In this episode, we analyze the perfume category called "Aromatic Fougère" in order to illustrate the aesthetic of "Qualiacore" in its myriad manifestations. We define the Qualiacore Aesthetic as the practice and aspiration to describe experiences in new, meaningful, and non-trivial ways that are illuminating for our understanding of the nature of consciousness. We also discuss the art of perfumery in light of QRI's 8 models of art, focusing on how the Qualiacore Aesthetic can be used to communicate information about worthwhile qualia.
