Friends and Trends
Henna and I got together to talk about what might be trending in perfume right now, from the note "de jour" to fruit salads, and how many perfumes to release at once.
We also touch on Luca Turin's return to perfume writing.

James Elliott of Filigree & Shadow
Founder and perfumer for Seattle-based brand Filigree & Shadow, James Elliott joins me to talk self-teaching, the logistics of being a one man brand, a little politics, and plenty of name dropping, among other things.
Thank you for not swearing, James, but you really could have.
P.S. The word he was searching for was "stability".

Pia Long - Boujee Magic & Olfiction Tales
I've been wanting to have this chat with Pia ever since I met her, nearly 12 months ago.
