A lot of blood has been spilled in the name of politics. American history is rife with tales of revolution, oppression, opportunism… The point being, in politics it is very important for each of us to know and reflect on our past; to remind ourselves of how we got to where we are today and to inspire us towards the future. Most importantly, to teach us respect. For even fragrance is no stranger to bloodshed and turmoil. Look no further than the history of The Spice Islands for one of many examples. Always remember the stories and never be afraid to ask questions.
