A picture may be worth a thousand words, but nothing evokes the memory of a place like an aroma. We asked Chandler Burr, who organized ?The Art of Scent, 1889-2012??opening this month at New York?s Museum of Arts & Design?to describe his favorite destination-inspired fragrances, as only a curator of olfactory arts can.
