A classic iris revived after 114 years (!) PLUS a plethora of other new launches = a definite new trend. Suzy & Nicola explore…
Presaging one of Suzy’s lead features in the the soon-to-be-published autumn edition of On The Scent magazine, this podcast episode finds Nicola and Suzy nose-deep in new iris launches. You cannot have failed to notice this note is enjoying a perfumed renaissance of late, and together they explore one of the most traditional (and costly) notes in perfumery – now made modern by perfumers exploring it in surprising ways.
From one of the all-time classic iris perfumes launching a new version after 114 years, to another historic house who’s just launched a dashingly debonair iris scent; and a brilliantly affordable iris from a high street shop that’s one of their star buys sofar this year… There’s a lot to love!
(So much so, indeed, there’s a whole Patreon exclusive episode dedicated to the olfactive overflow of other iris scents they’ve fallen for).
Meanwhile, after discussing what they’ve been sniffing lately, and Suzy’s perfume picks from an Australian brand’s stunning new East End boutique; they asked perfume pal Scott (@blublazerguy) to answer a listener’s question about fragrances to wear while visiting Edinburgh.

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.
