A deep dive into a single and singular novel. Float away on the tide of interpretations of scent and story.


Trying to describe what it’s like to have such an in depth conversation with Suzy Nightingale, is a little like nailing jelly to a tree. Suzy is a multi-award winning fragrance writer, currently writing for The Perfume Society’s magazine ‘The Scented Letter’, co-host of one of my favourite fragrance podcast ‘On the Scent’ and the ultimate perfume prescription giver. Apart from being hugely knowledgeable about fragrance, Suzy has written many a pairing article. This is part one of a two part conversation, as we were having too much of a good time to keep it short and simple
