Tuesday, 23 June 2026   A summary of Matthew Chapter 20.   Chapter 17 revealed that there is a future for Israel in God's redemptive plans. The main message of Chapter 18 was that childlike faith is required to enter into the kingdom. The final parable, that of the wicked servant, dealt with Israel's rejection of Christ's fulfillment of the law, showing that they would be delivered up until they entered the New Covenant. Chapter 19 took the reader through various topics to reveal what God prioritizes. The contrasts between law and faith were seen throughout the chapter.   Chapter 20 began with a parable based on Peter's question that came toward the end of Chapter 19, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?” (Matthew 19:27). Jesus mentioned what would happen in the regeneration, meaning during the millennium, when the Son of Man would sit on the throne of His glory along with those who would sit judging the twelve tribes of Israel. The chapter closed out with Jesus' words of verse 30, “But many who are first will be last and the last first.”   That is what precipitated the parable of the workers in the field. Those who came last during the dispensation of the law would be the first to enter into the New Covenant, receiving grace, while those throughout the dispensation of the law had to labor.   Immediately after that parable, it noted that Jesus was going up to Jerusalem (Foundation of Peace). He took His twelve disciples aside to tell them about His coming passion. The place known as the Foundation of Peace would be where peace is realized through Christ's accomplishment of His work.   Immediately following those three verses, it noted that the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him. Rather than their names being stated, it called them “Zebedee's sons”. Zebedee is from the Hebrew Zebadyah (translated as Zebadiah). That is from zabad to confer or bestow, and the shortened form of Yehovah, Yah. The name means Yah Has Bestowed (Given).   Their mother's request was that Jesus would grant that her two sons would sit at Jesus' left and right in His kingdom. Ironically, she was asking the Lord incarnate to bestow upon Zebedee's (Yah Has Bestowed) sons what she requested. His answer was that it was not His to give. Instead, it was for those whom His Father had prepared.   As noted at the time, this does not mean that Jesus isn't God, but that His humanity had to complete His mission before the Father, through Him, could make such a grant. That discourse ended with the words, “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).   The punning continued with that statement because Jesus is the fulfillment of the name Yah Has Bestowed. Despite this truth, there is an order and a propriety in all things pertaining to God. Each step in the redemptive process must be completed before the next step can be taken or before the next allowance can come to pass.   With that matter settled, the final section concerning the blind men was given. That began with, “Now as they went out of Jericho.” Jericho is Place of Fragrance. Typologically, it signifies the surety of heaven. Matthew, unlike Mark and Luke, notes that there were two blind men sitting by the road. Two is the number of division or difference. Whereas one precludes the thought of another, two signifies that there is another.   As this occurred while Jesus was going out of Jericho on His way to Jerusalem, it can be deduced that this refers to the surety of heaven (Jericho) for those who follow Christ to where He establishes peace (Jerusalem). Their cry was to the “Lord, Son of David.” They have recognized Him as the fulfillment of the messianic promises. Because there are two in Matthew's gospel, the number of division and difference, it can be assumed that this typologically refers to Jews and Gentiles who were previously blind, but who come to the realization that Jesus is the Christ.   They have heard the word that Jesus is passing, they have asked for their sight to be restored, and He touched their eyes, and they were restored. With that accomplished, it says that they followed Him. It is thus an anticipatory note of salvation by grace through faith based on the completed work of Christ. With that complete, the surety of heaven is realized.   The physical blindness is used as a picture of the spiritual blindness that infects all humanity and which is corrected by faith in the completed work of Jesus.   Life application: Chapter 20 is a chapter filled with hints of the transition from the dispensation of the law to the dispensation of grace. It deals with order and propriety concerning each step of the redemptive process to ensure that nothing is dealt with until the previous steps are completed.   The words from Jesus to the sons of Zebedee about being great in the kingdom show that greatness in God's redemptive process is not based on ruling over others, but rather serving others, Jesus being the example par excellence of that concept. He is the quintessential Servant to humanity, having given His life as a ransom for many.   To procure the blessings of heaven, God has made faith in what He has done the necessary condition. Nothing more can be added to it, and without meeting that one condition, there is no chance of obtaining access. These are the precious details of this wonderful chapter of Matthew.   Lord God, thank You for the incredible details that are tucked away in Your word. We are the recipients of Your wisdom and favor when we pick it up, read it, and consider its contents. Thank You for the innumerable mysteries You have allowed us to see within it. Thank You for this precious word that tells us of our wonderful Savior, Jesus. Amen.   Matthew 20   20 Like, for, it is the ‘kingdom, the heavens': man, housemaster, who he exited concurrently early to hire toilers into ‘vineyard, his'. 2Having also harmonized with the toilers from ‘denarius, the day,' he sent them into the ‘vineyard, his'. 3And having exited about the third hour, he saw others having stood in the market, inactive. 4And to them, he said, “You go, also you, into the vineyard, and whatever if it should be righteous, I will give you.” And these, they departed. 5Again, having exited around ‘sixth and ninth hour', he did likewise. 6Around, also, the eleventh hour, having exited, he found others having stood inactive. And he says to them, “Why, here, you ‘having stood all the day' inactive?” 7They say to him, “Because no one, us, he hired.” He says to them, “You go, also you, into the vineyard, and the ‘if it should be righteous', you will take.”   8Evening, also, having become, he says, the ‘lord, the vineyard' to ‘commissioner, his', ‘You call the toilers, and you pay them the reward, having commenced from the last unto the first.' 9Having come, also, those about the eleventh hour, they took each – denarius. 10Having come, also, the first, they deemed that more, they will take, and they took, also themselves, each – denarius. 11Having taken, also, they grumbled against the housemaster. 12Saying that “These, the last, one hour they made, and equal, them, to us, you made those who were bearing the burden of the day and the blaze.” 13The ‘also answering one of them', he said, ‘Scammer! Not I wrong you! Not for a denarius, you harmonized me? 14You bear the ‘yours', and you go! I will, also, this: the last to give as also you. 15Or not it permits me, what I will to do in ‘these, mine'? Or the ‘eye, you' evil, it is, because I – good, I am? 16Thus, they will be the last, first, and the first, last. Many, then, they are called; few, also, selected.'   17And ascending, the ‘Jesus to Jerusalem', He took twelve disciples apart alone, and in the road, He said to them, 18You behold! We ascend to Jerusalem, and the ‘Son, the Man', He will be surrendered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will sentence Him – death, 19and they will surrender Him to the Gentiles unto the ‘mock, and flog, and crucify', and the third day, He will rise up.   20Then she approached Him, the mother – the ‘sons, Zebedee', with the ‘sons, hers', worshipping and asking something from Him.   21The ‘Also He said' to her, “What do you desire?”   She says to Him, “You said that they might sit, these, the ‘two sons of mine,' one from ‘rights, You', and one from ‘lefts, You', in the ‘kingdom, Yours'.”   22Answering, also, Jesus, He said, “Not you have known what you ask! Are you able to drink the cup, the ‘I, I am about to drink,' or the immersion, the ‘I, I am immersed' to be immersed?”   They say to Him, “We are able.”   23And He says to them, ‘The ‘indeed, ‘cup, Mine',' you will drink, and the immersion, the ‘I, I am immersed' you will be immersed. The, also, to sit from ‘rights, Me', and from ‘lefts, Me', not it is Mine – these to give, but those it has been prepared under the ‘Father, Mine'.'   24And having heard, the ten, they outraged about the two brothers. 25The ‘also Jesus having summoned them', He said, “You have known that the ‘rulers, the nations' they subjugate them, and the greats, they dominate them.” 26Not thus, also, it will be in you, but whoever if he wills in you to ‘great, become', let him be your attendant. 27And whoever, if he wills in you to be first, let him be your slave. 28Just as the ‘Son, the Man', not He came to be attended to but to attend, and give the ‘soul, His' – ransom for many.   29And they, proceeding from Jericho, it followed Him, ‘crowd, great'. 30And you behold! Two ‘blind' sitting beside the road, having heard that Jesus, He passes, they croaked, saying, ‘You compassionate us, Lord, ‘Son, David'!'   31The ‘also crowd', it admonished them that they should mute. The ‘also greater they croaked', saying, “You compassionate us, Lord, ‘Son, David'!”   32And having stood, Jesus, He vocalized to them, and He said, ‘What you ‘will' I should do to you?'   33They say to Him, ‘Lord, that they might be opened the ‘eyes, ours'.' 34Having gut-wrenched, also Jesus, He touched the ‘eyes, theirs', and immediately they up-looked, their ‘the eyes', and they followed Him.  

