Listen to me fangirl for an hour straight with the nose behind every major fragrance from your childhood: Ann Gottlieb. Ann is as much of a pioneer as she is an institution in the fragrance industry. She is the nose behind fragrance canons like Axe, J’Adore Dior, Marc Jacobs Daisy, Carolina Herrera 212, all of the Calvin Klein fragrances, and honestly, I’m just scratching the surface. Her fragrances range from everything from fine fragrance to body care to home fragrance and more. If you can smell it, she can scent it. In this episode, we discuss the rise of edible fragrances, the vision behind Axe, why J’Adore Dior wouldn’t be created today, the difference in style between French fragrances versus American ones, Ann’s relationship with and tutelage under Estée Lauder, how I need to stop trying to make Giorgio happen, new innovations and trends in fragrance, how Ann got started in this industry and what her advice is to those looking to follow in her footsteps. Trust me: this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, I am joined by fellow Perfume TikToker Emelia O'Toole (@ProfessorPerfume)! Emelia and I try to guess each other's big 3 astrological signs (we're both wrong, lol), and then get into a deep discussion of how much our scent tastes are correlated to our astrological signs & Myers Briggs types. We give each other some new recs, talk about the scents that changed our lives, discuss how our tastes have evolved over time, and overall, I listen in awe as Emelia tells me her life story (which may or may not have been written by Sally Rooney).

In this episode, I chat with Rosie Johnston (aka the Rosie behind by/ Rosie Jane)! We divulge our mutual love of white musk and chat about the inspiration behind each of the seven frags in her line, as well as some of her inspiration for future scents. We also discuss the smells of Rosie's childhood in Australia, what it really means to be a 'clean fragrance,' and of course, because I have zero self-control, I show Rosie my Aussie accent.

Aspen Apothecary is a brand new indie perfume line that combines fragrance and function. How? Because their scents are not only conscious, vegan, and sustainable; they are CBD-INFUSED. The founders say it won’t make you high, but I beg to differ ;) (jk, lol). But for real, their fragrances are not only amazing-smelling, but super calming, and thus, we love. In this episode, I chat with Co-Founder Keta Burke-Williams about her and her sister Kaja’s inspiration, motivation, the process behind creating Aspen Apothecary, the role of CBD in their fragrances, and their advice for anyone who wants to follow in their footsteps. And you know we got Perfume Room listeners that exclusive discount code.

In this episode, we are joined by Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli (!!!). In addition to being an Iron Chef, a judge on Chopped, the host of Supermarket Stakeout, and the Executive Chef of Butter, Alex is also an avid perfume lover. Alex reveals the fragrance she buys in bulk, the one she can't stand, her favorite smells, strongest scent memories, her philosophy of ‘smell THEN tell’, and how her experience as a chef has influenced how she experiences fragrance. Alex's scent descriptions are the ASMR you didn't know you needed. I also give my top 10 scents of the month, and for the Perfume 101, I explain what animalic scents are.

In this episode, I chat with Fur Co-Founders and lifelong BFFs Laura Schubert and Lillian Tung. Fur is a hair grooming company that caters to every part of the body, for every body (& every haircare routine). We chat about stigmas and media narratives surrounding how private parts should look and smell, our own trials and tribulations surrounding pubic hair grooming and aftercare, and how Fur is challenging the status quo. We also discuss Fur’s origins and evolution, the very intentional scents of Fur products, and Laura and Lillian’s dynamic as best friend co-founders.

In this episode, I help comedian, actor, and TikTok superstar Jake Cornell find his new signature scent. Jake was Perfume Room’s first-ever IRL guest(!), so we had the pleasure of testing out 15 different contenders (and giving our unfiltered thoughts about each of them) IRL. If you enjoy how I describe fragrance, wait till you hear Jake. In Perfume 101, I explain the difference between 'clean' versus 'natural' fragrances. And duh, at the end of the episode, Jake walks away with a new signature scent!

In this episode, I chat with one of my best friends — astrology and beauty expert, and also my COUSIN(!), Lauren Rubin! Lauren discusses losing and gaining back her smell due to Covid and how it’s impacted her perfume taste, what she currently wears, and her identity crisis with only liking fragrances she doesn’t feel match her outward identity. I give Lauren some new scent reccos, and we talk about, um, feet.
