  • Season 7, Episode 4: Hot Milk, Midnight & Mythic Waters
    SO many scents sniffed the last few days we can barely draw breath, but buckle-up buttercups, because in this new episode we discuss…Fragrant feedback: Why listener Astrid treated herself to a bottle of @perfumerh Steam (& has now fallen madly for Lyn Harris’ style of perfumery) following our #listenerprescription in a previous episodeThe second half of Suzy’s highlights from the recent @nicheshow London, including…@fumparfum Hot Milk - steaming mug of comfort & blissful nostalgia@kajalperfumes Topaz - chewy, crystallised citrus peel with [email protected] Midnight - urban night-scapes, simmering spiced rum, twinkling stars@thegateparis Secret Encounter - A tingle of anticipation via pink pepper, ginger & tonka-smoothed amberNicola was thrilled meeting the founder of @lessoeursdenoe & went mad for the kumquat / eucalyptus vetiver smoked seduction of Bohemian AbsintheMeanwhile, Suzy’s reminiscences about her trip to Florence & @pittifragranze show Highlights (part 1)…@beaufortlondon Sirenides — the NEW release she’d been aching to try, and it floored me. Myth-wreathed in wild waters, selkies shedding their seal-skin, stolen power, then poisoning the thief to take it back. Bitter almond drips, briny rock pools gleam, sodden fur snarls as it dries. Menacing. Mesmerising. Completely unforgettable.@eaudebougie & @vallense - made Suzy so proud for the British niche scent scene@lorchestre Bouquet Encore Latte - frothy, milky, dreamy steam swirling on skin@reserve_en_afrique - Vanille Mafonja sophisticated & unsweetened; Rouge Karkade enchanted with smoky hibiscus & pomegranate. (Available @soliflore_store)@jorumstudio Unspoken Gesture was nurturing, milky, expansive & cocooning@shekorperfume unveiled a meeting of minds: @sultanpasha78 of @sultanpashaperfumes created Ashar, a monsoon-rickshaw memory where rain flows off cotton shirts with notes of petrichor, bamboo, soaked earth. & Antonio Gardoni @bogue_profumo with Sylhet — dense verdant air, humid, something furred & prowling in the undergrowth.

  • Season 7, Episode 3: Bigger Vanilla, a Brilliant Book & a New Niche Show
    The new @matierepremiereparfums Vanillas Powder extrait - Suzy is obsessed, Nicola has yet to try but is chomping at the bit. With the added guest note of tonka snd and an even greater concentration of vanilla, this is INCREDIBLE. @perfumerpia Pia Long’s book: Demo Accords A BOOK BY PERFUMER PIA LONGBOOK AND SAMPLE KIT NOW AVAILABLE TO PREORDER FOR ONE MONTH ONLY.Containing ten fully published perfume formulas, one piece of fiction and nine essays on political and personal topics, Demo Accords is a multidisciplinary collection of narratives where perfumery is part of the story and the stories are part of the perfumes.Pia says: “Completely self-published with the help of an indie press and some wonderful early supporters, we appreciate every pre-order as it will help us judge how many copies to print.”PRE-ORDER: https://demoaccords.comDemo Accords book pre-order price: £20Accords kit pre-order price: £55Book + accords kit pre-order price: £70@ifrauk Fragrance Forum: Suzy cannot WAIT to attend this facing full day of talks from world experts on our sense of smell…“IFRA UK’s annual Fragrance Forum is back this autumn and will be examining the role that the nasal microbiome and the micro-organisms found in our nose and throat play in our personal and collective health.Taking place on Thursday 16 October 2025, we would love you to join us for what is set to be another fascinating day of talks, insights and conversation, chaired by Professor Barry C Smith, Director of the Institute of Philosophy at the Centre for the Study of the Senses, and Professor Stuart Firestein from Columbia University.”Register at http://evenium.events/ff2025Tickets are £30 for a full day of fragrance talksAttending the @nicheshow in London was fascinating - some really interesting new brands there. SO many fragrances smelled, which Suzy will catch up with next time. But two of the standouts were… @ode.ona (gorgeous new brand available @gather.fragrance online niche store, & launching in 2 weeks @libertylondon & @wild_iris_perfumerie)Dawn Earth: Dawn Earth is a harmonious blend of moss and mastic, this earthy and refreshing fragrance is a bottled journey into the heart of the forest.Teapot Sonder: A toasted green tea fragrance that inspires appreciation. This woody blend of Hojicha and Guaiac Wood is your invitation to pause.Moonkissed Rhapsody: Moonkissed Rhapsody is a unisex fragrance of lavender and musk. This velvety and anchoring fragrance soothe all waves to reach calm waters within.And Suzy met the lively Nicole, founder of @galiarae - Now this is one of THE most glorious diffusers ever. First saw this featured on @blublazerguy’s Instagram, then got to see in-person at the Niche show. The artistry & attention to detail are second to none! It looks like an antique heirloom find, but the ceramic ‘matchbox’ (made in England) houses a terracotta stone you soak with their signature scented oil: an exquisite citrus-infused honeyed floral that smells of happiness. Suzy’s travelling to @pittifragranze in Florence (where she’s hoping - technology/ time notwithstanding - to record some snippets for our Patreon episode). She will return having had a thousand meetings and smelled a million new fragrances, bringing news of her faves next time we...

