Have you heard about Jean Carles?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬.

This man was Anosmic!

Anosmia, also known as smell blindness, is the loss of the ability to detect one or more smells.

Anosmia may be temporary or permanent.

This guy, a master perfumer, could not smell shit.

According to the gist, only his son knew.

He still went ahead to insure his nose.

A man that knows his value.

I Stan 🙌🏼

Despite his condition, he went on to create a few fragrance masterpieces.

'Miss Dior' (Christian Dior) in 1947.

This fragrance is still relevant to date.

Over 73 years later.

He founded the  Roure Perfumery School. That school created men & women who created the best perfumes in the world till date. All best sellers and popular favourites.

E.g. Coco Chanel, Coco Mademoiselle, Bleu d Chanel, Tiffany for Men, Allure Homme, Égoiste, Poison (Dior), Paco Rabanne Homme, 5th Avenue Elizabeth Arden, YSL Opium which led to Black Opium etc.

Due to this feat, he is often compared to Beethoven, composing music in his deafness. His work is still being used to teach Perfumery till date. I can already think of a lot reasons why he should have stayed hidden.

Number 1 being, He nose was not working properly but he said "Fuck em Nostrils" Lol.

Lessons: 1. You can still create magic. Come out of yourself and think about the people whose lives will be changed if you do.

2. Write your own story, control the narrative. Only his son knew he had an issue. Be public yet private. Stay with people who will keep your secret and not ridicule you.

3. Start now. Not because of you but because those after you will make magic and your name will live forever. Right now, Listen to "Read all about it" by Emeli Sande.
