#7: Wildcrafting a Scent of Place with Dryland Wilds- Making natural perfumes in the desert using ancient botanical scent techniques

On this week's episode, I'm digging deeper into natural perfumery with Cebastien  Rose and Robin Moore of Dryland Wilds. I joined them on a foraging expedition to harvest Russian Olive and use the ancient technique of enfleurage to capture the scent near Ojo Caliente.  We talk natural vs synthetic perfume, saving common and invasive plants from toxic herbicide, wild skincare, harvesting sustainably and bottling the magic of New Mexico.
