I did my first perfume making workshop - was with @vitsley.bsky.social who has some wild native and Asian botanicals I haven’t experienced before. I made something ‘interesting’ with Anise Myrtle, tropical fruits and woods, a really green rose and sparkling incense. The wait is terrible.

Do you like roleplaying games? I do. So let's talk about how you can make scent part of that experience. Jinx from @heroscent.bsky.social and @strangefirefumery.bsky.social offered up a joyous chat that's full of geekery. www.paperbackperfumes.com/episodes/lil... #dnd #books #fragrance #podcast

If you haven't had a chance to have a listen to my chat with Anh from Connection Parfumerie about the weird, wild and wonderful fragrance of poison inspired scents - then give it a whirl. It's all based around a fabulous read from Kat Khavari #perfumesky www.paperbackperfumes.com/episodes/poi...

Sometimes editing an episode of the podcast takes a few days. Sitting down to do a little editing, hit play and the first sentences is '... Amouage goes balls to the wall...' I have no recollection how I got to that statement. Yes, I am an exceedingly refined and highly educated human.

I would like to thank @immortalperfumes.bsky.social for completely messing with both mine and my colleagues work day as we desperately try to work out out who in Australia has antique DeVilbiss glass perfume bottles. Librarians research, right?

This weeks' guest on the pod is William from Vallense Fragrance. We chat about the 3 fragrances from their first line, as well as books from Robin Wall Kimmerer @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social and a fable from Aesop. It was a whirlwind of a conversation - so hold onto your hats! #books #perfume

I would never guess that The Story of a Murderer would make me laugh.The book is very entertaining: “Marketplaces stank, the churches stank, it stank beneath the bridges and in the palaces.
