    Canadian born, Netherlands-based perfumer Hiram Green joins me to talk, among other things, being self-taught, natural perfumery, and how being a one person operation challenges the creative process.

  • The Beauty Of Blind Smelling
    Nine different perfumes.
    Five different brands.
    Two people.
    One nose.
    Zero eyes (well, virtually).
    I sent my friend Henna, unidentified samples of perfume from my own collection, so she could smell with no preconceived ideas, unconscious bias, and only her nose to tell her what her brain should like, or not like.
    In this episode some of my favourite perfumes will be judged and ranked, with our own notes compared.
    The perfume brands are L'Artisan Parfumeur, Anatole Lebreton, Serge Lutens, Parfum d'Empire, and Etat Libre d'Orange.
    Please enjoy Henna's YouTube and Instagram accounts here:
