I’m speaking with Rémi in this episode. You may know him from TikTok, or as one of the mods for r/DIYFragrance on Reddit, or one of ten admins for something called Discord. I still need to figure out what that last one is all about. We talk about his love for insects and what he believes a tarantula would smell like.

I’m chatting with Dominique Michelle Astorino, an astrologer living in Paris with her golden retriever. Is your zodiac relevant to scent, or is this just a ploy to have you listen to our conversation that you will absolutely love?

My guest is Kyle Mott-Kannenberg of OSM perfumes. When he’s not creating fragrances for his brand, or fragrance brands for other people as Blend by OSM, he’s hoping Orville Peck (or someone on his team) is listening to this episode.

This episode features Pia Long, perfumer and co-founder of Olfiction and Boujee Bougies. We tried out new a podcast app with success, and we did our absolute best to stay on track and keep our conversation to one hour. So with that, dear listeners, please enjoy 1 hour, 1 minute, and 6 seconds of our conversation. Someday I will figure out how to bring back sounds into episodes. (But not today.)

We talk about her life in Prague, how she and Robert met, and what are some of her favorite smells then and now. (And, yes, I really do enjoy reading the second edition of “Essential Oil Safety.”)
