I can’t believe we are now on episode seven of the podcast! Have you ever wondered about how intentional or magical scent can be? Well, this episode is for you! Mason Hainey, a perfumer, is my guest, and we muse on all things smells. We explore the depth of scent and fragrance — the energetics, the ritual, and how to world build using scent. You can learn about Mason below:

Mason Hainey is a perfumer, designer, and the founder of M.HAINEY, where he creates clean, genderless perfumes inspired by nature and modern design. With a focus on transparency and sustainability, Mason approaches scent as ritual — crafting subtle, dimensional blends that evolve with the wearer. His work celebrates both the intimacy of memory and the artistry of fragrance as something we all share.
