Our Halloween ‘Scented Story’ Special episode is here!Each day, for a week, Suzy and Nicola took it in turns to write a new section of a spooky tale told via photographs, videos, music and poetic descriptions of perfumes specially selected for this creative exploration of fragrance.Read the full spooky story (and experience the fully immersive nature of our collaborative tale) in the ‘Scented Story’ highlights circle beneath our Instagram Bio: @onthescentpodcast Where will they take you, and which scents would YOU be tempted to explore, we wonder…?

There are SO many new vanilla fragrances out there that we decided we needed to devote an entire episode to exploring just some of them. Banish sickly sweet thoughts and get ready to embrace this new era of vanillas - many using brand new extractions available to perfumers, which allow a more nuanced, even surprisingly ‘green’ twist to what you might expect.Some of these vanilla scents had Nicola and Suzy VERY excited, indeed… which of them have *YOU* tried? Or are there any other new vanilla fragrances you think we should get our noses on? We discuss…@electimusslondon Vanilla Edesia @and_fragrance måd @matierepremiereparfums Vanilla Powder@dsanddurga Deep, Dark Vanilla @dolcegabbana_beauty Devotion@parfumsdemarly Althaïr @kayali Oudgasm Vanilla Oud | 36@ellisbrooklyn Vanilla Milk@official_houseofvision Fortitude @les_indemodables_parfums Vanille Havane (available in U.K. @sainte.cellier) @burberrybeauty Goddess @maisonnoirfragrance Somnia 517

[Sponsored Episode] We were so delighted to partner with @homesense_uk for this episode, which has us exploring the aisles of Homesense and discovering the incredible range of scented candles (at *amazing* prices!) they have on offer there. PS: Did you know that Homesense is part of the TK Maxx family? So if you’ve ever found some scented candles there, just wait until you seen the HUGE aisles of fragrant possibilities at Homesense! (Suzy literally squealed. Very loudly. She’d still be browsing now if her taxi hadn’t arrived). Suzy recently hosted a customer event at Homesense with none other than THE @rylan, who’s been appointed the Scent Sommelier for Homesense (and with good reason: turns out he’s just as scent-obsessed as we are, and *really* knows his stuff). He told her what his favourite scents of all time are (and how he scents each room) so of course we share that info with you, too…We’re always talking about the importance of our sense of smell, and how vital it can be to our everyday lives. So, in this week’s show we’re chatting about how we can incorporate scent into our homes, and how you can choose the right candle (or mixture of scents) to elevate your mood and set a scented scene. AND Suzy chooses some candles as gifts for Nicola, and talks through why she selected each one (and the best types of candles to give if you’re not sure of someone’s favourite scents); plus we’ll be revealing the nations favourite scents, as shown in a special survey Homesense conducted (which ones would YOU have chosen…?)

This week Nicola & Suzy are both obsessed with new (and new to them) fragrances that have already earned compliments galore - some of which are true olfactory obsessions (as they can’t stop thinking about them!) We’ve got some wonderful feedback - including a listener giving *Nicola* a #perfumeprescription - and a plethora of suggestions of perfumes for listeners seeking scents which: evoke freedom via an adventurous car journey / last longer than a beloved (but fleeting) rose musk / are the best to sample of a delicious niche house / are woody but right for right now in Australian summer.Phew!We discuss…The scent (from her recent trip to Florence for @pittifragranze) Suzy can’t stop thinking about:@timothyhanedition Mad Love What we’ve been wearing:Nicola:@millerharris Myrica Muse @olfactive_o Skin Suzy: @guerlain Tobacco Honey @sanajardin gift sets (luxurious new gift sets)MYSTICAL 5ML SPRAY TRIO: £39 (Selfridges) CELESTIAL 10ML ROLLERBALL DUO: £49 (Liberty) @bdkpsrfumsparis Pas ce Soir Extrait (Listener feedback - giving Nicola a prescription!)@aemium Silence de CalanquesListener Prescriptions:@timothyhanedition On the Road@4160tuesdays Freeway @mayanjie Voyeur Verde@olfactiveo Skin @jimmychoo Rose Passion@parfumsdemarly Delina @montale Arabians TonkaAmber MuskDark VanillaChocolate GreedyStarry Nights Vanille AbsoluRoses Musk@goldfield_and_banks_australia Wood Infusion (10ml travel spray available)@goldfield_and_banks_australia Silky Woods@mapoftheheart Black Heart V.2

