20 JUN 2024 · Join us dear listeners as we go on a fragrant adventure on the high seas (well actually the hidden canal in London's King's X). In this episode we took our little microphone on a very special day out in London. Join us onboard the Disco Volante, a beautiful narrow boat belonging to the incredible William Borrell who is the founder of @vallensefragrance. William has transformed his boat into what can only be described as a perfume lover's dream, with incredible equipment that macerates and distills wild and wonderful ingredients that William has sought out from all around the world, this boat can only be descrived as a floating laboratory. As you'll hear, the next step of William's creative process is taking his ingredients and inspiration to wonder perfumer @perfumer.pia. The results of their work together are mind blowing and the first three fragrances will be available in July. We'll also tell you about a phenomenal two hours with @rojadove and will tell you about our wonderful tea time experience. We hope you enjoy accompanying us on our scented journey.

13 JUN 2024 · This week we’ve got the scent memory of a hotel that a listener has reintroduced Nicola to; sunshine, bottled (and in a new candle), a thrilling scent safari in Paris, plus how Handel & Jimi Hendrix are united in music, place & perfume… Get ready to be whisked from sun-soaked Mediterranean islands to the coolest and most artistic Parisian niche perfume houses, then through history via two extraordinary musicians who were separated by 200 years, but changed the course of music and have now inspired two incredible fragrances. We discuss… The wonderful @cereria_molla_1899  Lemon and Cinnamon candle (best gift ever!) New @trudon Isla eau de parfum & De Oro Candle Suzy’s trip with @aspectsbeauty to Paris, which included: Visiting @constantsoniaperfumer and smelling the new @ellakparfumsparis Orchid K A masterclass with @jeroboamperfumes (Suzy adored Origino / Ambra / Boha / Unue) An afternoon spent sniffing the delights available at @jovoyparis A trip to the new @nishane.official boutique (where Suzy smelled the new Tuberóza X & fell madly for Sultan Vetiver & B-612) (Next time we’ll get into the stunning workshop experience with @alexandrejparfums for Butterfly, plus their mind-blowingly gorgeous extracts...)  Then our amazing, fully immersive breakfast at @handelandhendrixhouse where we explored the two latest @thameenfragrance Britologne Collection: Chords (inspired by Handel) and the new Bold as Love (inspired by Jimi Hendrix!)  Aghhh, we need more time! But will catch up with #perfumeprescription answers on the next episode, as well as linking to the Givaudan statement also mentioned. 

6 JUN 2024 · Suzy is on a fabulous fragrant adventure in Paris so this week we're doing a minipod where we catch up on our joint experience of the opening of the amazing new Trudon store on Monmouth Street in Covent Garden and why we're both swooning over The Experimental Perfume Club's surprising summer scent. We mention: @trudon Aphelie @experimentalperfume club Pistachio Haiku

29 MAY 2024 · This week we’re bursting with juicy newness inspired by ‘the goddess of flowers and hell’ by Boujee Bougies, an affordable niche French brand we’ve fallen madly for, Nicola’s art-infused reverie at Diptyque’s sublime new store, her personal concierge experience at Liberty’s Fragrance Lounge; and a press trip to Paris where The Harmonist matched a perfume to Suzy’s personality!  We’ve also got suggestions for a very personal #perfumeprescription question from a listener seeking scents to make sense (and celebrate) an unexpected new chapter her life has taken… We discuss: @boujeebougies Infleurno @maisonlouismarie No.13 Nouvelle Vague Maison Louis Marie No. 9 Vallée de Farney Maison Louis Marie No.2 Le Long Fond  Maison Louis Marie Antidriss Cassis @diptyque Maison Diptyque 107 New Bond Street, London. @libertylondon Fragrance Lounge  @theharmonist  You can discover your ‘element’ & fragrance suggestions on their website, too: https://www.theharmonist.com/pages/find-your-element  Suzy was ‘Yin Metal’ & chose… @theharmonist Royal Earth #perfumeprescriptions @isalarignon_parfums Isabelle Larignon Milky Dragon(All suggestions available @luckyscent in America, this one also @sainte.cellier in the U.K.)  @matierepremiere French Flower @bogue_profumo MAAIBy Antonio Gardoni (also available @slickboys in the U.K.)  @ellak Cri du Kalahari 

23 MAY 2024 · Fresh from the amazing adventures of @barnesfragrancefair, Suzy goes through the fragrances (and an incredible candle) she chose for her talk with @aliceduparcq, some of the events she attended, the amazing brands and people she met (and a few purchases she made along the way...) Nicola recounts the fabulous launch she attended (and picks which perfumes she predicts Suzy will love), her husband Chris gets emotional over Elnett hairspray, and we help a listener trying to find a long-lost love...    Suzy mentions:  @jusbox fragrances Scented Revolutions event, with the founders Chiara Valdo and Andrea Valdo interviewed by Haydn @yousmellgreatwhatisit in the @olympicstudios – with Amanda’s husband Roger Miles (who owns the Olympic Records shop opposite) choosing tracks that had been recorded at the studio, while we sniffed along. Suzy was particularly moved by the pairing of Sirens & Sailors with Joan Armatrading’s Love & Affection.   @rndl.ltd Candles & Canapes event – Suzy sadly couldn’t attend this event, but did get to taste the glorious food Jack’s brother Joe had prepared, using individual ingredients from the London Nights candle in the gastronomic extravaganza. Suzy purchased vintage perfume bottle,  @perfino aromatherapy pomander necklace, with their Breathe aromatherapy blend.  @sun.dayoflondon Afar – Suzy and Jo Fairley were obsessed by this scent!  @nancymeiland Lupin Meadow – This was the scent Suzy wore to the fair (perfect for Spring and Summer.)  For her talk, Suzy chose: @tothefairestlondon Aubine @boujeebougies  Verdant @beaufortlondon Fathom V  @ostens_official Illuminations Jasmine Candle    Alice’s list: @olfactive_o Citrus@mayanjie Tropica@gallivant.stories Nida@rndl.ltd London Nights candle  Nicola talks about her favourite fragrances from the @omanluxury launch – she adored Paramor, and thinks Suzy will love Dejan.  #perfumeprescription answers: @hermes L'Ombre des Merveilles @mabelle_orama Lunar Dust 

