On The Scent

This week, you join us for a fragrant journey through a scented sleepover and a quest to find perfect perfumes for an actress playing Lady Macbeth, & a concert pianist (no less!)

We’re talking about the delicate allure of Roger & Gallet Osmanthus, the olfactive grandeur of Amouage Epic Woman, and the operatic drama of Merchant of Venice Maria Callas. We'll also explore the tempestuous beauty of 4160 Tuesdays Tempest Rose and tease an exciting upcoming collaboration with author Joanne Harris.

But that's not all! We tackle two intriguing listener prescriptions that will captivate your imagination. An actress seeks a powerful scent to embody Lady Macbeth on stage, while a pianist desires a fragrance to echo her passionate performance and boost her confidence. From smoky gunpowder to mossy forests, we explore scents that evoke strength, witchery, and wild nature.

Prepare to be spellbound by fragrances that transport you to moonlit covens, ancient ceremonies, and the very essence of power. Whether you're stepping onto the stage or into your own spotlight, this episode promises to awaken your senses and inspire your inner performer.

Don't miss this aromatic adventure that blends intrigue, Shakespeare, music, and the transformative power of perfume. Tune in and let your imagination run wild...

Then there’s two of the most artistically intriguing #listenerprescription questions we’ve ever had: one from Gemma Varnom – an actress soon to play Lady Macbeth, who’s looking for a suitably powerful perfume to wear on stage; and another from a pianist about to give the performance of her life – seeking a scent that might echo the passion of the music while boosting her self-confidence.