In this one, we catch up with Nicola’s birthday celebrations (and the unexpected smells one encounters in a yurt), plus the JOYOUS just-launched fragrances we’ve been sniffing, some very (ahem!) uplifting listener feedback; and autumnal scented candle suggestions for someone who loathes pumpkin spice….We discuss:@marcantoinebarrois Ganymede@matierepremiereparfums Vanilla Powder@barbour Coastal For Her@barbour Coastal For Him@lamontanacandles fragrance First Light@lamontanacandles fragrance Divine Sunset @lamontanacandles fragrance Night Star @olfactive_o Citrus@olfactive_o Skin @arianagrande Cloud Pink Listener Prescriptions @jomalonelondon Myrrh & Tonka candle@jomalonelondon Whisky & Cedarwood candle (part of the Huntsman Collection)@maisonmargielafragrances Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireside candle@boy__smells Cedar Stack

Chris Yu @chrisyusmells is a fellow fragrance fanatic and pillar of the perfume world, having worked alongside such notable names as Francis Kurkdjian, Olivier Polge, Lyn Harris, Sophie Labbé and Dominique Ropion – and fortuitously enough, first met his business partner, Laurent Delafon, in the Liberty perfumery department…. Now having co-founded the fragrance house of Ostens@ostens_official, to bring truly exquisite materials in scents by top perfumers, straight to customers - we met up with Chris to discover his life in fragrances, and explore the LEGENDARY lifetime’s fragrance collection he keeps in his office… Chris mentions:@calvinklein Eternity@zara Popeline Blanche@helmutlang Eau de Cologne (discontinued)@helmutlang Cuiron@ostens_official Rose Oil Isparta Eau de Parfum@curionoir Tobacco Night https://www.curionoir.com@bvlgari Eau Parfumée Green Tea @diptyque John Galliano room spray @prada Infusuon d’Iris @bondno9ny Fire Island

We suggest you settle down with a cuppa for this episode because it’s a MEGA-SPRITZATHON of scents, encompassing Suzy’s trip to Florence for the fragrance industry trade fair and international showcase, @pittifragranze. We take a look at some of Suzy’s favourite new / upcoming niche brands here (and after she’s properly gone through her notes and 500,000 photos) will sniff through more newness next time. Also, we’re answering listener’s questions with #perfumeprescriptions - from divorce to difficult noses. Which of these do YOU like the sound of…?

This week we are VERY excitedly sniffing the one-off bespoke fragrances that @bedeauxx perfumer Amanda Beadle so thoughtfully created for @outspokenbeauty’s kids, Poppy & Louis. (Seriously, though, how lucky are they?!) There’s also a much-anticipated review of the NEW @fredericmalle fragrance by Jean-Claude Ellena, a sneaky sniff of the soon to be launched @parfumsdemarly, our time at THE rooftop perfume party of the summer (and an INCIDENT WITH A PINE NUT & SELFRIDGES BAG which reduced Nicola & Suzy to a giggling fit). All this plus what we’ve been wearing, and your always fascinating questions answered with #perfumeprescriptions - including a listener who’s trying to track down a mysteriously minty/eucalyptus scent that lingers in certain parts of London (no, not THAT. Or that). We discuss:@jomalonelondon Lime Basil & Mandarin layered with Wood Sage & Sea Salt@fredericmalle Heaven Can Wait@parfumsdemarly Althaïr@granadobrazil and their TWO new London stores, in Regent Street & Ham Yard Village, showcasing BOSSA created by @cecilezarokianparfumeurListener Perfume Prescriptions:@jomalonelondon Velvet Rose & Oud@sanajardin Incense Water@maisonfranciskurkdjian Oud Satin Mood@joloves Eucalyptus and Cedar [email protected] Mint & Tonic@loccitane_uk_ire Mint Verbena@perfumerh Rhubarb@millerharris Hydra Figue@roosandroos Globulus@fredericmalle Synthetic Jungle@rojadove 1819@fischersund No. 23@lancomeofficial Rose Peonia@byredo Rose of No Man’s Land

