On this week’s ‘On The Scent’ podcast: Suzy & Nicola say ‘Hello sunshine and hope!’
This week, ‘On The Scent’ Jasmine Award-winning podcasters Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn are loving - and living for - those moments when the sun properly shines this spring. It almost (whisper it) feels like summer might well be close to knocking on the door. However, if grey skies meteorological or metaphorical are plaguing you currently, we’ve bottles of sunshine and hope in scented form to bring a smile to your face…
Discussing how spraying a perfume really can brighten your day, an incredible train trip through the English countryside while smelling an historic fashion house’s new fragrances, and a whole wardrobe of soul-uplifting scents; merely listening to this episode is bound to put a spring back in your step. Though obviously, we suggest maximum sunshine immersion by seeking out the scents they recommend in the show, which include:
Laura Ashley Joy of Primrose and Wild Woodland, Lush Fresh As, Acqua di Parma Buongiorno La Collezione, Farina 1709 Original Eau de Cologne, and Olfactive O New Earth among others.
Craving the sunshine, or need some hope to hang on to…?

Are you a regular listener? We know we’re biased, but any perfume-lover who isn’t tuning in on a regular basis is missing out. On The Scent podcast was part of the inspiration for this website (and our magazine): a podcast destination for anyone fascinated by fragrance, or keen to learn more. A place where perfume snobbery is stripped away, and fragrance is accessible to all.
What began as a monthly sniff-in on the Outspoken Beauty podcast soon became so popular in its own right (and with so many listeners sending in questions and asking for more), that On The Scent just had to go weekly – this time on its own perfumed platform! Today, the podcast regularly attracts over 40,000 listeners per show.
Encompassing everything from icons and all-time classics to what’s new on the high street via the more niche indie brands, beauty broadcaster and columnist Nicola Bonn and award-winning fragrance journalist and expert Suzy Nightingale give personalised perfume prescriptions, describing fragrances in such an intoxicating way you can almsot smell them and help navigate the thousands of scents out there to find the truly incredible ones. Also, expect interviews with well-known figures, delving into their favourite scents of all time, and opportunities to get to know some of the most exciting perfumers in the world.
