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?

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.)

OMG What is this
Yes, hello. I’m your host James Elliott, perfumer and owner of Filigree & Shadow in Seattle, Washington. (I’m also a mom.) Each 1-hour episode delves into the world of perfume through various lenses of the people that make the perfume industry such a vibrant, amazing community. Join us, won’t you?