With @outspokenbeautynicola now back from her holidays, she and @fragrantmaven are reunified in this first episode of a brand new season. THREE! Can you believe it?! Amidst frantic catch-ups, there’s a frenzy of excitement over new fragrances, and a debate about dupes (continued from Suzy’s guest appearance on Radio 4s You & Yours programme).Plus, there’s Perfume Prescriptions for listeners looking for a really long-lasting scent, a fragrance to aid meditation, and a mother desperately trying to prise their kid away from their best (expensive!) perfume!We discuss…@whind Néroli Bronzé@jomalonelondon English Pear & Sweet Pea@lordsfragrancehouse Big Sur candle@avon_uk Far Away Beyond the Moon@tomfordbeauty Neroli Portofino@nuxe_uk Aftersun@thameenfragrance Fanfare @chanel.beauty Mademoiselle [email protected] Le Lion@ilapothecary Speak Your Truth@ilapothecary Beat the Blues@ruthmastenbroekperfume Dagian@thameenfragrance Fanfare@paul_schutze Tears of Eros@marcantoinebarrois Ganymede@marcantoinebarrois Encelade @e11venfrageance (now at @spacenk)@nancymeilandparfums GAIA attar@veroniquegabai Aroma Soul@experimentalperfumeclub Tonka SesameAroma Labs Cold Pressed Sesame Oil £5.90 for 100ml (available on Amazon) perhaps to try using as a body oil & layering other fragrances if they like?

We were so excited to partner with @avon_uk to create this immersive episode, in which we get to try the BRAND NEW Avon fragrance - Far Away Beyond the Moon.We’ll be travelling via our noses and diving deep into the creation of this fragrance by talking to Avon’s Head of Perfumery, Victor Costa, listening to the fragrant dreamscapes Suzy & Nicola were whisked to while wearing it and hearing some of the Outspoken Beauty Panellists’ impressions of wearing this scent.But wait, did you know Avon’s history dates back to 1886? A future-forward company even then, they began when a door-to-door book salesman named David H. McConnell began giving free fragrance samples, but he quickly ditched the books when women went crazy for the scents and demanded more.Employing a female sales force, and empowering them to create their own destiny (many earning an independent wage for the first time), Avon’s passion for beautiful yet affordable perfumes has never wavered!Just some of the top name noses who’ve created fragrances for Avon include… Maurice Roucel, Olivier Cresp, Calice Becker, Honorine Blanc, Pierre Negrin, Antoine Lee, Fanny Bal & Alberto Morillas.Built around the mysterious Belle de Nuit flower (which only blooms at night), Far Away Beyond the Moon is Parfum strength - all ripe cherries rippled through with sumptuously radiant musks - overlapping shades of midnight, a velvety sky sprinkled with stars, and silvery moonlight reflected in calmly lapping waves. It certainly took us far away, to some very unexpected places… and in this episode we invite you to join us in the immersive, dream-like scentscapes it beckoned us to explore…And we know price shouldn’t matter, but this is SO affordable: just £16 for 50ml Parfum / Samples 50p!We couldn’t resist visiting some of the other fragrances in the Beyond family, too: Far Away Beyond, which laps your skin (but better) in milky sandalwood, a caress of cashmere musk and snuggle-me-closer comfort; and the O.G, the original Far Away, which is a holiday in a bottle of sun warmed skin, blissed-out exotic breeziness and golden beaches stretching for miles… heaven! The question is: where will @avon_uk Avon Far Away Beyond the Moon take YOU? We can’t wait for you to smell it and tell us!Meanwhile, make yourself comfortable, sit back and relax, and listen while you allow your fragrant daydreams to begin…

This week we're doing a mini episode covering some of the things that we've been loving and answering some more of your fabulous fragrant questions.Here are some of the fragrances that we mention during the episode:@kenzopsrfums Jungle L'Elephant @esteelauderuk Cinnabar @esteelauderuk Youth Dew@fredericmalle Musc Ravageur @dunhill Moroccan AmberJean Patou Vacances (£27 instead of £110 from @directcosmetics) @ostens_official Jasmine Absolute @ostens_official Rose Oil Isparta

In this episode Nicola and Suzy are exploring all the wonderful ways that you can have fun with fragrance.This episode was inspired by an activity that Nicola did with her children Poppy and Louis where she asked them to design a perfume each based on a place/activity/aspect of life that they love. They designed the bottles, the ingredients and the colour of the juice and you'll hear them talking about their scents right at the end of the episode.During the podcast Suzy and Nicola also discuss:Books about smellThinking of New Words to Describe SmellsGoing on a Smell Walk Creating a Smell MapAnd much more...For a full factfile brimming with links, ideas and everything Suzy and Nicola talk about on the podcast come and join our Patreon community here: The On The Scent Podcast Patreon Page

What are the fragrances you reach for when recovering from illness, an anxiety attack, or even during a stay in hospital? In this episode we’re discussing the perfumes that help us feel better, and delving in to the post bag (okay, DMs) to explore requests from listeners who are desperately seeking nostalgic, now sadly discontinued, scents - Faberge’s BABE, Impulse’s Spice Girls and Parfumerie Generale Bois Blond’s.

