Cécile Zarokian is one of the greatest independent perfumers of all time, but she wasn't always independent, and she hadn't always planned on becoming a perfumer, either. Today, she's in the Perfume Room sharing how she's redefined the rules of the game, turned her greatest challenges into strengths, and found the CZP edge—her proverbial captive if you will—that helps her compete with (and win against) the industry's biggest players.FRAGS MENTIONED:Yves Rocher, Lancome Magie Noir, Acqua di Parma, Chloe, Amouage Epic Woman, Granado Bossa, Electimuss Vanilla Edesia, Amouage Attar collection, Nishani AneSOTD: St. Rose Juliet in WhiteThank you to this month's sponsor ⁠The Raconteur⁠! emma10 for 10% off Raconteur bottles @ ⁠Stele⁠ (now - 7/31)SUBSCRIBE: perfumeroom.substack.com for Smell Club updates!FOLLOW CÉCILE:IG: @cecilezarokianparfumeurTikTok: @cecilezarokian

Our latest #OnTheScent episode finds us prescribing scents for strength and charisma, AND diving into part two of our Sniff-along with @the_rac_on_teur!Lore asked for a fragrance to project quietly determined authority and charismatic leadership – not sweet florals or heavy ambers, loves tea notes, budget £120. Here's what we chose and why:@olfactiveo Skin and Citrus: We recommend layering these from the Discovery Set.

Mysterious, tea-laced depth – perfect for making a memorable impression.@millerharris Tea Tonique: Like dawn mist over a tea plantation – crisp green tea, zesty bergamot, and a wisp of birch tar. Uplifting and clear-minded (confidence in a bottle).@ormondejayne Xian: Coolly refined – tea, citrus, & subtle woods for an elegant, versatile signature. Always poised, never overpowering.#ad Part two of our Sniff-along – We're exploring the new Discovery Set II from The Raconteur (@the_rac_on_teur).

Years ago, Craig Andrade took a candle-making class that became the impetus for a life pivot from being a lawyer to becoming a perfumer. And in studying perfumery, he realized that so many of Australia's native raw materials had yet to be introduced to the world. We have Andrade on this episode to discuss how Raconteur embodies the stories of Australian life through some of Australia's unique idiosyncrasies, desserts, and best hours (3 am at a rave). [What we smell like today: Givaudan Florstalgia Jasmine, Raconteur Foul Play]

This episode is in partnership with RaconteurIn this episode we get to know the incredible Craig Andrade at one of our favourite fragrance stores @bloomperfumery . Craig is the founder of niche fragrance brand @the_rac_on_teur and his story is both emotional and inspiring.During the episode we learn about the moment in his life that changed everything and took him from being a lawyer in a high-stress environment to being totally immersed in the world of fragrance to the point that he enrolled himself into the Grasse Institute and started his journey as a perfumer and brand founder.Craig's brand is astonishing in a number of ways. Not only does he bring little known Australian botanicals to the fore and give them a beautiful spotlight, but there is a wonderful sense of humour and irreverence. (Craig injects so much of his amazing personality into the brand).Craig is the most passionate and supportive man as you'll hear. He champions everyone in the industry and we feel so lucky that he has also chosen to support our podcast not only for this episode for the next few weeks.During the episode we have our first encounter with his mind-blowingly brilliant collection. Join us as we sniff six gourmands, each with a uniquely Australian twist and some world-first notes that define his frontier perfumery practice: Killr Vanillr — Australians have a bit of a reputation for knowing how to have a good time. This is a scent for 3am — for lovers of late nights and legendary Australian dancefloors. Deep, dark, rich and smokey — a vanilla slice mirror ball. No-Tell Motel — Date night scent — If a dirty martini and spicy margarita hooked up, this would be their motel lock-in. Boozy, flirty, unapologetically fun. Two “world firsts” in fine fragrance: an “olive fruit absolute” extract and a CO2 extract of Tasmanian Mountain Pepper — which introduces a new earthy green facet to the spice family. I pioneered this new spice for the signature scent I designed for Australian pop star, Troye Sivan, and No-Tell Motel continues the story of this rare Tasmanian spice. Pavlova Kasanova — A bittersweet ode to long-distance love, built around Australia's most iconic dessert: the pavlova. Ms. Macadamia — Bold and free-spirited, a scent I designed as a tribute to all the women in my life: Australia's native macadamia nut, native golden wattle, precious orris root and sultry smokey peach. Lord Lamington — A classic cologne, laced with ambition and a slice of Australia's cocoa-dipped nostalgic cake. For those who want to have their cake and eat it. Daintree Rain Tea — A meditative scent inspired by Australia's ancient Daintree Rainforest. Rain, tea and rare blue lotus in quiet communion.AND THIS IS WHERE IT GETS EVEN MORE EXCITINGFor the three episodes that follow this one, Suzy and I will be delving even deeper into these fragrances and we'd love for you to join us.Head to the Bloom Covent Garden website (Or go in store) and purchase one of the amazing Raconteur Discovery Kits via this link .

