Publisher Note
Air Kissing is a short essay about the way in which perfume, and our undervalued sense of smell, operate molecularly, affectively, porously, poetically and semiotically. It tells a story of intimacy and fear, pleasure and disgust, intoxication and transcendence: the story of how bodies affect and relate to one another. The essay hovers through the Bubonic plague, bioterrorism and stain-removing solutions, neuroses and blood as a love-inducing ingredient, to interrogate scent’s cultural relativity and its organic origins.
