Podcasts about fragrance

We are alive and we can smell. After a long hiatus battling illnesses that left us without two of our favorite senses, we return with a renewed love for all things perfume, and well, podcasting about it. Listen to us babble about our blind buy challenges, updated want list, and what we've been wearing. Oh, and a couple of new favorites from the game.

With the world feeling a bit uncertain at the moment we wanted to talk about some of the fragrances that help us feel better.Here's what we mention:Acqua Di Parma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato ‘To mark the 110th anniversary… Expertly distilled over 24 hours and delicately fractionated, the 2024 harvest of Ylang-Ylang from Nosy Be amplifies the vibrancy of the citruses and gives density and depth to the perfume. Italian bergamot, blood orange, petitgrain and grapefruit open the composition with a golden freshness, while rosemary, orange leaves absolute, patchouli, and vetiver give structure and sophistication to this citrus aromatic creation.' Zara Jo Malone The Golden LullabyCreed Wild Vetiver‘Experience untamed elegance with Wild Vetiver, a composition sculpted by an unexpected harmony of timur berry, rose centifolia and noble vetiver.'(inspired by an English garden party wandering into the wild. Wild Vetiver is a fragrance off the beaten path, walking the line between precise refinement and nature. Born from noble roots yet spirited in its freedom, this sculpted composition reveals a vibrant tension between sophistication and wilderness. Opening with the spiced vibrancy of hand-harvested timur berry, the heart unfolds as rose centifolia rambles freely. At the base, vetiver casts a woody trail, grounding the composition with modern elegance. This is an enchanting journey through an aristocratic garden, where halcyon moments and the joy of missing out drift through the air.)Chloe Nomad Eau de Parfum NaturelJo Malone London English Pear & Sweet Pea ‘Sun-warmed orchards spring to life as tempting green pears fill the branches. The luscious fruits enveloped in softly scented pastel sweet peas, nestled on a base of powdery white musk.'“I can't help but smile when I wear English Pear & Sweet Pea. It's playful,subtle and instantly makes my day better.” – Lizzy JaggerJo Malone London English Pear & Freesia(Georgia May Jagger wears): ‘Orchards steeped in golden sunshine, warming the russet curves of luscious pears. The sensuous freshness of the just-ripe fruit wrapped in elegant white freesias, enhanced with rose and rooted in patchouli.'“I love it because it's classic and elegant. I feel I can reach for it every dayand wear it anywhere. It's really timeless.”– Georgia May JaggerVilla BullogniaMaya Njie Aethi Opum ‘When the rain subsides, black pepper, aidan fruit and vanilla warm up the earth with the sun. Aromas of coffee, vetiver and leather stir with thiouraye (churai) incense over formations of stone.The ancient keeper of lore secretly adorns itself with bark and leaves, its presence seen only by the vultures circling the skies above.'Black Pepper, Wet Earth, Aidan Fruit, Thiouraye incense (Churai) Vetiver, Papyrus, Coffee, Iris, Suede, Frankincense, Vanilla, Leather.Ormonde Jayne Bijou Zafran‘Celestial, A Spell in a BottleSaffron, red gold on skin, trailing fire spun in silk, flares like a comet in slow motion.It's not perfume. It's a presence, a spell in a bottle, softly dangerous, strangely celestial.Every turn of the head feels choreographed by desire. It doesn't shout, it smoulders.Wear it when you want the world to lean in just a little closer.'HEAD: Saffron, PearHEART: Cypriol, Iris, BenzoinSOUL: Patchouli, Musk, Mineral Amber, Vanilla Bean, Leather AccordThameen Centre StageOlfactive O New Earth (Soon to be launched…) Green, earthy, petrichor: loamy, soaked soil after the rain, the sense of nature nurturing. Can't wait to wear this!