A lot can happen in a year. Since opening its Williamsburg doors last summer, Stéle has added a second location, dropped 100(!) fragrances in a single day, and moonlights as Nolita's hottest millennial nightclub (stay tuned for pt. 2: the Pacha-to-Stéle Fri night pipeline).Despite the (well-deserved) buzz, founders Jake Levy and Matt Belanger remain steadfast in their commitment to artisanal, small-batch, offbeat scents.So how did they do it?

David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101 is back again! Talking turkey? Nope. This time around, David joins us to talk about his new whiskey company Washington Lafayette Revolutionary Spirits and the very first releases from the brand which are Caleb's Crossing Bourbon & Rye. These whiskeys will be exclusively available on Bourbonoutfitter.com on April 4th. But, what do they taste like? Perhaps more importantly, what is the story behind these bottles? Caleb's Crossing Bourbon is a blend of 6 and 7 year old straight whiskeys that is dual cask finished in Pineau des Charentes and Armagnac Casks and slow proofed to perfection. Caleb's Crossing Rye starts off as an 8 year 95/5 rye whiskey and is also finished in Pineau casks. Both of these whiskeys taste as unique as the story behind them. David takes the time to explain the painstaking process he went through to craft these whiskeys and delves further into the family story that made it all possible. While we have plenty of fun in this episode and talk a little Turkey and Raconteur, the majority of this fascinating conversation is focused on Caleb's Crossing and what David has in store for the future. We promise you will want to listen all the way to "the finish." --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyTW: https://twitter.com/themashupkyPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPVisit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your orderMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

For this weeks short, we have the third batch of Raconteur Rye which is a blended rye whiskey collaboration brought to us by none other than David Jennings (Rare Bird 101) and the good folks over at the WoodWork Collective. You can go back and listen to our reviews of Batch # 1 (E157) and Batch # 2 (E180). The big change for the current batch is that it uses a Kentucky rye as the base whiskey instead of MGP. Coming in at 118 proof and still carrying a 7 year age statement, this bottle released this past Friday (Feb. 7th) and is already sold out. We thought we would be ahead of the curve, but it turns out we were just a little behind. So, what do we think of this batch? You won't want to miss our take on this one. As always, we appreciate James and DJ for providing us with a sample of this whiskey.

In this entertaining episode of The Creators Podcast, Scott Nathan takes us on a whirlwind journey through his multifaceted life as a celebrity photographer, author, podcast host, and master storyteller. Sharing stories from his early days in Chicago to thriving as a creative in West Hollywood, Scott reflects on his serendipitous career transitions—like becoming a professional photographer in his late 30s with the support of industry giants—and recounts colorful encounters with celebrities such as Katy Perry, Joan Rivers, and Drew Barrymore.

All of Arc II comes to a thrilling conclusion as the Raconteur observes the Twisted King's vile march through the multiverse, stopping at nothing other than complete and total subjugation. The Raconteur must assemble a group of heroes who may stand in the King's way if anyone is to live free of the Twisted King's control. Will they be successful? Or will this be the final story in the Compendium of Many Worlds?

The Raconteur takes you back to Earth 1 for the thrilling conclusion of the tale of Romulus Pendragon. The tragedy of this story is on full display as you shuffle through the post-apocalyptic landscape, raging against an enemy that is backed by a great and terrible force. Stay close to the Raconteur, he'd hate to see you injured.

Tonight, the Raconteur takes you to Earth 13. The home of the most well known Twisted King in the multiverse. His rise to power and descent to madness leads into another grand tale… but tonight, you should merely focus on his own tale, and perhaps realize that some are not made evil… sometimes evil is born, twisted from the start.

In this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan sip on the unique and highly-anticipated Raconteur Rye (Batch 2). But before diving into the glass, they catch up on life: Cole's recovery from Covid, strategies for calming a crying baby, and a deep dive into the story behind Raconteur Rye and its connection to Rare Bird 101. On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares the latest buzz surrounding the upcoming Abraham Bowman releases from A. Smith Bowman Distillery, giving listeners a taste of what's to come in the whiskey world. And for this week's "What Whiskey Would You Choose?", Cole poses a fun challenge: If you started your own distillery, where would you build it? Pour yourself a dram and join Cole and Bryan for an episode filled with whiskey insights, life lessons, and some exciting future whiskey prospects!

The Raconteur brings you to Earth 11121, home to a very old corpse. The corpse once belonged to a brutal warlord called only Mars. Tonight though, another being attaches itself to it. Calling itself Infinity. A name you have heard before, in the first and third ever discussion with the Raconteur. This fragment of Infinity though, is not his cunning nor his fear, but rather his rage. Ad astra, per aspera, dear guest.

