  • Fave perfume podcast

    This podcast is both pure pleasure and serious education about the industry. I could, and do, listen to Emma for hours a day while I work through the back catalogue (highly recommend). Emma is so authentically curious and also deeply knowledgable, funny, and just a sparkly delight.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

225. JASMINA AGANOVIC [Future Society] ~ Is this the end of deodorant as we know it?! (oh and big huge personal announcement!)
Q: How do you translate cloud and rain data into a tangible fragrance concept?
We sequence the genomes of microbes found in clouds and rain to identify volatile compounds. Then perfumers interpret this data, selecting aldehydes and other molecules to craft emotional, sparkling effects that reflect the data rather than aiming for literal replication, with the perfumer's artistry leading the final scent.
225. JASMINA AGANOVIC [Future Society] ~ Is this the end of deodorant as we know it?! (oh and big huge personal announcement!)
Q: What is Base Scent and how does it differ from a traditional fragrance or deodorant?
Base Scent is a scent care treatment, an unscented spray that highlights and enhances a person's neutral and positive odorant molecules. It's not intended to replace all personal scent but to balance malodorous compounds and allow the wearer's natural scent to shine, potentially reducing the need for deodorants.
221. Chloe Coover [NOSE CANDY POD] ~ What a *Perfume Shop Girl* Wants.
Q: So first, what are you wearing? Fragrance wise, of course.
Chloe wears Flower Glyph by Liis, describing its childlike flower drawing concept and its grassy, ink-like, pollen notes, finding it joyful and fitting for the moment.
219. CAROLINE FABRIGAS [Scent Marketing Inc.] ~ The woman who made ‘Bougie Hotel-Lobby Smell’ a thing.
Q: What does a brand's DNA look like when translated into scent for a space?
We analyze brand DNA in depth, then propose a range of submissions that reflect the brand's cues—colors, sounds, textures, language—and test how these translate into scent in real spaces to create an immediate, cohesive impression.
218. FUNMI MONET [Influxious] ~ Selling out Sephora...in 6 hours.
Q: What are you wearing today, fragrance-wise?
Funmi explains she's wearing Gold Standard for a boost during content shoots, highlighting how it works as a 'Friday fragrance' and how it complements her work cadence. Emma notes it's a favorite in the current lineup and discusses the ginger-amber profile and its unique balance.