Most people choose a perfume. Elise Wilson chooses a version of herself. As a beauty editor and lifelong fragrance lover, Elise has built a scent wardrobe for every part of her life. There's a fragrance for work, a fragrance for date night, a fragrance for the gym, and even fragrances that are now permanently tied to specific chapters, relationships and memories. In this episode, Bahar and Elise explore the role perfume plays in confidence, self-expression and daily rituals. From growing up watching her mother apply Chanel and Estée Lauder fragrances, to discovering the scents that make her feel powerful, attractive, joyful or completely herself, Elise shares the deeply personal ways fragrance has shaped her life. Together they discuss scent wardrobes, layering rituals, fragrance compliments, luxury versus dupes, and the perfumes they continue to treasure long after trends have come and gone. This is a conversation about perfume not as a beauty product, but as a daily act of becoming. Key Takeaways Fragrance is often our strongest connection to memory and emotion. Many of our earliest beauty memories are linked to the scents worn by our mothers and grandmothers. Building a fragrance wardrobe allows scent to support different moods, occasions and identities. Fragrance can become a powerful confidence ritual before stepping into the world. Nostalgia can be triggered instantly through scent, both positively and negatively. Signature fragrances become part of how others remember us. Luxury fragrance remains one of the most personal forms of self-expression.

