I adore this literary, philosophical, deeply intellectual perfume podcast. It ticks all the boxes for me.
I love perfume and books so this podcast is a perfect combo of my two main passions. Clare’s guests are usually indie perfumers and other niche-interest people so sometimes the episodes fall right within my niche wheelhouse (Birds! Perfume! Art! Books!). Clare asks great questions and finds passionate people talking about interesting things.
This podcast combines two of my favourite things, so this is easily one of my favourite podcasts. When a new episode comes out, I set it aside and wait for a chunk of time where I can listen without interruption. I savour it while working in the garden or kitchen, surrounded by smells of earth and greeneries or sugar and spices. Thank you for creating this podcast.
Enjoy the small pleasures in life - books, perfume and podcasts. Such a good listen.
I love listening to people talk about fragrances and also to people discussing books - so this is the perfect pairing. What a great concept! Clare is a wonderful host and her guest are interesting and fun. Highly recommend to any fragrance and/or book lover.
