  1. Smell as a First Language with Master Perfumer Sonia Constant

    Smell as a First Language with Master Perfumer Sonia Constant

    Sonia Constant is a Master Perfumer working at Givaudan and is the nose behind bestselling fragrances for brands such as Thierry Mugler, Tom Ford, and Narciso Rodriguez. She's also the only female Master Perfumer to have her own fragrance brand - the remarkable Ella K. Ella K puts travel at the centre of its storytelling, with a fictional heroin traversing the globe to capture olfactory landscapes (using Givaudan's ScentTrek technology) and turning them into perfumes. In the season finale of Season 2, I speak with Sonia all about her creative process and how it differs when creating for her own brand in comparison to creating for others. I also share some of my favourite fragrance launches for 2025. You can find out more about Ella K on the brand's website: https://www.ellakparfums.com/en Follow the brand on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellakparfumsparis/ Sonia's emotional connection scent is Féminité du Bois by Serge Lutens. The three fragrances I talk about as my favourites of the year are: Amouage Purpose 50, Jil Sander Smoke, and Horace L'etiquette. --- This episode of Making Scents Make Sense is sponsored by Kaorium.

Her adoration for vintage fragrances has really informed the style of fragrances she creates alongside perfumer Antoine Lie for her brand ERIS Parfums.

In this episode Barbara and I talk about her love for vintage scent, her creative partnership with Antoine Lie, and how perfume can be political.

    Bringing Technology Into the Consumer Conversation with KAORIUM CEO Ben Janoušek

    With 8,000+ fragrance launches per year, consumers have never had so much choice.

    Dive Deep Into the Olfactive Imagination with Goldfield & Banks Australia Brand Founder Dimitri Weber

    Dimitri Weber is not your typical fragrance brand founder. Born in Belgium, he worked in the fragrance industry at brands like Cartier and YSL before finding himself making a home all the way down under in Australia. For his brand, the unique Goldfield & Banks, it's the natural botanicals of the Australian continent that form his inspiration. In this episode Dimitri and I chat all about his adopted home and how its flora and fauna, which often feel alien and unique, serve as constant inspiration. We also chat about the brand's most recent launch, the delightfully rich, powdery and textural Tales of Amber, and how he and perfumer Suzy le Helley dove deep into their olfactive imagination to reimagine the scent of New Zealand ambergris. You can find out more about Dimitri and Goldfield & Banks on the brand's website: https://www.goldfieldandbanks.com/ Follow the brand on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goldfield_and_banks_australia/ Dimitri's emotional connection scents are Acqua di Parma (assorted), Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens, Eau Sauvage by Dior, and Eau Dynamisante by Clarins. --- This episode of Making Scents Make Sense is sponsored by Kaorium.