In John 12:1–11, Jesus returns to Bethany, where Lazarus is alive, Martha is serving, and Mary pours out costly perfume at the feet of Jesus. Her worship was pure, costly, broken, poured out, and it filled the house with fragrance.But not everyone celebrated her offering. Judas criticized what he could not understand, calling her worship wasteful. Jesus defended Mary and revealed that her extravagant act was preparing Him for burial.This message, “The Fragrance That Fills the House,” calls us to examine the worship we bring to Jesus. Is it convenient, controlled, and consumer-driven, or is it costly, surrendered, and poured out in love?When Jesus is truly treasured, worship changes the atmosphere.Scripture: John 12:1–11Series: The SourceSpeaker: Pastor Josh BrownChurch: Overflow ChurchSupport the show

At the top, a spicy spark of ginger and cinnamon bark is delicately dusted with saffron. Then, the floral heart of iris unfolds, echoing the intimate caress of fabric against the skin, enveloped in vanilla, tonka bean, and the profound warmth of benzoin tears. In the base, sandalwood and musks carry and extend the trail with gentle intensity. Like a precious thread of silk, Stellar Silk lays a veil of sensuality across the skin. A fragrance of passion, it radiates as a luminous halo, balancing depth and lightness to create an enduring, timeless elegance. Around the silk, a universe of luxury emerges, defined by a noble material exploring with subtlety the porous boundaries between masculine and feminine wardrobes. The softness and delicacy of the fabric flirt with the sensuality of evening gowns, evoking Haute Couture silhouettes where creative freedom blurs boundaries, reminiscent of designs by Yves Saint Laurent or Valentino Garavani. In the airy, whispering rustle of muslin, an ode rises to the preciousness of a millennia-old material, noble and treasured.'BDK Silver Ceremony‘Silver Ceremony is conceived in resonance with the precious radiance of sequins. At the top, bergamot, green mandarin, and lemon illuminate the fragrance as light strikes metal, sparkling with a crystalline, vibrant, almost icy freshness, heightened by the spicy brilliance of ginger and pink pepper. In the base, woody notes unfold, dominated by cedar, set with patchouli and oud, and faceted with the amber nuances of labdanum. A textured creation, rich in energy and vibration, where freshness accentuates depth and warmth anchors luminosity. Constructed like an architectural masterpiece in which movement and stillness coexist, it is at once solid and fluid. Like a luminous, shimmering, ethereal garment, Silver Ceremony reveals itself as a fragrance with an electric, magnetic, incisive, and radiant signature. In the 1960s, when Paco Rabanne was celebrated as a metallurgist, he boldly wove metal into his creations, sculpting dresses with the precision of an architect.

Dominating with majesty is a dark, enveloping oud wood. At the top, the fresh, citrusy brightness of bergamot is enlivened by the juicy, succulent sweetness of frosted pineapple, while a subtle veil of incense and saffron whispers through the composition. The exquisite floral heart unfolds as a precious trio of roses, two essences and an absolute, imbuing the composition with elegance and depth. The warm base marries shadowy oud with cocoa, creating an arrangement rich in intensity and sumptuous voluptuousness. Sensuality blossoms among a woody warmth, nuanced with subtle restraint. Its assertive character is sculpted by the animalic accents revealed through the potent olfactory presence of oud essence. Complex and surprising, Oud Paradisio is a nocturnal perfume steeped in mystery. In fashion, leather claims its nobility without forsaking its innate animality, which imparts strength and commanding presence. Designers have challenged leather, shaping it into a second skin, Claude Montana in the 1980s with exaggerated shoulders crafted for fearless, audacious personalities. More recently, Rick Owens has celebrated this material with brilliance, transgressing its codes with boldness, even a hint of provocation. Animalistic by nature, leather embodies strength, power, and confidence.'Atelier Rebul Istanbul‘Discover the hidden scents of Istanbul with this eau de parfum.