  • Brighton Sniffari Part 2 & Current Scent Addictions
    Nicola is currently loving: @kajalperfumes Kolada“When we radiate rays of gratitudeWe bathe in a boundless ocean of abundance.Inspired by the iconic Pina Colada, Kajal Kolada pays homage to happiness, tranquility, and exoticism. The Pina Colada conjures visions of a lush, tropical paradise, where the emerald palm leaves of coconut groves gently sway as a blissfully balmy breeze caresses them, offering momentary respite from the sultry heat. Pristine ivory sands meet shimmering aquamarine waters, seamlessly blending into pastel-colored cotton candy skies as infinite as the hopes and dreams within us all.While we may long for the euphoria of exploring distant horizons, let us not overlook the myriad of blessings that surround us in our everyday existence. When we choose to focus on being truly present in the moment, we become aware of the vast treasures that enrich our lives, allowing us to cherish what may seem to be the smallest of things. Practicing gratitude is among the most precious gifts we can bestow upon ourselves, as it leads us to the tranquil beauty of inner peace and contentment, a realm of happiness beyond compare.Kolada opens with a delightfully vibrant burst of Italian Bergamot combined with fruity notes, including Pineapple, which symbolizes prosperity and friendship. The heart notes reveal the delicate sweetness of violet, exquisitely blended with the gentle freshness of Lily of the Valley, a flower believed by many to symbolize luck, happiness, and love. As Kolada unfurls, we are greeted with an exhilarating fusion of musky warmth from Amber and Siamese Benzoin, combined with the soft, exotic creaminess of coconut milk. Coconuts represent the unity of body, mind, and spirit, which must be in harmony for spiritual growth.”AND Nicola can’t stop wearing:@clivechristianperfume E Cashmere Musk“Immerse yourself in the embrace of a fragrance that delicately envelops the senses, akin to the tender caress of cashmere on bare skin. Enter a realm where musky notes intricately weave a warm, indelible hug, creating an experience that is both calming and comforting. E Cashmere Musk is not just a fragrance it’s a journey . Envision a tranquil haven, where each note weaves a narrative of delicate touches and enduring elegance. The symphony of Baies Rose, Sichuan Pepper, and Fresh Ginger in the top notes sets the stage for an odyssey of scent—an unforgettable olfactory adventure that transcends the boundaries of time. As you delve deeper, the heart of the fragrance reveals a Fleuriste Fusion, Egyptian Jasmin, and Cashmeran. Here, the scent becomes an intricate dance, much like the delicate petals of blooming flowers, creating an atmosphere of ethereal beauty. The base notes, including Guaiacwood, Ambroxan, and Musks, form a tapestry of lasting impressions. It lingers on the skin, leaving an undeniable presence that is both subtle and captivating—a fragrance that becomes a part of you.”Suzy also adoring @amouageofficial Lustre“Radiating soft light like the gleam of a pearl, by Paul Guerlain & Julien Rasquinet, it’s made with 30% pure perfume and aged for six months with sandalwood chips in oak barrels, to add even more nuanced notes. But basically, Lustre is an incredibly soft, smooth fragrance that manages to be simultaneously feathery and creamy. It’s the iridescent gleam of a pearl’s shell, the flash of silver in a bird’s wing. Aromatic cardamom, powdery, nurturing orris, creamy sandalwood and dark vanilla slightly sweetened by toasty tonka, with a lightly smoky breeze that billows as it warms.”This week we’re mainly focusing on the ‘Brighton Sniffari Part Two’ - Suzy’s visit to independent perfume shop Wild Iris in Brighton: @wild_iris_perfumerie (run by Kate) Suzy LOVED (so many!...
