On this week’s ‘On The Scent’ podcast: Suzy & Nicola discuss the best of Barnes Fragrance Fair (& what they can’t stop wearing…)
This week, ‘On The Scent’ Jasmine Award-winning podcasters Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn are discussing the best of Barnes Fragrance Fair 2026, and which fragrances they can’t stop wearing…
Wowie! So many excellent fragrances to get their noses around in this episode, it was difficult to know where to begin. But with so many to explore Suzy and Nicola started with a recap of the recent barnstorming success of Barnes Fragrance Fair. If you were there, this is your perfect opportunity to re-sniff those blotters and samples; and if you weren’t, skip the fragrant FOMO by hearing Suzy’s top perfume picks of the fair, and why she chose them!
Among many of the fragrances Suzy so-adored (and were purchased by the excited crowds) at the fair, Nicola also talks about those scents she just can’t stop wearing right now. Included this week:
Shloksha Soapy Heart, Jorum Studio Risso, NEUNÉRE When All Things Were Divine, To the Fairest Cécile, Beaufort London Fathom V Director’s Cut
…and many more besides!

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.
