Ashley Benson rose to fame on Pretty Little Liars, but her latest role in the psychological thriller McVeigh pushes her into darker, more emotionally charged territory. Based on the story of Timothy McVeigh, the film explores the lead-up to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing through a fictional relationship at its center. Filming was an experience that demanded she stay grounded—both mentally and physically.

Now a new mom and the creator of Ash by Ashley Benson, her cult-favorite fragrance line, Ashley joins Scent World host Marianne Mychaskiw to talk scent, self-care, and showing up more fully for herself. She opens up about embracing slower nights, more intentional rituals, and beauty routines that actually feel like her.

Tune in for:

• The one scent that helped her recover from her darkest role
• Her non-negotiable nightly ritual (even at midnight)
• The perfume she puts on her baby every morning
• Why she’s undoing years of red carpet beauty habits
• The one makeup rule she now lives by