Wird das die verzwickteste Podcastfolge aller Zeiten Jonoir_fragrance und RiotScents haben zweifellos ein feines Näschen – doch reicht das aus, um in dieser Folge zu bestehen? Ich habe den beiden Duftdetektiven sechs knifflige Dufträtsel gestellt, die es in sich haben. Sollten sie einmal nicht weiterwissen, wartet zu jedem Rätsel ein passendes Sample als zusätzliche Spur. Doch wird das genügen? Schaffen es Jona und Riot, alle Düfte zu entlarven oder scheitern sie kläglich an den ausgeklügelten Rätseln, die Luke für sie vorbereitet hat? Und auch ihr seid gefragt!Die Community darf natürlich fleißig miträtseln – und für den/die Klügsten und Schnellsten unter euch gibt es sogar eine Belohnung. Also knobelt mit, stellt eure Vermutungen an und findet den gesuchten Duft.Viel Spaß bei der wohl rätselhaftesten Folge der Parfümwelt!Account von Parfümwelt (aka Luke):https://wonderl.ink/@parfuemweltZum Account von Jona:https://wonderl.ink/@jonoir_fragranceAccount von RiotScents:https://wonderl.ink/@riotscentsDie Rätsel:Den Namen des Duftes, das sei euch klar,verrate ich nur zum Teil – sonst wär die Lösung zu nah.Ich bin ein kleines Land, doch meine orange Krone steht heute fern, vor einem großen Festland liege ich, dem Meer sehr nah und gern. Von Wasser umgeben, doch Regen ist rar,Sonne und Sand bestimmen mein Jahr.Mein großer Nachbar, erst überfallen,um sich die Ressourcen gänzlich zu krallen.Wisst ihr nicht, wer ich bin? Sucht mich auf den Karten, das macht doch Sinn! Nicht von der Schönheit geformt, wie oft benannt, sondern von Pilkington, dem original jGangster und geübter Meisterhand.Es ist nicht ihrer, auch nicht seiner,also ist es …?Quelle est la solution? Doch das Rätsel ist hier nicht zu Ende,doch lesen müsst ihr nur dies hier – keine ganzen Bände.Ich komme aus Indonesien, Indien oder Haiti,nicht jeder findet, dass ich rieche sehr pretty.Ein bis zwei Meter meine Länge,doch die wahre Power steckt –wie beim Manne – im Gehänge.Trockne mich und mach mich heiß,so wie es schon die Urväter machten einst.Holzig, rauchig, erdig, schön,kannst du mich in vielen grundlegenden Düften sehn.Mein Vater Poseidon, mein Bruder Krisaor,meine Heimat die Erde – und zwar überall dort.Ich stehe für Freiheit, hoch oben im Licht,die Amazonen einst liebte ich nicht.Wenn es heute Nacht wird, dann blicke nach oben,dort trug ich die Blitze von Götternund wurde zum Dank in den Himmel gehoben.Rousseau, Voltaire und Victor Hugo kenne ich gut,denn durch sie fließt ein ähnliches Blut.Auch aus dem Lande, da komme ich her,nur ein Mensch bin ich nicht, jetzt wird das Rätsel gar schwer.Ich stelle den Menschen in mein Zentrum hinein,Vernunft ist mein Maßstab, mein Denken, mein Sein.Ich wähle die Freiheit, nicht blindes Gesetz,und trage Verantwortung – bewusst bis zuletzt.Mein Haus ist ein großes, im Lande bekannt,brannten erst Cognacs, bevor Parfüm hier entstand.Ich bin kein Acker und auch kein Feld,doch kennt ihr mich gut, denn euch gefällt's.Für Mensch, Tier und Natur bin ich wichtig und breit,mehr als nur Fläche – voll Dauer und Zeit.Ich bin nicht einer, ich bin sehr viele,mein Alter liest man in den Zuwachslinien.Was jedes Kind schon früh versteht:Hier ist man leis, wenn man mich betritt.Kein Rufen, Brüllen oder Kreischen,Achtsamkeit müsst ihr hier leisten.Nun sprecht die beiden, die euch bekannt,leise in Sprache, die euch wohlbekannt.Gesucht ist ein konzentrierter Auszug aus der Substanz,doch riecht er für euch sehr intensiv mit viel Glanz.Kommt ihr nicht drauf, was ich wohl meine,dann schließt eure Augen – das Gesehene notiere ich als das Zweite, Feine.Manchmal hilft es, ein Stück zurückzugehen,um Erisile schließlich auch zu verstehen.Werbung | TransparenzhinweisIn dieser Folge werden Marken genannt und Produkte vorgestellt.

Seeing the Fragrance

Nombuyiselo Shabangu – Scent.Ubuhle SAfm Market Update - Podcasts and live stream

In the weeks leading up to Easter, we're releasing prayer podcasts designed to help you slow down and encounter God. Each episode weaves together Scripture, worship, and guided prayer—creating space to reflect and respond. This week, we read from Psalm 40 and John 12, reflecting on Mary's costly worship and the "fragrance" our lives carry. What aroma are you bringing into the spaces you enter? As we approach Easter, consider what Jesus may be inviting you to lay at His feet—and how time with Him shapes the way you live, love, and lead.