In this episode we're chatting about Nicola's jaunt to Paris and the fragrant excitement that the city offers. We also have a beautifully moving message to share with you and are exploring the world of cosy and mossy scents.What We’ve Been Wearing Nicola:@MaisonLouisMarie No 4 Bois de Balincourt (perfume oil) @sanctuaryspa Golden Sandalwood collection (particularly the mousse to oil product!) Suzy:@vilhelm_parfumerie Darling Nikki (sample was in this month’s Liberty Beauty Drop box) @millerharris L’Air de Rien @aesopskincare Eidesis The most beautiful and moving message on our Patreon from Joan:“I want to thank you for your wonderful podcast. My mother died last week. I moved in with her 7 years ago to take care of her because she suffered from dementia. Our last conversation was about the perfume she wore in the 60’s and 70’s. We laughed because neither of us could remember. It was the perfect last conversation and I have you both to thank because had i not been listening to your podcast, who knows if our final conversation would have been about our love of fragrance and I doubt we would have laughed about what we both wore in the 80’s. Opium! Everyone knew we had arrived wearing Opium. Thank you Suzy and Nicola. Thank you for reminding me about the wonders of fragrance and the conversations those wonders bring to us all.”Joan(When we asked Joan if we could share this message, she said: “Thank you for your kind message. I owe you and Nicola so much. You gave me my last and happy conversation with my mother, and I am forever grateful to you both. Absolutely you can read my message on your podcast. It’s a celebration of the power of fragrance and how it can bring happiness to us all.”)Listener’s Perfume Prescriptions: @parlemoideparfums Milky Musk / 39 (Stocked in @shopsaison Melbourne)@diptyque L’Eau Papier@papillon_artisan_pergumes Anubis (Stocked in @lknu_parfumerie LKNU PARFUMERIE, Emporium Melbourne, Level 1/287 Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia]@mirrorwater.earth Smooth Body Oil@urbanveda Soothing Body Lotion @tothefairestlondon Élan Vital@perfumerhlondon [email protected] Voyeur Verde

What’s in store this week?Well… Nicola’s been wearing @matierepremiereparfums Parisian Musc (which she feels gave her the edge to come joint first in the Mother’s Race at her son’s sport’s day!)We’re also reminiscing (with some recorded snippets) on our recent On the Scent Podcast x @themerchantofvenice event @harrods (so brilliantly organised by @kga_beauty_pr) featuring Nicola Pozzani @yogii.perfumer - The Merchant of Venice’s Creative Director - where so many of our lovely listeners joined us to hear (and smell!) the history of Venice’s perfume trade, and the inspiration for three incredible fragrances: The regally opulent Venetian Jade, mysterious gilded glamour of Golden Regatta (launching September) and the utterly divine, incense-laden Queen of the Night. Oh and we released our inner goddesses, too, which we don’t think Harrods fragrance hall was ready for! Suzy can’t stop thinking about some of the scents she sniffed at the @phoenixbeautyltd Press ShowcaseHighlights include…@betterworldfragrancehouse (Candles inspired by Drake’s scent memories!)Carby Musk (Nicola’s favourite, sniffed at Harrods), Good Thoughts, & Suzy’s fave: Muskoka.Other highlights Suzy smelled at the showcase:@philipppleinofficial Philipp Plein Fatale (coming to Boots in August)@chopard Iris Malika@bdkparfumsparis Vanille Leather /Creme de Cuir.Our Listener Prescription this week is from @thegirlwiththewavyhair - looking for her unconventional wedding fragrance!Suzy suggested:@escentricmolecules H01@maisoncrivelli Oud Maracuja @manosgerakinis Rose Poetique Until next time, happy listening (and sniffing!)

WHAT a week it’s been! It’s felt more like a month, given the sheer number of fragrant events. From Suzy meeting Jon Bon Jovi and Dominique Ropion, to attending mind-blowing masterclasses, smelling some truly exciting new fragrances, and dinner with Aurélien Guichard and the Matiere Premiere team (while smelling their *top secret* new fragrance, launching early Autumn) there’s hardly time to pack it all in (so we’ll continue the explorations next week).

