    160. [RENAUD SALMON] If Not Amouage, Then Who?

    Amouage Chief Creative Officer Renaud Salmon joins me in the Perfume Room this week. When he took the post in 2019, his mission was clear: make Amouage the best, most iconic fragrance brand in the world. (You know, easy.) We discuss how he’s endeavored to do just that; the rich fragrance culture in Oman; what daily life there looks like for him and his family; and the memories, people, and inspirations that fuel his creative vision. Plus, we dive into the brand new Essences collection and get an exclusive preview of some upcoming 2025 launches. And trust me, they are GOOD.

    154. [FLAVORIST(!) JOAN HARVEY] A Journey to Flavortown!

    Finally, a flavorist has entered the Perfume Room! Joan Harvey, Bell Flavors & Fragrances General Manager and R+D Senior Vice President, is this week's guest! Why do certain flavor profiles become gold standards and who are these alleged flavor canons (think: the Chanel No. 5s or Santal 33s of the flavor world)? How is flavor made? How do flavorists train? Did flavorists have anything to do with the rise of gourmand perfumes? Has perfume permeated the flavor world similarly? FIND OUT TODAY! And bonus points if you can guess the one product that is always created in tandem by both a perfumer AND a flavorist. 🤝 SUBSCRIBE: perfumeroom.substack.com FOLLOW PERFUME ROOM: @perfumeroompod