Wednesday, 17 June 2026   Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. Matthew 20:29   “And they, proceeding from Jericho, it followed Him, ‘crowd, great'.” (CG)   In the previous verse, Jesus explained that He did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. The narrative continues, saying, “And they, proceeding from Jericho.”   This is the first mention of Hiericho, Jericho, in the New Testament. Depending on the root of the name, it has two possible meanings: Place of Fragrance or Place of the Moon. The account says that they, meaning Jesus and the disciples, were proceeding from Jericho.   This has caused a great deal of difficulty based on the words of Luke 18, where it says, “He was coming near Jericho” when the account occurred. This should not be a problem. The accounts can be reconciled by understanding the full picture.   Jesus is nearing Jericho (Luke 18:35). A blind man sat by the road begging. As Jesus approached, he heard the multitude. It does not say where he is, just that he heard the multitude as they were passing (meaning him) by (Luke 18:26). He asked what was going on and heard it was Jesus who was coming. He starts to cry out, having no idea where Jesus is, just that He is coming. People tell him to be quiet. It then happens that as Jesus and His disciples are on their way out of Jericho, the multitude followed Him (Matthew 20:29). It is at this time that Jesus will heal the blind. This is why it says in Luke 19:1, “And having entered, He traversed the ‘Jericho'” (CG).   The assumption people make from Luke's account is that the blind were on the entrance side of Jericho. But that is only an assumption. Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. The blind would have heard the commotion from the very beginning of the ruckus as the entire city went out to see Jesus. The perspectives are given by each gospel writer:   Luke says He was coming near Jericho. Mark says they came to Jericho. Matthew says they were proceeding from Jericho.   Luke records the beginning of the encounter as Jesus approached Jericho: the blind man heard the crowd and began crying out. Matthew and Mark record the point at which the healing is associated with Jesus' departure from Jericho. Whether the cry began on the approach and culminated near the departure, or whether the locality of Jericho is being described from different sides of the city/region, the accounts need not contradict. Luke 19:1 confirms that Jesus entered and passed through Jericho in connection with the same movement, so the event belongs to the whole Jericho passage, not necessarily to a single frozen instant at one gate.   When Jesus got to the other side of Jericho as He passed through, He would have come to where the blind man was (while exiting the city), and the two parties would have finally met. It is Luke 19:1 that solves this otherwise difficult and wholly misunderstood situation. Since the beginning, excuses have been made to justify the event. To read some of them, go to the Pulpit Commentary on Matthew 20:29.   The problem is that at times, the gospels present information categorically rather than chronologically. However, it is evident throughout the gospels that this is not the case. Unless something is described with a time marker, there is no reason to assume the information is chronological instead of categorical.   We tend to assume that everything happened all at once when reading the accounts, but the man is blind. He would not have gotten up and gone to the other side of Jericho. He would have sat and called out, hoping someone would assist him. But the accounts all say otherwise, saying to him that he should be quiet. As such, “he cried out all the more” (Luke 18:39 et al.).   To “hear” and to “be present with” are not the same things for a blind person as they are for the seeing. The people would have flocked to Jesus as He entered. The blind would have sat in misery-filled anticipation until Jesus finally exited. Understanding this “supposed” discrepancy, it next says, “it followed Him, ‘crowd, great'.”   This would include those who travelled with Jesus, those who met up with Him on His nearing Jericho, and those who were in Jericho who flocked to Him.   Life application: There are other supposed contradictions in Jesus' movements as He traveled from the Galilee to and through Jericho. Some were mentioned in earlier commentaries. There are also supposed contradictions in the account of the healing that will take place. These are not contradictions.   However, when coming to the narratives found in Scripture, we have to insert ourselves into the surrounding events. After giving several options to resolve the matter discussed above, options which span nineteen hundred years of scholarly study, the Pulpit Commentary sadly says, “Inspiration extends not to petty circumstances, and the credibility of the gospel depends not on the rectification of such minutiae.”   That is a cheap and inexcusable way of handling God's “inspiration.” If God inspired the word, then there will be a resolution to the matter. God deals in minutiae. He created the universe, and yet a single atom will not be out of place. He set forth His plan of salvation, and not a single saved person will be forgotten by Him. If God weren't in the details, the whole universe would collapse in on itself.   By placing ourselves in the narrative and seeing it (at least in a non-visual way) as the blind saw it, there is no contradiction at all. If Luke 19:1 didn't exist, the matter would be more difficult to reconcile. Despite this, if Luke 19:1 were not included, we could make our own assumptions, knowing that God had a reason for saying things the way He did.   Unfortunately, without having the right information, errors will naturally seem to arise. The NKJV does not say “And” in Luke 19:1. It says, “Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.” That would cause a real contradiction. But the Greek kai (and), not tote (then), is used. It is simply a statement of fact that Jesus entered and passed through without regard to time.   Commentaries will also muddy the waters. Benson says, “Jesus entered and passed through Jericho — Namely, after performing the miracle recorded at the close of the preceding chapter.” This is an assumption (as noted above) that the account of the events is chronological rather than categorical.   The thought Benson presents is that Jesus was entering Jericho, He healed the blind, and then proceeded through Jericho. But taking Matthew, Mark, and Luke together, along with considering Luke 19:1, there is no discrepancy.   Regardless of the fumbling of fallible man, God's word will be vindicated. Be careful not to assume that a commentary (even this one) is correct until you have fully thought through what is being said. If you still cannot come to a resolution on the matter, you can still have faith that God is in the details. All will be made clear someday.   If this is true with His word, it is true with you as well. He is there with you as you struggle through life. Trust that it is so. Keep your eyes, heart, and affections on Him. You will be rewarded for your faith on that day when you stand before Him.   Lord God, thank You that we possess a sure word about what You are doing to bring us back to Yourself. Thank You that Jesus is in the details, and that we are on the right and proper path back to You. Help us to walk in faith each step of the way. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.

