Viola Wells @violasjournal is an award-winning Production Designer, writer, and Perfume Curator whose passion for fragrance has shaped her uniquely fascinating career…
Based in Hungary, Viola collaborates with museums and exhibitions to explore the intersection of scent and art history.

From memories that have inspired her, convincing directors to experience the power of scent, a history of the world’s first fragrance based in alcohol, to helping open a perfume museum and THE dream perfuming project she has in mind [my precioussssss]; what a fascinating guest Viola was. We so hope you enjoy listening!
