Show Notes
Audrey Robinovitz is a fragrance writer, critic, Diptyque shop girl, and honestly, a perfume obsessive who matches my freak. Today we chat about everything from the difference between Olivier Pescheux's Diptyque and Olivia Giacobetti's, to the role scent plays in various religions, to our collective breaking point with fantasy accords (and so much more)!

Since we last spoke, MIT Scientist-turned-Beauty-Founder Jasmina Aganovic has been up to A LOT. Like, oh I don't know, attempting to challenge everything we think we know about BO and the deodorant industry???! Through her newest product, Base Scent, Jasmina asks: What if deodorizing isn't the point? What if instead, we could just odorize all the good stuff?

LEGEND, ICON, FOUNDER KILIAN HENNESSY is in the Perfume Room this week! Heir to the Hennessy dynasty, Kilian has given new meaning to the family name: PERFUME. Founded almost two decades ago, Kilian Parfums was one of the early luxury niche brands to emerge, and one that's shaped and laid the blueprint for so many brands that have followed.
