There is no doubt that many artists, musicians and perfumers have been blessed (or for many cursed) with synesthesia. Most of the people I know suffer from varying degrees and types of this experience. For these artists communicating synaesthetic impressions is more than blurring the boundaries between sight, sound, smell and taste.   Award-winning perfumer (including a Perfumed Plume 2016 for Science of Scent for CaFleureBon), synaesthete and writer Dana El Masri, does just that as she explores …" the convergence of scent, music & culture." Jazmin Saraï Ma'ré and Jazmin Saraï Nar (the Tarab Duet) are inspired by the music of two of the most revered musicians in the Arab world – the legendary Lebanese songstress, Fairuz (b. 1935) and the iconic Egyptian singer Abdel Halim Hafez (1929 – 1977).. According to Dana El Masri, the name of the line, Jazmin Saraï “…embodies the union between the queen of white flowers Jasmine and the king of musical genres Jazz, wafting through the inner walls of a Saraï, an oriental palace.   Each perfume is translated through beats, rhythm, harmony, lyrics, and tempo…a homage to the artist that inspired them." The Arabic word "tarab" (طرب) refers to how the human voice in song creates an ecstatic, rapturous and emotional connection between the performer and audience members
