Making Scents Make Sense

Barbara Herman is a perfume lover turned author turned perfume brand founder. Her adoration for vintage fragrances has really informed the style of fragrances she creates alongside perfumer Antoine Lie for her brand ERIS Parfums. Named after the goddess of mischief and troublemaking, ERIS is a brand that subverts expectations of what a fragrance can be, pushing the boundaries and leading to olfactory excitement. In this episode Barbara and I talk about her love for vintage scent, her creative partnership with Antoine Lie, and how perfume can be political.You can find out more about ERIS Parfums on the brand's website: https://erisparfums.com/Follow the brand on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erisparfums/Barbara's emotional connection scents are Chanel Nº19 and Baghari by Robert Piguet.---This episode of Making Scents Make Sense is sponsored by Kaorium.

Very few fragrance houses can say they've been in business for almost 300 years, but Floris London can. Dating back to 1730, Floris London has been a fixture at 89 Jermyn Street in London for 9 generations. For almost three centuries they've been making fragrances and scented luxuries for a customer base that includes kings, queens, prime minsters, actors and musicians. In this episode, I speak with Edward Bodenham, a ninth-generation member of the Floris family and the brand's current Perfume Director.

Dimitri Weber is not your typical fragrance brand founder. Born in Belgium, he worked in the fragrance industry at brands like Cartier and YSL before finding himself making a home all the way down under in Australia. For his brand, the unique Goldfield & Banks, it's the natural botanicals of the Australian continent that form his inspiration. In this episode Dimitri and I chat all about his adopted home and how its flora and fauna, which often feel alien and unique, serve as constant inspiration. We also chat about the brand's most recent launch, the delightfully rich, powdery and textural Tales of Amber, and how he and perfumer Suzy le Helley dove deep into their olfactive imagination to reimagine the scent of New Zealand ambergris.You can find out more about Dimitri and Goldfield & Banks on the brand's website: https://www.goldfieldandbanks.com/Follow the brand on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goldfield_and_banks_australia/Dimitri's emotional connection scents are Acqua di Parma (assorted), Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens, Eau Sauvage by Dior, and Eau Dynamisante by Clarins.---This episode of Making Scents Make Sense is sponsored by Kaorium.
