Fluidnotes: Gender and Fragrance

Fluidnotes: Gender and Fragrance by Annie Lee

Fluid Notes is an interactive data visualization that traces how perfume has reflected and reshaped gender norms over the past century. Using data from over 25,000 perfumes and 200 vintage ads, the project explores shifting scent trends, marketing language, and gender categories — revealing that fragrance, like gender, is fluid and evolving.
