  • Great podcast very honest and funny

    Has been a joy to listen to listen to over the years, I feel like the format is constantly changing though with the episode themes and chats. I really like the beauty news piece but not sure on the faves each week…

    I hope this pod gets dome great partnerships this year and a live event too maybe!

  • Good news / bad news

    Hi Nicola , love your podcast

    Have you tried the Kayali perfumes?

    She’s the sister of the founder of Huda Beauty .

    The fragrances will surprise you , they’re gorgeous….

    The bad news is that yesterday I learned fragrances (even the expensive ones) are neurotoxins and have a bad effect on brain cells and hormones 😢😢😢😢

    I’m a fragrance lover like yourself but I’m taking it easy now…

    💕🥂

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch - An Incredible Fragrant Friendship
Q: How do you approach an exclusive launch like Harrods, and how has that shaped your work?
The Harrods launch was crafted as a narrative extension of their shared world, with multiple windows and a tribute-themed packaging. It required patience, selective timing, and a commitment to quality and storytelling over rapid expansion, reinforcing their philosophy of deliberate, meaningful releases.
Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch - An Incredible Fragrant Friendship
Q: What makes your collaboration unique in the world of fragrance?
The relationship is built on deep mutual respect and a balance between ego and cooperation. Quentin's ability to translate Marc-Antoine's vision into scent, while Marc-Antoine respects the perfumer's creative autonomy, creates perfumes that feel both personal and universal, with memories and storytelling at the core.
Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch - An Incredible Fragrant Friendship
Q: How did your partnership begin, and what was the first real sign you could work so well together?
We discovered a shared language through a mutual tasting exercise—smelling materials and describing emotions— which quickly revealed aligned tastes and a natural fit for collaboration, with high levels of trust and freedom to express. This laid the foundation for a long-term artistic partnership.
The Outspoken Review - Your Beauty Questions Answered
Q: What about the new tubing mascara Rum and how does it perform?
Rum tubing mascara delivers a hard-to-remove wear that's great for everyday use, provides good coverage, and is easy to remove with water, though it's not a dramatic option and should be replaced roughly every six months.
The Outspoken Review - Your Beauty Questions Answered
Q: Are you still using Clearer (tretinoin) and how are you applying it?
Yes, I'm still using it, but I apply it selectively to areas I want to improve, layering with a hydrating serum and a simple ceramide moisturizer to avoid redness while still seeing pigmentation improvements.
