NEW YORK -- The New York Times has restaurant, play and movie critics. Now, there's a critic to help readers navigate the fragrant world of perfume.
Chandler Burr, a magazine writer and author, will debut in the Aug. 27 issue of the newspaper's style magazine. If Burr follows in the tradition of other opinionated Times critics, perfume makers beware: scents had better be up to snuff.

Is Chandler Burr
... a him or her?
It's hard to say
... with names today.
But if it turns out he's a guy
...don't shower with him at the Y.
I was happier never knowing that existed.
I would love that gig. Think of all of the free baseball tickets that could be scored with the outbreak of mens' scents being marketed under players names.
NFL can't be far behind. The NBA I could pass on but it just might be part of the job I would have to suffer through.
NASCAR can't be far behind. I'd hold out for F-1 tickets if I could.
Sweet job.
Where do I sign up?
Could you imagine the scent, RUSH? I hope it would smell like fine cigar smoke for the day and fine cigar tobacco for the evening.
What are the odds that Chandler Burr was Pinch Sulzberger's personal beauty consultant before he was offered this important job?
I highly recommend the book. The Wikipedia article on the Vibration theory of olfaction says that there is evidence both for and against the theory. This article on Turin's theory compares the spectrographic theory of olfaction with similar theories of color vision and hearing.
My intuition is that there is not just one mechanism that explains smell. The human visual system has at least 19 distinct levels of computational transformation that convert patterns of light into recognition of objects. Smell may not be as complex, but it's probably not as simple as vibration detection.
And the stock price shows it. In fact, the stock prices bears a strong resemblance to what I reference in my tag line: a Slinky™ going down a stair.
Eau d' Wee Wee
That could be very handy ...
Chandler's written some books. Imagine that.
A Separate Creation: How Biology Makes Us Gay By Chandler Burr
"...a critic to help readers navigate the fragrant world of perfume."
Would someone explain to me how he/she will do that??That's as bad as selling perfume on those TV shopping channels!! No way I would ever buy perfume I couldn't smell. Might be stuck with "Eau de Pepe LePew"!
Yes, Virginia, Chandler Burr is gay. In fact he is supposedly a conservative gay of the log cabin variety. Is Burr one of Pinch's favorite boy toys in the NY Slimes Executive Hot Tub where these great concepts are floated up.

"By writing his letter (below), Chandler Burr emerges as Bailey's proxy and spokesman in this new controversy. Bailey likely hopes that by having a well-known gay man as his spokesman and defender, he can blunt gay criticism of his bisexuality "science".
Burr is an old-guard (Fourattist) conservative gay man who has written a series of controversy books supporting Dean Hamer's and Simon LeVay's "gay gene" theory. For that theory to be valid, there cannot be a continuum of gender or sexual orientation. Instead those men insist that gender and orientation are "bi-polar", i.e., that people are only male or female, gay or straight, with nothing in between (except "liars"). This is the ideological framework from within which their scientific attacks on the identities of transsexual women and bisexual men have arisen, for trans women and bi-men cannot exist under their theory.
Burr is an advocate and book-writing spokesman for the "gay gene" world view, and is tightly connected with LeVay, Hamer, Bailey and Blanchard. It seems likely that Benedict Carey would already have known him, since they are both visible gay men and Burr is also an "employee" of the Times (see below). Carey would almost certainly have known that Burr had sent a letter to the editors (being alerted by either Bailey or Burr), even possibly coordinating with Burr on the writing and tone of the letter and suggesting that his editors publish Burr's letter."
The elite mediot maggot owners of ABCNNBCBS and publishers of the major dinosaur fishwraps like the NY Slimes, are the modern day, Norman Bates. They are trying to keep the corpses alive by refusing to admit that they are dead and to bury them. Now the Slimes will use perfume to cover the stench of death.
Buy my Dinosaur Fishwrap NYT stock. The old gray lady is just fine, and her perfume smells great! 
"Makes one wonder how many ways perfume could be described on paper."
It will sound just like someone describing abstract art or modern architecture. A bunch of words that don't mean a thing.

"Moonlight Dip in the NYT's Executive Hot Tub where great concepts are floated up."
Pinch will be upset now!
"O-o-o-o-o, rough sex in the hot tub.
And Chandy's makeup tips are so terrific. "
