David shares his story behind El Cosmico, the perfume created for the eponymous trailer and teepee campsite in the city of Marfa, in the remote high desert of West Texas.Perfume: A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent continues until 23 Sept. #perfumepioneersPodcast produced by Jo Barratt, commissioned by Somerset House.
