    Ashlee Dozier’s Journey with Solo Traveling, Fine Fragrances, and Anuket Luxury Apothecary

    Ashlee Dozier’s Journey with Solo Traveling, Fine Fragrances, and Anuket Luxury Apothecary

    This episode covers Ashlee Dozier, who’s the owner of the Tampa Bay, Florida based fine fragrance company Anuket Luxury Apothecary. The company offers natural alternatives to traditional colognes and perfumes.
    .
    After leaving an abusive relationship, Ashlee set out on a four month solo backpacking trip around the world to rediscover herself. One of those stops in that journey was Egypt, where Ashlee visited a perfumery while taking a cruise down the Nile River. There she learned about the history of fragrances in Egypt, and took a strong liking to the unique qualities of Pure Papyrus Oil. After coming back to the states and realizing there was virtually no access to high quality, Pure Papyrus Oil, she worked to source the Papyrus Oil from the perfumery she visited in Egypt in order to share this unique fragrance with others.
    .
    The conversation ranges from some of the countries Ashlee visited on her four month journey, to lessons she’s learned since starting the business back in 2019, and even deadly animals and emergency preparedness gets mentioned. Ashlee also answered a series of travel-related questions that will be asked to each guest in future episodes, and her answers certainly didn’t disappoint.

Excellent podcast host

Eric and I had a really good conversation. He asked some great questions to help get the most out of our time together. ✨

Love the message of highlighting people’s journeys

It’s important to learn from other people. The only thing we can’t google right now is the story of another person! Let’s listen, learn, connect, and love each other. This podcast is a great step in that direction

Well-Researched, Yet Casual Conversation

Podcasts can sometimes feel stiff, but Juxtaposed Journeys is a nice balance of well-thought-out questions, while maintaining a casual tone of conversation. You can tell the host does his homework, and it’s appreciated from the listener standpoint. The sidebar notes provided mid-episode help if you want to do more research on the places, people, or things mentioned. This is helpful if you’re a frequent googler, but immediately forget to look up what the person just referenced. Kudos from all of us forgetful folks. I enjoy the wide variety of guests across the globe, but especially enjoy the locals.
