In talking with Sondrine Kehoe, perfumer and founder of the independent artisanal fragrance house Cygnet Perfumery, the Podcast explores intimacies - how they can enrich one’s life, how a celebration of these moments can take many forms and what it can look like when we miss the mark for these moments of connection. Through out the podcast we discuss and pair with Cygnet’s heirloom collection and Sondrine’s experiences that went into creating these scents. Cygnet perfumery is based on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia.