SHOW NOTES: https://www.morriswellnessservices.com/blog/183 Fragrance is one of the most common endocrine disruptors in modern homes, and most women are exposed to it daily without realizing it. In this episode, we explain what “fragrance” actually means on ingredient labels and how synthetic scent chemicals can affect hormone balance, thyroid function, fertility, metabolism, and the nervous system. You'll learn how fragrance chemicals enter the body through inhalation and skin contact, why they can mimic estrogen, and how they may contribute to symptoms like PMS, infertility, migraines, anxiety, and stubborn weight gain. We also break down where fragrance hides, including laundry detergent, dryer sheets, candles, plug-ins, cleaning products, trash bags, and personal care items. If you've been searching for answers about endocrine disruptors, hormone imbalance, clean living, fragrance safety, thyroid health, or how to create a fragrance-free home, this episode will give you practical clarity without fear or overwhelm. This is part of a series on environmental toxins and women's hormone health. Subscribe for more conversations on hormone balance, thyroid support, fertility, metabolism, and holistic women's health.   This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".

This podcast episode of Future Shop features WSL's Wendy Liebmann and Elia Auchane as they recap their recent trip to Cosmoprof North America in Miami. Together, they explore the shifting landscape of the beauty industry, questioning if the sector is “tapped out” while identifying the viral trends, from K-Beauty to Middle Eastern fragrances, that are currently dominating the global market. Through the lens of retail curation and the “toyification” of beauty, they break down how social media and community building have replaced traditional marketing as the primary engines of growth. Episode Highlights The Clash of Worlds: Why the “sleepy,” clinical minimalism of K-Beauty and the “glossy,” over-the-top opulence of Middle Eastern fragrances dominated the show floor. The TikTok Feed Come to Life: How trade shows have evolved into live content sets for influencers and social media brands. Fragrance Wardrobing: The shift from having a “signature scent” to collecting affordable, viral fragrances based on mood.Retail as Curator: Why small-footprint, discovery-focused environments like airport shops are becoming the gold standard for beauty retail.Beyond the Desk: The importance of Retail Safaris® and physical immersion to understand where the competition is actually spending.Send a textVisit our website for transcripts, links mentioned on this episodes, and video podcasts.

There's a certain position in the fragrance industry that gets to call the shots, finesse the juice, and influence how fragrances go from brief to shelves — a position that your hosts wished they knew existed during the "figuring out what we wanna be" phase of our academic careers. We can't turn back time, but we can grill said figure: Kyle Ferguson, fragrance evaluator at Givaudan. He's the go-between the client and perfumer, facilitating communication, translating scent directives, and helping to make a fragrance its best and most beloved.

What's the best men's cologne in 2026? Is Orto Parisi worth the hype? What does "grassy" mean? How do you actually describe how something smells without sounding pretentious?In the 2026 Scentacular, Sol and Michael sit down with over 50 fragrance samples (thank you, ScentSplit!) to answer these questions and more to create the ultimate 2026 fragrance guide for men.  The duo dive deep into niche perfume houses like Orto Parisi, Serge Lutens, Frederic Malle, and Amouage—reviewing cult classics like Megamare, Jubilation XXV, Cowboy Grass, and Carnal Flower.They discuss why the fragrance industry is booming right now (hint: lipstick theory), how TikTok perfume influencers are changing the game, and dive deep into the trendy ingredients (like ambroxan) that give modern fragrances their smell and insane longevity.

In this episode of the Paddy Wagon , Mike welcomes Melissa Sifjardóttir, founder and creator of Sif Sniffs, who shares her unique journey through the world of feederism, weight gain, and personal transformation. Melissa recounts her experiences starting from her early fascination with fat fashion and the fetish community, where she reached a peak weight of 540 pounds. She discusses the complexities of her relationships within the feederism community, the challenges of body image, and the societal perceptions surrounding weight. As the conversation unfolds, Melissa also touches on her transition to becoming a fitness instructor and her ongoing journey of self-acceptance and health, including her recent weight loss and the impact of her growth hormone issues on her body. Melissa Sifjardóttir also shares her stories from being a fitness instructor to navigating the complexities of health issues and ultimately finding her passion in perfumery. She discusses her struggles with medical professionals who dismissed her concerns about growth hormone levels, leading to a significant weight loss after finally receiving the right diagnosis. Melissa also delves into her experiences during the pandemic, including her involvement in a cult-like group focused on Norse magic and how it influenced her life choices. The conversation highlights the importance of community, personal growth, and the challenges of transitioning from one career to another, especially in the creative field of fragrance-making.  You won't want to miss this one, folks!!