Having mentioned this lovely Somerset-based natural perfumery on the show previously, it was time to hear directly from Emily Cameron (who co-founded Ffern with her brother, Owen Mears), learn much more about the ingredients they use, and their seasonal, sustainable and slow-perfumery ethos.Walking around this haven of tranquility, you soon forget you’re in the heart of Soho (Just off Carnaby Street!) as you smell the fragrances in the archive, marvel at the plethora of natural materials. Think fossil-embedded stones, a desk made from the same mycelium as their packaging, soft chalky colours of paintwork, sea grass flooring and pale woods. Even soft strips of algae (which felt like vintage suede!) make for a textural, sensorial delight, and you can sip their herbal teas (which also follow the seasonal ingredients of the scents) while watching the beautiful videos they created to evoke the landscape they are so inspired by. We hope you enjoy this immersive, sensorially soothing episode, and urge you to visit the next time you’re in London. Suzy & Nicola left smiling, feeling totally restored, and ready to face the rest of the week….Ffern 23 Beak Street, London W1F 9RSFfern has a waiting list to join their ledger, and if you submit your email, they’ll let you know when a space becomes available to join. Then, you will be sent seasonally beautiful scents quarterly (a sample vial alongside a full sized bottle - you simply try the sample and keep the full bottle if you like it, or send it back if you don’t. You can also skip a season or pause your membership at any time).For much more information (and the gorgeous imagery and videos) see their website:https://ffern.coDo also listen to their own monthly accompanying podcast (linked on their site), which explores the seasons, foraging, and talks (again, so soothingly) of sunsets, the land, nature in all its glories. #onthescentpodcast #ffern #ffernfragrance #naturalperfumery #fragrance #scent #nature #perfumery #landscape #seasonal #slowperfumery

In this episode Suzy tells us all about her incredible experience at the Esxence, the huge fragrance fair in Milan. Nicola and Suzy also have a general life and fragrance catch up and we read some of your incredibly moving and life affirming messages.Here's what we mention during the episode:What we’ve been wearing…Nicola’s been wearing:@penhaligon’s_london Highgrove Bouquet @ormondejayne Levant Suzy’s been wearing:@trudon Mortel@thameen Fanfare @maisoncrivelli Oud Maracuja*****Best of @esxenceofficial - Part One:@boujeebougies Eau de Boujees Queen, Verdant, GildedQueer2 NEW candles: Tart and Thorny (Sign up to their newsletter to hear when they’re launched: https://boujeebougies.com) @lejardinretrouve Osmanthe Liu Yuan @ellakparfumsparis Musc K (coming out later this year)@electimusslondon celestially inspired fragrance by Christian Provenzano (coming later this year)@fdo_parfum Francesca dell’Oro [email protected] …& the pea@fugazzifragrances Cash Flower

Suzy recorded this episode in scented snippets while visiting the @esxenceofficial trade fair in Milan. A showcase and meeting point for press, niche perfumery, retail buyers and distributors, this was the place to be (and sniff!) not only for what’s happening in the fragrance world right now, but what we can look forward to finding out more about in the future. Suzy spoke to Pia Long @piamoomin - perfumer and Co-Founder (with @nickrgilbert) of @olfiction, and the brand @boujeebougies…. Who were showing their new FRAGRANCES, ‘Eau de Boujees’ and two new candles (and new vessels!) Incredibly excitingly, Suzy even had something to do with one of the fragrances!@manos_getakinis was the next fragrant chat captured here - learning of his new limited edition fragrance, Citrine, and rhapsodising about the delicious MEΘEXIS. We do wish there were time to record everything that happened at the fair (well maybe not *everything*) but we’ll catch up with further insights and more in-depth interviews in future discussions on the show. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy this sneak peek into the perfume world…

In this episode we were overJOYed (sorry) to be joined by Joy Issacs - the effervescent and visionary founder of @argentum. Starting by following her dream (literally) into science-led silver-infused skincare, Joy more recently reconnected with her fragrant side, to work with a perfumer developing 12 incredible scents. You can discover these by allowing yourself to be drawn towards one of 12 ‘Archetype’ cards, or simply by smelling them all. As we discover, Suzy had a ‘fragrance reading’ and became rather emotional at her perfumed pick of the pack. But as always - we like to go right back, and find out the fragrances that meant most to Joy throughout her life….Suzy chose:@argentum Caregiver (but also loved Magician)Joy mentions:@diorbeauty Joy@yslbeauty Opium@oldspice Old Spice@brut_for_men Brut original@diorbeauty Dune@jomalonelondon Verbenas of Provence@clarinsuk Eau Dynamisante@armanibeauty Acqua di Gio@penhaligons_london Quercus@argentum Become@viviennewestwood Boudoir Ltd Edition bottle
