal detour: how war assaults our senses—smell, sight, and sound—and how, almost by accident, I discovered a therapeutic way to mask the stench of destruction. A fragrance I created in Florence, Danza della Foresta (Forest Dance), transports me back to a place of beauty and camaraderie, even amid war’s chaos.
