OMG We Should Totally Do A Podcast

Le Spider Man and His Scented Web

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.

Stargazer

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?

Everything is OSM

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.

The Devil Wore Prada

I’m talking with Kelly Jones of Kelly + Jones about her Mezcal-inspired fragrances, her work for professional fragrance companies, and why she stopped bringing sandwiches to work in Manhattan.

A Canuck, an Aussie, and a ’Murcan Walk into a Podcast

We are back with Season Three and joined by Marie (Perfumer and Creative Director) and Pep (Fragrance Evaluator) of Miskeo Parfums. We talk about how they are able to work together despite living on different continents, as well as their working styles.

Against All Odds

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.)

She Put a Spell on You

I am absolutely chuffed to have Liz Moores of Papillon Perfumes join me in this – the 13th! – episode. We talk about her love of the very best, of living in the woods, and the inspiration for her soon to be released fragrance.

The Library of Alexandre

This episode features Alexandre Helwani, perfumer *and* perfume historian. We talk about how his career began with a resin, his recent projects intertwining history, and his current work. You can follow Alexandre on Instagram at theperfumechronicles.

Czech Yourself

My extra special featured guest is Hana Tisserand. You may have heard of her husband Robert. Together they run the Tisserand Institute in Southern California, providing people all over the world with online courses in essential oil safety. 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.”)

Man Made Myth

My featured guest in this episode is Michael Nordstrand, perfumer, teacher, and multidisciplinary artist. We talk about his work as a ghost perfumer, his lectures at The Met Cloisters (and 5th Avenue!), his upcoming fragrance line Mythologist, and how he wants to help you become a better perfumer. You can follow Michael on Instagram at michaelnordstrandperfumer.
