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.
Thank you, as always, for being a subscriber. Your support powers my reporting, analysis, and commentary mission, and I’m deeply grateful.
Also a heartfelt thanks to the extremely kind ladies and gentlemen at La Gemma Hotel, Florence; Profumoir Firenze; Arthouse PR; and, my wonderful fellow travellers and peer mentors!