Actor, writer, producer, and passionate fragrance lover Krew Boylan joins us for a fascinating exploration of scent, memory, identity, and creativity. From childhood memories triggered by flowers, family homes, and beloved toys, to the role scent plays in method acting and character development, Krew reveals how smell has always been her strongest sense and one of her most powerful creative tools. Together, we explore how fragrances become emotional anchors, why places have their own unique scent identities, and how smell influences attraction, confidence, storytelling, and self-expression.Key Takeaways Smell is often the strongest trigger of memory and emotion. Fragrance can become a tool for self-expression rather than transformation. Method acting relies heavily on sensory recall and emotional memory. Places have distinct scent identities that become tied to personal experiences. Fragrance can influence confidence, attraction, comfort, and mood. Actors can use scent as a practical tool to access emotional states. Signature fragrances become part of personal identity and how others remember us. Nostalgia is often stored and accessed through smell before any other sense.

Blessed Fragrances

What does it take to turn fragrance into something you don't just wear — but actually feel? On today's episode, we welcome Steve Sun, Founder and CEO of Biology Fragrances — a brand redefining scent as a daily ritual rooted in emotional well-being. With a background spanning design, media, and storytelling at companies like The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros., and Paramount Pictures, Steve brings a unique lens to building brands that connect on a deeper level. Raised between Taiwan and the United States, Steve's early experiences with scent—from traditional remedies to everyday rituals—shaped his perspective on fragrance as something functional, not just aesthetic. That perspective led him to study perfumery and ultimately launch Biology Fragrances — a small-batch, plant-based brand designed to support mood, energy, and overall well-being. Today, the brand is growing across DTC, Amazon, and retail, including a nationwide launch in Sprouts Farmers Market, bringing fragrance into a completely new channel. In this episode, Steve shares what it takes to build a new category around “functional fragrance,” how he blends storytelling with science to create emotionally resonant products, and why consumers are starting to think about scent as part of their wellness routine. We also discuss his unconventional approach to distribution, lessons from building billion-dollar entertainment brands, and what it means to create something that truly connects with modern consumers. Steve also reflects on the founder journey, the challenges of educating a new market, and what's next for Biology Fragrances. If you're interested in building a differentiated brand, creating products that connect on a deeper level, or redefining how consumers experience everyday rituals — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we dive into the rich, flavorful world of fat-washed cocktails, where culinary technique meets classic mixology. Jules and Uncle Brad each dive into the flavor: a bacon fat-washed bourbon Old Fashioned on my end, and a chili crunch fat-washed tequila creation from Jules that brings heat and intrigue in equal measure.  From there, Uncle Brad trace the origins of fat washing, exploring how this once-niche technique emerged from the evolution (or revolution) of cocktails.   We wrap things up with a listener question on what to do when a cocktail just tastes “off,” offering practical tips to troubleshoot and rebalance your drink like a pro.   The Art of Drinking  IG: @theartofdrinkingpodcast     Jules  IG: @join_jules  TikTok: @join_jules   Website: joinjules.com    Brad   IG: @favorite_uncle_brad    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast  IG: @reddrockmusic  www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the fragrances you're drawn to have less to do with notes and more to do with who you are? In this episode, I sit down with beauty expert, make up artist and Creator Ellen Malone for a fascinating conversation about the emotional and psychological power of scent. We explore how colour can influence fragrance preferences, why certain perfumes become part of our identity, and how scent can be used as a tool for confidence, transformation and self-expression. From treasured vintage bottles and signature scents to fragrance layering and the stories we attach to perfume throughout our lives, this episode is a masterclass in understanding the deeper role fragrance plays in shaping how we feel and how we present ourselves to the world. Whether you're a fragrance collector, a beauty enthusiast or simply curious about why certain scents move you, you'll discover a new way to think about perfume. @askellenbeautyKey Takeaways Colour can be a surprisingly accurate predictor of fragrance preference. Fragrance is often less about smelling good and more about how we want to feel. Scent creates powerful emotional anchors linked to memory and identity. Layering allows fragrance lovers to create something uniquely personal. A signature scent can become part of how others remember us. Perfume is both an emotional ritual and a form of self-expression.

