  • One of my favorite smell-centric podcasts

    Perfume Room is accesible, informative and always entertaining. With time it has become one of my go-to sources for all things smell-related. Emma's passion for perfume is the real thread that pulls together an incredible mix of interviews from perfume legends, experimental creators and unexpected enthusiasts, creating a diverse and never boring birds-eye view of perfume present, past and future.

  • 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.

  • A great way to learn about olfaction.

    The format is deceptive: at the first listen, Emma’s demeanour and voice suggests levity and inclusiveness, which is all true. But the conversations she teases, supports and otherwise invites is exceptionally valuable for me. I’m an aspiring perfumer: and learning the equivalent of “how to walk” and understand the world at a deeper level with my nose.

    I had to be out of town last week for a gruelling presentation. On my trip, I listened to Christopher Sheldrake’s interview which was incredibly... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

212. THE MASTER OF FLOWERS: Dominique Ropion!
Q: What would you say is your signature?
He candidly says he has no idea about a personal signature, explaining that his approach is to develop a coherent accord system rather than chase a fixed personal motif.
212. THE MASTER OF FLOWERS: Dominique Ropion!
Q: What do you smell like today?
He notes he didn't test but mentions a light wood note on the skin, illustrating how ongoing perfumery experiments often involve subtle scent explorations rather than bold personal declarations.
213. SEBASTIAN JARA ~ A NICHE PERFUME CONVENTION IS COMING TO SF!?
Q: What made you create Scentfest, and what is Scentfest?
Scentfest is the first consumer-focused fragrance experience, a trade-show-like event where enthusiasts can sample, discover, and buy a wide range of fragrances from many brands in one place, with additional programming like panels and Scent Sessions.
211. DR. RACHEL HERZ (Neuroscientist & Smell Expert) ~ Single? Let your nose pick your partner.
Q: What is the science behind why we find certain scents appealing or not?
Differences in olfactory receptors between individuals, combined with personal memories and associations, create highly subjective scent preferences, so two people can smell the same fragrance very differently based on biology and life experiences.
210. SONIA CONSTANT [Givaudan Sr. Perfumer + Ella K Founder] ~ The Real Life Ella K.
Q: What is your guiding principle as mentor to younger perfumers?
Her core teaching is 'less is more'—strip away unnecessary ingredients to reveal a clear, strong fragrance message, and then creatively add elements that don't yet exist.