On episode 157 of The Mash Up, we introduced and reviewed Raconteur Rye which is a blended rye whiskey collaboration brought to us by none other than David Jennings (Rare Bird 101) and the good folks over at the WoodWork Collective. Raconteur Rye Batch # 1 was very well received. It sold out instantly and left people clamoring for more. Well...the wait is almost over. Raconteur Rye Batch # 2 will be released in September! Once again, this rye whiskey starts as an MGP product which is expertly finished in different types of barrels. We loved the first release, but how does batch # 2 compare? You'll have to listen to find out. Not only do we have a ton of fun, but we blind batches 1 & 2 to give you the ultimate analysis. We would like to thank DJ for providing us with an advance sample of Raconteur Rye Batch # 2! -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky TW: https://twitter.com/themashupky Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Visit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your order Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

The Raconteur takes you to Earth 42 or more accurately the space around it. Glittering stars and turning planets are tonight's backdrop as you follow Jackson Axel "Goldheart" Monroe, a space pirate with a... well a heart of gold. He will do battle with the remnants of a dead world, and could very well perish in the attempt, will he survive, or is his fate written in the stars? Who is to say? May the "Force" be with you, dear Guest.

The Raconteur brings you back to the pivotal universe of Earth One. The world in which an awful plague fell upon the land after World War One. You continue to follow Romulus Pendragon as he whole world unravels around him, taking him to a place beyond his wildest imagination. Humanity's collective darkness given ground for him to walk on, and a bloodthirsty Count eager to have him for dinner. Not to mention a witchhunt back home, Rome's plate is already full, and people keep adding on. There is much to this world, but do not open your heart fully, this tale is a tragedy.

The Raconteur brings you back to Earth 668, so you can watch as Mark Monroe, aka the Recluse, takes on his next biggest challenge. Rancor is back on the streets, and seems to have only gotten more advanced, the Figurehead is still giving orders despite being locked up... right, and a new villain that seems to recall the Recluse, despite Mark not knowing him. The Recluse will be pushed to his limits, he'll bend but he will never break. This city is under his protection, its time all these crooks learn that.

Kinky Friendman 1944-2024In the summer of 2021, Kinky Friedman invited me into his home at Echo Hill Ranch; and graciously let me interview him. We spoke for 3 hours. We had shots. We laughed. He shared stories, and he  played (live) a song he had written just the night before. (Banjo, Sophie, and Me).Even though I did not "know" him, he had an impact on me. I shared my experience of that day with anyone who would listen. He let me play four of his songs, when I released that interview. He even PREFERRED that I use the Willie Nelson version of one of them. He was Kind.He was hilarious.He was rough, brash, sincere, & vulnerable.I have thought of my time with him often & will carry those hours with me forever. His interview is some of "my" best work. His 2 part episode rises above most of my endeavors. I have combined them for you (the listener) here.Thank you, Kinkster.Rest easy. -Steve

There was a rumor floating around that David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101 was going to be in town for an event at Wild Turkey. We figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if he would be willing to join us for a conversation. We knew it was a long shot, but when he said "yes," we couldn't believe it. So, this week, we present a wide ranging conversation with the unofficial mayor of Wild Turkey, Mr. David Jennings. In the episode, you will hear about his journey is whiskey, his unabashed love for Wild Turkey, and you'll get insider info on everything that went into making Raconteur Rye a reality. On top of all of that, Kenny prepares one of the most epic blinds in Mash Up history. This is the longest episode we've ever released, but it is well worth it.

Over the past couple weeks, you've heard us talking about the WoodWork Collective and David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101. What do you get when you mix the palate and bourbon prowess of David Jennings with the good folks over at the WoodWork Collective? Well...it's none other than Raconteur Rye! The recently released, limited edition, straight rye whiskey is a blend of three different/expertly finished types of 95/5 MGP rye: traditional new charred oak, cured toasted oak barrel 48 months (air dried), and finally, a mizunara barrel that once held 16 year old Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. These three liquids were expertly married to create the inaugural release of Raconteur Rye. But, what does it taste like? You'll have to listen to find out. This week, the guys enlist an AI bot to help with pronunciation of the brand name and laugh their way through another session of serious whiskey conversation. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky TW: https://twitter.com/themashupky Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Visit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your order Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 18, 2023 is: raconteur • ra-kahn-TER • noun A raconteur is someone who excels in telling anecdotes. // A bona fide raconteur, Paola can turn even mundane experiences into hilariously entertaining stories. See the entry > Examples: “He [filmmaker and author Kenneth Anger] lit and shot and cut images so that no matter how beautiful each was on its own, you had to ingest the totality like a potion and let it do its work if you wanted to get anything out of it. Most viewers weren't interested in his kind of visual poetry, recognizing him mainly as a raconteur.” — Matt Zoller Seitz, Vulture, 27 May 2023 Did you know? If you're a sage of sagas, a bard of ballads, or a pro in prose, you may have lost count of the accounts you've recounted. Some might call you a recounter, but as a master of narrative form you may find that recounter lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. Sure, it has a cool story—it traces back to the Latin verb computere, meaning “to count”—but so do many words: compute and computer, count and account, and neither last nor least, raconteur, a singsong title better fit for a whimsical storyteller. English speakers borrowed raconteur from French in the early 19th century.