This episode is one from the archives where I'm joined by Ashley Frager — homeopathic practitioner with a deep interest in environmental health, non-toxic living and the role of maintaining causes in chronic illness.This conversation was recorded when What Heals was Raw Health Rebel Podcast, but in many ways it feels even more relevant now.We go into one of the most overlooked pieces in healing. Environment. Toxic load. Fragrance. Household products. Why some symptoms keep returning. And what happens when the body is still being exposed to something it cannot tolerate.Ashley shares her extraordinary health story, from becoming severely unwell in her early twenties to discovering constitutional homeopathy and completely changing the trajectory of her life.We talk about how she moved into homeopathic practice, why she became so interested in the everyday products people were using in their homes and how maintaining causes can quietly block progress.This is not about fear or perfection. It's about asking a deeper question: what conditions are we asking the body to heal in?If you've ever felt stuck in a case, wondered why symptoms keep returning, or been curious about the link between homeopathy and environmental load, this is a conversation worth listening to.Key takeawaysWhy maintaining causes can stop healing from holdingEnvironmental toxins, fragrance and household productsConstitutional homeopathy and Ashley's personal healing storyWhy some symptoms may be warning signs rather than the real problemThe importance of looking beyond diagnosis and into the whole personWhy “clean” or “natural” products are not always as clean as they appearHow everyday exposures may quietly add to the body's burdenWhy laundry detergent and air fresheners are often a good place to startWe also talk aboutPANS, PANDAS and the pressure to chase a diagnosisWhy homeopathy does not prescribe by diagnosis aloneBioenergetic testing and Ashley's clinical observationsThe “fragrance loophole” and why scent can be so pervasiveGreenwashing in non-toxic productsThe difference between sensitivity and the body's warning systemSymptom suppression and why rashes may matterThe frustration of treating while the obstacle remainsWhy healing sometimes requires changing the environment tooSend us Fan MailJoin Lisa's new global homeopathy community, The Atrium, here.

Why has fragrance become one of the biggest identity markers for Gen Z men? And how did perfume culture move from department store counters into Discord servers, TikTok algorithms and million-view fragrance reviews? In this episode, I’m joined by Finn Batchelor, one of the world’s fastest-rising fragrance creators and the founder of FB Fragrances digital platform. With more than a million followers across platforms, Finn has become a trusted voice for a new generation of young men and boys discovering fragrance through emotion, self-expression, confidence and community. We unpack the psychology behind fragrance compliments, why young men are suddenly collecting perfume like fashion, the rise of niche and Middle Eastern fragrance houses, the truth about “beast mode” scents, and why scent can completely alter how you experience yourself. We also talk about nostalgia, mood, looks maxing and the cultural shifts driving fragrance’s explosive return. If fragrance is becoming the new identity language for a generation of men and boys, this conversation explains why.

