Advertise on podcast: OMG We Should Totally Do A Podcast

Was our card the Eight of Wands? Rashunda and I talked about the parallel tracks of Tarot and perfumery. Downright uncanny, if you ask us.

Heather is the founder and owner of Cold Frame Perfumery. We talked about her moving from Chicago to Versailles to attend ISIPCA, and her plans to open a parfumerie in France that highlights independent perfumers. What, like it’s hard?

Brooke is the founder and owner of Sainte Cellier in London. We talked about how she curates the perfumes in her studio, and our choices when it comes to everyday language in perfume appreciation and collection.

Mandy Aftel is a preeminent artisan perfumer, educator, curator, and author on natural fragrance and flavour. In 2017, she created the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents in Berkeley, California — the first museum in the U.S. dedicated to the history and experience of natural fragrance, showcasing her collection of one-of-a-kind-antique artifacts. Did we cover it all of this in one hour? Listen and find out.

I am joined by Clara Weale of Early Modern Perfumes, the creator of Celadon: a perfume so utterly unique in its take on “green,” that it stops people every time they smell it in my studio. We talk about her fragrance collection, living in Glasgow, and our shared love for Tilda.

George Chlouk makes the most gorgeous fragrances you can’t get your hands on. We talk about his life in Beirut, creating tinctures for other perfumers, and why he doesn’t want to smell like stew ingredients. Be sure to follow his account @intuitive_alchemy_ on TikTok and Instagram to experience his world of perfume.

My guest is Eudora Nwasike, a Fragrance Foundation UK certified fragrance specialist who helps individuals and business owners find that special something in a fragrance. How does she do it? Listen and learn, children. Listen and learn.

Fatima Muhammed is my guest in this episode, and she is the Owner and Creative Director of kaer. We talk about her path to launching her business, her discovery set of perfume oils (that are honestly beautiful), and why TikTok is a great selling platform.

I’m speaking with Rémi in this episode. You may know him from TikTok, or as one of the mods for r/DIYFragrance on Reddit, or one of ten admins for something called Discord. I still need to figure out what that last one is all about. We talk about his love for insects and what he believes a tarantula would smell like.

I’m chatting with Dominique Michelle Astorino, an astrologer living in Paris with her golden retriever. Is your zodiac relevant to scent, or is this just a ploy to have you listen to our conversation that you will absolutely love?

My guest is Kyle Mott-Kannenberg of OSM perfumes. When he’s not creating fragrances for his brand, or fragrance brands for other people as Blend by OSM, he’s hoping Orville Peck (or someone on his team) is listening to this episode.

I’m talking with Kelly Jones of Kelly + Jones about her Mezcal-inspired fragrances, her work for professional fragrance companies, and why she stopped bringing sandwiches to work in Manhattan.

We are back with Season Three and joined by Marie (Perfumer and Creative Director) and Pep (Fragrance Evaluator) of Miskeo Parfums. We talk about how they are able to work together despite living on different continents, as well as their working styles.

This episode features Pia Long, perfumer and co-founder of Olfiction and Boujee Bougies. We tried out new a podcast app with success, and we did our absolute best to stay on track and keep our conversation to one hour. So with that, dear listeners, please enjoy 1 hour, 1 minute, and 6 seconds of our conversation. Someday I will figure out how to bring back sounds into episodes. (But not today.)

I am absolutely chuffed to have Liz Moores of Papillon Perfumes join me in this – the 13th! – episode. We talk about her love of the very best, of living in the woods, and the inspiration for her soon to be released fragrance.