The world doesn't see Jesus through perfect people, but through forgiven ones who show grace. Paul shows that forgiveness heals what's broken, shuts down the enemy, reflects God's heart, and makes the gospel noticeable—like a scent people can't ignore. When we forgive, we carry the aroma of Christ, and for some, that grace might be their very first encounter with Jesus.Watch more sermons from the Inside Out: The Gospel That Transforms series at ⁠⁠https://crosstownalliance.com/insideout/⁠⁠ABOUT THIS SERIESA new year often brings new goals and fresh starts—but lasting change takes more than willpower, resolutions, or a self-improvement plan.

In this Fragrance Friday episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Pissara Umavijani, founder and perfumer of Parfums Dusita, for a quietly powerful conversation about perfume as emotion, memory, and meaning. In an industry increasingly driven by trends and virality, Dusita stands apart as a house built on poetry, patience, and feeling.Pissara shares her deeply personal journey—leaving Thailand to start over in Paris with a singular intention: to create fragrance that makes people feel. Entirely self-taught, she immersed herself in the craft of perfumery through persistence and intuition, guided by a belief that scent should communicate something human, not perform for attention. Even the name Dusita, which refers to a level of paradise in Thai culture, reflects this ethos—living with purpose, warmth, and emotional presence.Rather than relying on obvious cultural motifs, Dusita expresses Thai heritage through values: gentleness, hospitality, compassion, and balance. These qualities shape not only the fragrances themselves, but how the brand engages with people—inviting closeness rather than spectacle.At the heart of every Dusita fragrance is poetry written by Pissara's late father. Each poem serves as an emotional blueprint, translated into scent rather than illustrated literally. This approach comes to life in beloved creations like Tonka Latte, a soft, comforting gourmand inspired by warmth and love, and Pavilion d'Or, a serene composition that captures balance and stillness without adhering to a single category.Throughout the conversation, Pissara returns to one guiding principle: balance. For her, great perfumery isn't about intensity—it's about harmony, evolution, and restraint. Dusita's fragrances don't demand attention; they reward it.Listen to the full Skin Anarchy episode to hear how poetry, Thai cultural values, and emotional honesty shape Parfums Dusita—and why the most powerful fragrances are often the quietest ones.SHOP Parfums DusitaDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the showSupport the show

In this week's episode we're leaning into the our nostalgia needs and exploring the wonderful world of vintage inspired fragrances.Here's what we discuss:@guerlain Shalimar L'Essence Eau de Parfum Intense“Shalimar celebrates its 100th anniversary. To mark this exceptional event, the Maison is revealing Shalimar L'Essence, a new intense variation which concentrates Shalimar's distinctive codes: its quintessence. A homage to the timeless modernity, daring and seduction of Guerlain's most famous scent for women.Delphine Jelk has added the precious Madagascan vanilla tincture stemming from Guerlain's ancestral know-how to the ethylvanillin found in Jacques Guerlain's original formula, giving Shalimar a new intensity.Discreet and subtle, bergamot illuminates the floral heart which blends rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Little by little, Shalimar's amber note unfolds. Used in abundance, vanilla infuses it with new facets – smooth and woody with a hint of leather.”“To wear Shalimar is to let your senses take over.” - Jacques Guerlain@bienaime_1935 Vermeil @gather.fragrance & @fioleukWe've previously talked about this one quite a lot, but you must also check out their gloriously evocative new fragrance…Bienaimé Vesprée @gather.fragrance & @fioleuk“Vesprée captures the quiet, luminous moment between day and night. As the sun dips and the air cools, an elegant breeze of cardamom, bergamot and lavender unfurls - soft, serene, and full of anticipation.TOP NOTES Cardamom, Bergamot, Lavender, Carrot Seed, Celery SeedHEART NOTES Peru Balsam, Rose, Geranium, IrisBASE NOTES Vetiver, Benzoin, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Labdanum, Tonka Bean, SandalwoodThe fragrance opens with fresh spice and aromatic brightness before revealing a warm, resinous heart wrapped in iris and rose. As it settles, Vesprée becomes deeper and more textural, grounded in vetiver, benzoin and smooth woods. The result is a softly glowing, gender-fluid composition - equally comforting and refined, evoking the stillness and mystery of twilight.@jouissanceparfums La Bague d'O(1954 inspired) “Beguiling, intoxicating, romantic.

If you are a follower of Christ, it can be quite confusing to understand how some people can be so against the church and God. He's the greatest thing that ever was, is, and could be. How could they not want that? Well, in today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that just as the “aroma” of Christ is enticing to those who believe in Him, it's equally as pungent to those who don't. However, as you know, once they get a taste of the goodness of Christ, they can't get enough. It becomes a source of life.