Wowie! So many excellent fragrances to get your noses around in this episode, it was difficult to know where to begin. But with so many to explore we started with a recap of the recent barnstorming success of Barnes Fragrance Fair...We talked through Suzy's choices for her sold-out talk with Alice du Parcq (and if you couldn't go or were there but missed any of the talks: never fear! They were all recorded and will be on the Barnes Fragrance Fair YouTube channel when they're all edited. We'll let you know when they're up, but meanwhile you can watch last year's talks there, including the ‘Top of the morning' show we so loved doing.)Suzy chose:Shloksha Soapy HeartBased in Tunbridge Wells, founder Jay says “Moving from India to the UK in mytwenties, I do miss the immersive sensory joys found in everyday Indian culture.Sourcing and working with traditional Indian materials connects me to mychildhood—scented trips down memory lane!”Opening notes - red mandarin and grapefruitHeart notes - jasmine, ylang ylang, green grass and saffronBase notes – sandalwood, fruity musk, oudh“You slip on your fine silk robe, gorgeously patterned with tropical birds, andquietly pad along the hallway to the bathroom. Closing the heavy wooden doorwith a sigh of relief, you lean over the sparkling slipper bath, slide the plug inand turn both taps on full. Glittering beads of water dance in the diffuse light.You perch your hip on the side of the bath as your ears fill pleasantly with theroar and tumble of the cascading water. Your life is very busy and demanding,and you get few opportunities to indulge yourself. But a long, quiet bath is oftenwhat you crave.Your eyes glance along the rich turquoise tiled shelf as you ponder how to scentyour watery sanctuary. Antique crystal jars hold delicately fragrant floralsalts—you carefully lift their lids- one by one - and their enchanting perfumesmingle with the steam. But they're perhaps not exactly what you're in the moodfor.A waxed paper tablet of old-fashioned, handmade soap sits demurely at theend of the shelf. Fresh, brand new and unopened. Your fingertips softly caressthe crackling paper as you carefully unwrap it and the dense, creamy pebbledrops into your silken lap.You dip your hands briefly in the warm bath water and rotate the smooth soap inyour hands. Rich suds fly into the air, dense but light. Airy and iridescent. Yes,this is what you were looking for.”Jorum Studio Risso‘An independent fragrance brand founded in Scotland in 2019 led by Scottishperfumer Euan McCall.

AND she wanted to choose Olfiction ICONIC, but Alice had chosenthat, too. So... they compromised and both spoke about those incredible scents.We'll discuss them properly on the pod when the talks are up (and when Nicola'shad a chance to get her nose on them.)Nicola's been falling in love with wearing Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume allover again, for its pleasing, easy-to-wear character when worn alone, and for itsability to coax beguiling intricacies from other scents while also boosting theirlongevity.Another new launch Suzy's obsessed by is Essential Parfums Ambre Latteby Jordi Fernández“I envisioned Ambre Latte as a highly addictive overdose of my favourite amberwoods wrapped in a delicious swirl of almond milk. Infused with caramel, tonka,vanilla, and benzoin, this creamy haze lends the amber structure an irresistibleand unforgettable signature. A fragrance that draws you in… and keeps youclose."‘With Ambre Latte, Jordi Fernandez offers a unique and exquisitely refined takeon indulgence.​ The fragrance unfolds in a vaporous cloud of almond milk,delicately infused with roasted tonka bean.​ Indulgence settles in — irresistibleyet perfectly controlled — as a luscious dulce de leche caramel melts into theenveloping softness of vanilla, benzoin and white musks.​Very soon, the fragrance reveals its duality. Beneath the milky caress emergesan intensely addictive woody-amber alchemy. Ambrofix, Georgywood,Akigalawood and white sandalwood structure the composition, infusing it withdepth, sophistication and modernity. They extend the trail with sensual richness,leaving an unforgettable imprint — the perfect balance between gourmandiseand addiction.'Escentric Molecules Cologne OneSuzy described this as feeling like a Cologne that's been whizzed up in a SodaStream machine! The brand says: ‘Cologne One captures the freshness of a ginand tonic in a single, sparkling gesture: effervescent, bright, unmistakably clean.The fragrance lives in its top notes: juniper for the gin, lime and citrus for lift, atouch of bergamot and mandarin, a whisper of ginger for a delicate spiciness,and a hint of cucumber's neutrality to enhance the crispness without becomingliteral. It is freshness concentrated, transparent, and immediate.The heart remains understated: iris, rose, and hedione offer just enoughstructure to support the top note, allowing the bright citrus and juniper to linger.The dry down is linear, calm, and unobtrusive: Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and atrace of musk. Nothing competes, nothing distracts.“We have a very different approach to fragrance, so our first cologne capturesthe very unique and wonderful freshness of a gin and tonic. I think it's quite newwith that sort of freshness. It's the idea of the sparkling, effervescent gin andtonic first scent, this sort of your nose in the drink,” says perfumer Geza Schoen.Cologne One is a cologne reimagined by Escentric Molecules: 15% concentrationfor lasting freshness without leaving an overwhelmingly fragrant impression. It isrefreshing, refined, and gender-neutral....

