▶️ JOURNEY OF SCENT is a sensory adventure, a brand new six-part online video series produced by @fourplait for @radionewzealand , with funding from @nz_on_air .

This new concept invites viewers into the typically heavily guarded world of perfumery through the eyes of two rebels in the scent space in Aotearoa, Nathan Taare (Ngāti Porou) @huttlyfe / @ofbody.nz and Whitney Steel (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Te Ātiawa) @perfumedwhitney .

In each episode, Nathan is tasked by Whitney with crafting a bespoke scent for a unique client. Each scent, for a well-known figure in Aotearoa, is informed by their life, memories, emotions and taste. This season’s clients include artists Te Rongo Kirkwood, Troy Kingi and Ana Scotney, acclaimed poet Tayi Tibble, award-winning chef Kia Kanuta, and te reo Māori expert Dr Anaha Hiini.

These intimate creative briefs take Nathan out of the lab and across the motu, anchoring each episode in a specific place, story and cultural context. He is then challenged and probed by Whitney to make it the best it can be.

Watch Episode 1 from Monday 10th Nov and the following 5 will be released over two weeks. Available at www.rnz.co.nz/video

A massive thank you to everyone who made this possible. Huge efforts behind the scenes to bring this to fruition!

NEW | "We're tamariki of the ngāwhā and the freshwater lakes... when I do get a whiff of that sulphur... It's who I am. I'm a true-blue Rotorua boy."

The latest episode of Journey of Scent features Te Reo Māori expert Dr Anaha Hiini/@anahangrace (Ngāti Tarāwhai, Te Arawa), who calls sulphur and steam the scent of home. Watch now at the link in bio.

Whitney Steel/@perfumedwhitney (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Te Ātiawa) tasks Nathan Taare/@huttlyfe (Ngāti Porou) with creating something that honours Anaha's varied interests.

Can Nathan strike a balance between creativity and wearability in this unusual Rotorua-inspired scent?

He visits Justin Te Hau at Te Puia to learn more about the geothermal possibilities.

Take a peek into the typically guarded world of perfumery through the eyes of two rebels in the scent space in Aotearoa.
