EP 29: Brianna Arps, Moodeaux- Pioneering Clean Luxury Fragrance

Failure is never the end. You can turn losses into wins.

In today's episode, I chatted with Brianna Arps, Founder of MOODEAUX, a clean luxury fragrance label that combines scent and skincare. After being unexpectedly laid off from her dream job as a journalist, Brianna was depressed. Life as she knew it took a drastic turn, and she turned to a daily self-care routine of applying fragrance to uplift her and ease her stress.

During her routine, she realized that putting on perfume always made her feel better. The simple whiff of a familiar fragrance served as a friendly reminder that she was still worthy! Brianna’s discovery led her to research the connection between scents, memory, and emotions. From her research, she noticed two gaps: there weren’t many Black founders in the fragrance industry, and there was limited information about the connection between scent and its impact on emotions.

This episode will inspire you! You will learn about the power of connecting with your consumers, making your skills transferable, and making the best of disappointments.
