Leaning into the heatwave with ‘sunscreen scents’ – warm skin, sunshine & salty breezes
Embracing the heat, and leaning into the ‘Sunscreen Scent’ perfume profile this week, the fragrant duo are following on from the BONUS episode available to Patreon subscribers in which they explored their favourite scented sunscreens. Flipping that fragrant theme on its head, this time it’s all about those solar, ‘holiday in a bottle’ type perfumes, and they find themselves particularly drawn to those with a vintage vibe.
Later in the episode, Nicola answers a listener question from someone who had fallen head over heels for spicy tonka / vanilla fragrances way out of her budget, and seeks affordable scents to satiate this new olfactory obsession…
In this episode they discuss the ‘your skin [with sunscreen] but better’ best-smelling fragrances, including: DIOR La Collection Privé Eden-Roc, Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum, Juliette Has a Gun Sunny Side Up, Tom Ford Soleil Brûlant, and many more!

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.
