The Beauty of Scent, Scrutinized for Pleasure

Perfumer interview series starting soon!

Very shortly, I will begin a new series on my blog which will consist of interviews with perfumers I feel are important, talented and add something unique to the world of perfume. Some of them I will know personally, others not so much, but I can't wait to satisfy my curiosity about all the things I've always wanted to ask them. I think it will prove to be entertaining and enlightening for you too, dear readers.

Mandy Aftel, giving us Stevie Nicks-style realness

First up will be my two favorite Californians: Mandy Aftel of Aftelier Perfumes, natural perfumer extraordinaire and all-around great friend, and then the slightly naughty proprietress of Opus Oils, Kedra Hart. Okay, maybe she's a bit more than slightly naughty. I will be celebrating with Kedra a big anniversary for her and a big launch. Mandy will lend some fascinating insight into her creative process and ideas about what perfume means to her.

Kedra Hart, obviously up to something here

Stay tuned!

  8. Joanne: It's already been fun for me, if everything goes how I'd like it to, the series will continue on indefinitely. Until I run out of great perfumers, anyway. :)

  9. So looking forward to this -- it's one of my favourite aspects of learning about perfume, especially when the engagement is with an intelligent interviewer.
