  • American Enterprise in the 19Th Century
    ANTH318 Nautical Archaeology of the Americas Class 24 th American Enterprise in the 19 Century Introduction During the 1800s, millions of Europeans made the New World their new homeland, and brought the technological revolution going on in Europe to America. In the beginning of the century, immigrants sailed in wooden ships that would take from 4 to 12 weeks to cover the distance between the two continents. By the end of the century, there were regular packet lines, and immense steam ships covered that distance in 5 days. Transatlantic telegraphic cables provided almost instantaneous inter-continental communications. During this time, the American merchant fleet sailed all the world's seas in search of new markets and products. Importing pepper, tea, silk, coffee, porcelain, fur, leather, wood, ivory, spices, iron, textiles, gum copal, and slaves, and exporting fish, lumber, textiles and leather goods, American ships crossed all the seas and helped to complete mapping the planet. The New England whaling fleet discovered more than 400 islands in the Pacific Ocean. Centered in New England in the beginning of the century, the American shipbuilding industry gained such a fine reputation that ships would be purchased with their cargo in foreign ports. Coastal trade During the 18th century, the coastal trade was carried on by sloops, ketches, and small square-rigged vessels. In the 19th century this trade, and some of the long sea trade, would be carried on two- masted schooners. The fore-and-aft rig was more weatherly, allowing better sailing angles into the wind, and required smaller crews since the sails were operated from the deck rather than aloft.

This water is very useful for travellers in an emergency; and if you are in such a situation and have to cut one of the stalks at the base with your machete, you may additionally enjoy a refreshing green and somewhat floral scent. It is said that a traveller in need, standing in front of the tree and making a wish, will have this wish fulfilled.

    Portfolio Portfolio Feature Feature NOTES FROM THE PERFUME INDUSTRY Olivier Pescheux Givaudan perfumer A Creations: 34 boulevard Saint Germain Diptyque, Amber Sky Ex Nihilo, Arpege Pour Homme Lanvin, 1 Million Paco Rabanne, Balmain Homme Pierre Balmain, Higher Christan Dior ESQ: In hindsight, do you find that trends, current events or cultural movements have an impact on your creations? OLIVIER PESCHEUX: It’s hard to answer with certainty. Nevertheless, perfumers are like sponges absorbing the air of time (Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps is one of the most accurate names you can find). Hence every societal movement leaves its mark on creations, in a more or less obvious way. It’s still too early to know in IN what ways the current health crisis will leave its mark in perfume, but it will leave its mark, that’s for sure. ESQ: Do you attribute gender to certain notes and raw materials? OLIVIER PESCHEUX : Not really, but it’s true that I perceive rose as rather feminine simply because it has been used a lot THE and in significant quantities in women’s fragrances in the West. That’s less true in the Middle East, where the rose also perfumes men. Lavender is rather masculine as it’s used a lot in fougère, the favourite family of men’s fragrances. It’s interesting to note that in Brazil, lavender is also feminine. So it’s more of a cultural affair. Yann Vasnier I’m trying to fight against this natural and cultural leaning, and on Givaudan perfumer the contrary, I use this challenge to fuel my creativity.

  • The Fragrance Industry Urges Governments to Recognize Essential
    IFRA statement – 23 March 2020 The fragrance industry urges governments to recognize essential role of sector in fight against coronavirus Key role in supply chain qualifies fragrance manufacturing as ‘critical infrastructure’ The global fragrance industry calls on governments to include factories manufacturing fragrance as ‘critical infrastructure’ or ‘essential business’ in combating the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and therefore exempt these facilities from measures that would restrict access to employees and close operations. The fragrance industry, represented by The International Fragrance Association, highlights the following needs being met by the industry during this pandemic, which cannot be done remotely, and which require the day-to-day presence of specialist personnel: ≡ Fragrance companies are producing essential components for sanitary, hygiene and disinfecting products, which are recognized as vital products in combating viral pathogens. The presence of fragrance in cleaning products, soaps and other essential personal care items has been shown to encourage product use, therefore maintaining good cleanliness and hygiene – which are crucial in slowing the spread of the virus. Interrupting fragrance manufacturing at this time would cut the supply chain to producers of finished goods, reducing supply when demand has dramatically increased. ≡ Many fragrance companies are manufacturing hydroalcoholic gels that supply hospitals, pharmacies, care facilities for the elderly and other premises. These gels are a key tool in combating the transmission of the virus, especially in situations where vulnerable people may be exposed to it. ≡ Many factories have closely connected fragrance and flavor operations, the latter being vital in securing the food supply chain and considered as critical infrastructure. IFRA and its members call on governments to ensure that fragrance manufacturing, as part of the chemical industry, is recognised as a key element of the supply chain for essential items.
