I'm peeling back the centuries to uncover a surprising and sensual truth: those ancient Greek and Roman statues weren't just meant to be seen - they were meant to be smelled!

From goddess figures anointed with rose-scented oils to the political myth of white marble, I'm diving into a sensory world lost to time. Join me as I explore the fragrant, colorful reality of classical art - and why history tried so hard to whitewash it.

Trust me, this is one olfactory journey you won't want to miss!

Are. You. Ready?
