If you love perfume or just love people really being excited and interested about things they love, this is the show for you. Emma is the perfect host for this. Charming! Funny! Asks the right questions! And the guests are great. Check this one out!

Excellent

I love this podcast. Emma is engaging and knowledgeable and pulls you into a fascinating discussion about fragrance. I enjoy thé interviews but I think I like the solo episodes more - Emma clearly has both a creative and intellectual angle on the world of scent. So glad I found this gem!
