On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Matt Berkson, Co-Founder and CEO of Maison Louis Marie, a luxury fragrance house blending botanical heritage with modern clean beauty. What started as a passion project alongside his partner, Marie, has grown into a thriving, non-toxic fragrance brand now available at Sephora, goop, Bergdorf Goodman, Credo, and more—all without outside investment.
In our conversation, Matt shares the inspiration behind Maison Louis Marie, how the brand has grown organically in an industry dominated by legacy players, and why they’ve remained independent while scaling efficiently. We also dive into the power of clean fragrance, what makes scent such an emotional experience, and how Maison Louis Marie is staying ahead in the competitive beauty space.
If you’re an entrepreneur, a clean beauty enthusiast, or simply someone who loves a great fragrance, this episode is full of insights on brand-building, sustainability, and the future of luxury fragrance. Tune in now on The Kara Goldin Show!