Show Notes In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, Beth Dodson talks with Nicole Jacques, home system strategist and creator of the House CEO philosophy, about how the products, routines, and systems inside our homes can affect both our health and our peace of mind. Nicole shares how her own pregnancy and later autoimmune diagnosis pushed her to examine the hidden environmental factors inside the home, leading her into the world of low-tox living.  Together, Beth and Nicole unpack what "low tox" really means, why so many so-called "clean" products are confusingly marketed, and how homeowners can make healthier swaps without becoming overwhelmed. Nicole emphasizes that low-tox living is not about perfection. It is about reducing toxic load step by step, especially with the products and systems you use every day.  The conversation also digs into synthetic fragrance, air quality, and the reality that many homeowners have never been taught how to properly care for a home. Nicole explains why overwhelm often comes from a knowledge gap, not laziness, and offers a more realistic, forgiving approach to home care: fewer products, fewer decisions, more routines, and lower standards in the right places.  They also cover practical issues homeowners often overlook, including dryer vent safety, the health impact of stagnant indoor air, the value of air scrubbers and filters, and why functionality matters more than aesthetics when creating a home that truly supports your life. Nicole closes with three simple takeaways: do not aim for perfection, start with what you use every day, and find community so the process feels lighter and more doable.  Key Takeaways Your home environment may be affecting your health more than you realize.  Low-tox living does not have to be all-or-nothing. Replace products gradually as they run out.  Synthetic fragrance often masks problems instead of solving them.  Clean air and clean water are some of the best places to start.  Many homeowners feel overwhelmed because nobody taught them how to care for a home.  A home should feel like a safe place, not a second job.  Buying more products usually adds complexity instead of solving the problem.  Function matters more than "pretty" when creating a healthy home.  Dryer vent maintenance is a major fire-prevention issue.  Simpler routines can improve both your home and your well-being.   sound bites "Fragrance can be endocrine disruptors." "Lower your standards for a healthier home." "Simplify and praise your progress."

As believers in Christ, people should notice a fragrance coming from our lives.  And that spiritual perfume is the gospel of Christ.  It too can be well received, or rejected.  Today on Bridging the Gap we'll see how the Lord can use that fragrance in powerful ways if we're open and ready.

Barb Stegemann is back to inspire us once more, just in time for Mother's Day! Also known as the “Philosopher Queen,” Barb is a longtime friend of our show and a complete force to be reckoned with in the beauty business. Barb launched The 7 Virtues fragrance brand out of her garage in Halifax, Nova Scotia on International Women's Day back in 2010, after her best friend, Capt. Trevor Greene, was wounded in Afghanistan by the Taliban while serving there.Barb then sowed the seeds of what would become a historic social enterprise and commercial success story, buying fair-trade essential oils from farmers in war-torn regions to make perfumes for peace — and now The 7 Virtues is in 2,000 Sephora stores around the world.Tune in to hear about:What makes a viral moment: why The 7 Virtues “Santal Vanille and “Amber Vanilla” were the clean perfumes to pop off on TikTokWhy “Vanilla Woods,” launched in 2018, was years ahead of the gourmand trend, and what makes it the brand's bestseller to this dayWhat makes a fragrance “clean” anyway? Barb explains fragrance load, organic sugar-cane alcohol and a 24-hour wear test Why “Strawberry Jam” is the biggest launch in brand history, and why Barb believes everyone wants to smell like layer cake at this moment in timeInside The 7 Virtues Atelier on the Halifax Waterfront, and a major scoop on Barb's expansion plans for the custom fragrance concept storeThe Sephora full-circle moment: from taking part in Sephora Accelerate in 2018 to mentoring the next class of Sephora Squad creators in 2026“Dragons' Den,” redux: the original pitch that landed Brett Wilson's $125,000 investment (a reported 56-fold return), and what it felt like to return as a guest dragon for the show's 20th anniversaryWhy being underestimated is a gift, and the Marcus Aurelius wisdom Barb has repeated to her kids since they were small: “Be prepared to meet the angry, the lost, the jealous, the jaded. Now lead.”Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode! Find us on Instagram, Tiktok,X, Threads. Join our private Facebook group.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, MD, is a double board-certified OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinologist. We discuss how to improve hormone health at any age and the importance of fertility markers not just for pregnancy, but as a powerful window into overall health, vitality and longevity. We discuss hormone replacement therapy, egg freezing, IVF, and what biomarkers like AMH really indicate. Plus, how anti-inflammatory diets and specific supplements can be beneficial and the impact of microplastics and certain fragrances on hormones. We also discuss lesser-known factors that deplete male and female fertility, vitality and health. This conversation highlights how better understanding of hormones and your reproductive markers can empower better informed choices at every stage of life. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.
