  • An absolute joy

    I’ve been listening to Perfume Room for since 2022 and it is one of the podcasts I look forward to the most. Get ready to embark on an olfactive journey and learn about the stories, inspirations, and artistic visions behind the world of fragrance. Emma is an excellent host and attentive interviewer who knows how to ask the right questions and keep the conversation both technically interesting and broadly relatable. Plus, Emma runs an incredible Smell Club (it’s like book club but for fragrance!)... more

  • Delightful, accessible, and educational :)

    Can’t believe I’ve never written a review, but I first started listening to Emma during the pandemic and found the podcast SO comforting and delightful. Despite being accessible and fun I’ve learned so much about fragrance from Emma’s interviewing and narrative skill. Highly recommend for perfume novices and experts alike :)

  • Come for the Perfume, Stay for Emma

    Love this podcast. Emma is a first-rate interviewer—curious, informed, and genuinely great at what she does. If you’re someone who judges a podcast in a nanosecond based on the host’s voice (guilty!), give this one a real listen. I wasn’t instantly pulled in, but now I adore everything about Emma & the show. Settle in & enjoy!
