    The Art of Travel — Maserati x Acqua di Parma

    It’s 1784. England is on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution and experiencing the driest 12 months on record.

    The olfactory is perhaps our most mystical sense. Everyone has been transported or transcended to a profound place or feeling by a nostalgic scent. It’s so affecting because it is typically unannounced, always invisible and yet so psychologically tangible. Scents are also incredibly difficult to attach to other mediums, with scratch ‘n sniff still being…