When sharing the Gospel, there are many tools you can use. You can hand out tracks or share the ABCs of salvation, but the most powerful tool in your belt is sharing your testimony. There was a point when you did not know Christ, and now you do. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that sharing your testimony shows people that there was a time when you were just as lost and confused as they are, but Jesus called out to you, and you were rescued from yourself. Let your testimony be a powerful tool that can change hearts.

Landscaping can provide a lot of mixed emotions. After spending so much money and so many hours full of sweat and a sore back, you step back and see… something a little underwhelming. It seems like all that hard work was a waste until next spring gives you the most beautiful yard you've ever had. In today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that sharing the Gospel may give you underwhelming results at times, but you are planting seeds that God will grow into the most beautiful thing.

Welcome back to Bri Books, the podcast (and corner of the internet) where we educate, entertain, and feel our way through ideas both on and off the page. As we head toward the end of 2025 and look ahead to 2026, I'm sharing my best-of beauty and skincare favorites — the products I've loved all year and continue to reach for during the colder months. These are my true winter staples: products that prioritize hydration, warmth, glow, and comfort when the weather (and life) feels a little harsher. If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter.  So cozy up with your tea, light a candle, swipe on your favorite lip gloss, and let's begin. Bri Books' Winter Beauty Philosophy I always think about winter beauty through memory. Last December, I was sipping hot cider by my Brooklyn window, watching snow fall, listening to my radiator hiss, and feeling my skin crack, peel, and protest. Late winter dryness hits me every year, so I've learned to curate intentionally. Here's how I nurture my skin and my beauty in the winter and beyond. 1. Dyson Corrale Flat Iron — $499–$539 I've used the Dyson Corrale for over five years, and it remains unmatched. Its flexing plates reduce heat damage and tugging, which is especially important when winter hair is already dry and fragile. Yes, it's an investment — but if you want salon-quality results at home, it's worth it. 2. Kérastase Nutritive Range — $40–$85 per product at Sephora For deep nourishment, the Kérastase Nutritive line is my winter hero. I use the shampoo weekly, followed by either the conditioner or the Riche mask. I always finish with the Nectar Thermique heat protectant and the split ends serum. When my scalp is dry, I add the hydrating scalp serum. If you're heat-styling more, always pair it with a mask. Winter hair loves moisture. 3. Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm — $42 at Sephora This cult favorite transforms from balm to oil to milk and melts away makeup and SPF without stripping the skin. It feels incredibly luxe — and in winter, hydration should feel indulgent. 4. Sephora Collection Overnight Hydrating Dose Mask — $10 each 2025 had me on more planes than ever — Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Mexico. Sephora's sheet masks became my travel and weekend staples. They're affordable, effective, and easy to keep in rotation when your skin feels parched. 5. Elasten Liquid Collagen — $99 on Amazon This is my only true "health" pick of the year. Collagen production declines with age, and liquid collagen supplements can help support skin elasticity and hydration — especially when paired with vitamin C. I take mine in the morning with tea. It's a small ritual with a big payoff. 6. LUSH Bath Bombs & Epsom Salts — $6–$13 per bath bomb Long soaks are my ultimate self-care reset. I love LUSH bath bombs for the sensory experience, paired with classic Epsom salts for muscle relief. There's nothing like a hot bath before diving into life admin — or after a long day. 7. Mandelic Acid + Vitamin C — $20–$100 depending on brand After years of experimenting, I've stabilized my routine with professional guidance. Mandelic acid gently exfoliates while vitamin C protects against dullness and boosts brightness — a winter glow essential. 8. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic — $185 Still my gold-standard antioxidant serum. It protects against oxidative stress from dry air and gives the skin a true glow shield. 9. Byredo "Mixed Emotions" Eau de Parfum — $235 Fragrance sets the mood for me year-round, and Byredo has completely captured my heart. Mixed Emotions is warm, woodsy, softly sweet, and deeply comforting — like a winter hug. 10. La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 50 — $49 SPF is non-negotiable, even in winter. This lightweight, broad-spectrum sunscreen works beautifully under makeup and doesn't irritate my eyes or sensitive skin. 11. OPI Infinite Shine Holiday 2025 — $7–$15 Winter nails take a beating with constant handwashing and gloves. OPI Infinite Shine delivers gel-like durability without the commitment. I love deep reds, classics, and neutral shades all season long. These are my winter beauty favorites — the products that carried me through 2025 and will absolutely stay with me into 2026. Let me know what you've tried, what you're curious about, and what you want to explore next. I'm always here for cozy beauty conversations.
