In this Fragrance Friday episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with Daniela Carrasco, founder of the luxury fragrance house Linen Tutu. With a background in clinical aromatherapy and independent perfumery training, Daniela shares how scent became her way of translating time, emotion, and memory into artistic expression. Each fragrance in her debut collection is inspired by a specific hour and emotional state—blending storytelling with olfactory design.

Daniela discusses how Linen Tutu bridges simplicity and softness, science and sentiment. From the energizing Up @ 1 to the reflective Afterthought @ 7, every scent is crafted to evoke a moment in time—anchoring the wearer in presence. Dr. Ekta reflects on her own emotional response to Afterthought, a scent born during the pandemic and designed to embody gratitude, grief, and stillness.

The conversation also dives into Daniela’s approach to sustainability and creativity through constraint. She explains the challenges and rewards of working with bio-based botanicals and why emotional resonance matters more than trend-chasing. With Linen Tutu, fragrance becomes more than a product—it’s a personal ritual, a quiet invitation to slow down and reconnect.

For those intrigued by niche fragrance, emotional wellness, or the future of scent design, this episode is an intimate, thoughtful exploration of the power of perfume to shape how we experience time and memory.
