Next Episode: 128. Following Her Nose All the Way To The Dream Job (w/ Perfumer Margaux Le Paih Guerin)

We're celebrating Valentine's Day with Master Perfumer Honorine Blanc, a perfumer especially renowned for her sensual and addictive fragrances. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, modern perfumery has two eras: B.H. and A.H. (that is, before Honorine and After), because Honorine quite literally invented a texture in perfume that before her, didn't exist.

We discuss what makes a scent a 'date night scent,' how to create sensuality and texture in perfume, what it means to be a Master Perfumer, the most important advice she shares with young perfumers, and what she learned from her greatest mentors, Carlos Benaïm and Sophia Grosjman.

Add this one to the list of canon Perfume Room eps, pls n thanks.