16 MAY 2024 · We are still somewhat giddy from the @fragrancefoundationuk Jasmine Awards, and in this episode we give you all the goss, tell you about the fragrances we chose to wear (and why), and how Suzy almost missed going up on stage to collect our award!  We also dig into the extremely generous goody bag, and talk about the @sunnamusk scent that was included in it. Plus, there’s news of a delicious new @juliettehasagun fragrance and your #perfumeprescriptions answered… We mention: @sunnamusk Abid Ambre  @juliettehasagun Juliette  @sanajardin Vanilla Nomad  @parlemoideparfums Milky Musk  @edenisteparfum Vanille Irrésistible  @parfumsdemarly Althäir @chloe Nomade  @chloe Nomade Naturelle Eau de Parfum @chloe Nomade Nuit d’Egypte

8 MAY 2024 · We are finding beauty in life with this week’s fragrance launch discussions (and there’s MUCH to admire). Swooning over the new Chanel, having heart eye emoji face for the new Celine, we’re also living out our fragrant literary fantasies via the new Miller Harris duo, and in raptures over the Argentinan niche house now available from @sainte.cellier in the U.K.  We must admit to being so engrossed in our reviews, and sharing scent reveries, that we didn’t make it to the listener questions this week. Oops! Worry not, we will be prioritising the remaining #perfumeprescriptions in the next episode. Until then, sit back, relax, and allow yourself to dream of these…  @chanelofficial Les Exclusifs Comète @celine Zouzou  @millerharris Soufflot @millerharris Celadon  @frassai Verano Porteño @frassai Cuir Pampas @borntostandout.official Sin & Pleasure  

1 MAY 2024 · Oooh there’s a wealth of wonderful new fragrance launches to rejoice in this week (yes, MORE!) Steady yourself for osmanthus-infused Oolong tea, joyful Art Deco-inspired butterflies, vintage-style mementos; and some seriously grown-up fruitiness via light-filled, Champagne-bubbled, wickedly peach-y and “marmalade made from sunshine” (Suzy’s description) varieties.  We both admitted to feeling a bit glum and exhausted prior to recording this, but as we know - fragrance has the power to slice through sadness and revivify flagging spirits… and we definitely left the virtual studio feeling brighter, energised, and just BETTER for sharing our fragrant news. We hope you feel the same, as you listen! ️  We discuss… @akrofragrances Infuse  @alexandrejparfums Butterfly @jomalonelondon Scented Mementos  @moltonbrown Sunlit Clementine & Vetiver @nestfragrances Lychee Rose @houseofsarahbaker Peach’s Revenge  @parfumsdemarly Perseus  @matierepremiereparfums Vanilla Powder @kilianparis Sunkissed Goddess And in answer to a listener’s #perfumeprescription: @histoiredeparfums1889 Moulin RougeThis is Not a Blue Bottle 1/.1Encens Roi1804 [Their flagship Paris boutique is located at 11 rue du Roi Doré in the Marais district.] @binetpapillonparfumsNo.1 Alkemist PepperNo.9 Patchouli MonarqueNo.15 Jungle TobaccoNo.18 Santal Tintoretto [Paris showroom-boutique: 2 Galeroe Vivienne, 5 Rue de la Banque, 75002 Paris.Subway: Bourse, Chatelet, Palais-Royal.]

25 APR 2024 · The second @barnesfragrancefair is coming to London on Saturday May 18, 2024 and on this week’s episode we welcome the founder & organiser, Amanda Carr from @wewearperfume, and Haydn @yousmellgreatwhatisit (who is hosting two music & fragrance sessions) to discuss the many amazing niche brands / talks, workshops and why YOU need to be there! Here’s why: A FREE to enter fair with wares from some of the greatest independent fragrance houses, including: @gallivant.stories @nancymeiland @tothefairestlondon @mayanjie @aspectsbeauty @perfinouk @olfactive_o @sun.dayoflondon @4160tuesdays @boujeebougies @angelaflanders @and_fragrance @jusboxperfumes @beaufortlondon @ostens_official @rndl.ltd @altraprofuture @walesperfumery @early_modern Meet the perfumers / founders in person Fascinating talks, immersive workshops, sip & sniff events with wine, canapés, music & more [ticketed / paid for individually - BOOK NOW as many sold out already!!!] Generous goody bags for talks provided by @kga_beauty_pr / goody bags for Olympic Studio sessions by @profilepr Stalls loaded with fragrant treats, the quality and likes of which you will not find anywhere else all together Opportunities to learn, make your own fragrance, meet fellow enthusiasts, and most of all have a huge amount of FUN! Last year’s fair was abuzz with people from all areas of the fragrance industry, along with fragrance obsessives and members of the public who’d perhaps never smelled scents from an independent house before (and had their minds BLOWN!) A lot of stalls completely sold out of stock during last year’s fair, and the talks got booked up early, too… BOOK TICKETS via @barnesfragrancefair website (links in our stories / events highlights @onthescentpodcast) Hope to see some of you at Suzy’s talk with @aliceduparcq **2:30pm** - and cannot WAIT to see and sniff everything at the fair! #barnesfragrancefair #nichefragrance #indiebrands #barnes #londonevents #booktickets #fragranceblogger #fragfam #fragrance #perfume
