Talk about varied - this week’s episode goes from a ‘posh banana’ Brazilian carnival in a bottle Nicola experienced at a vibrantly fun perfume pop-up in Liberty, to an extraordinary, burning, bloodied rose Suzy’s entranced by (don’t worry - it’s not as scary as it sounds!)

The show also features two incredibly inspirational women - one who’s created her own fragrance brand to reflect a life lived in scent and adventure, and another who’s bringing the playfulness back into perfumery by allowing you (and your friends) to attend a blending workshop via Zoom - to create your own fragrance with her stunning and easy-to-use accords.

PLUS there’s all the new fragrances Suzy & Nicola are wearing, and a listener looking for the perfect (affordable) iris perfume…

Looking for some truly outstanding and very affordable fragrances? Have Suzy & Nicola got an episode for you! This week, as challenged by the podcast’s Instagram followers, they went on a scent safari sniffing their way around the new fragrances in one of the U.K’s most beloved high street shops. The results? Well, they were rather awe-struck with how wonderful they were, to be honest…

From a once-in-a-lifetime bespoke fragrance made for Nicola and her husband’s wedding anniversary at Floris London, to the secret symbolism infusing Chanel’s creations, right through to a mushroom scent Suzy’s obsessed by (yes, really!) and a round-up of other olfactive launches; it’s bumper first episode for the eighth season of this multi award-winning show!

Re-visiting two classic podcast episodes, and the amazing chat Suzy and Nicola had with fragrance queen, Alice du Parcq. Indeed, Alice had SO MANY brilliant fragrances on her list to talk about, we had to split it into two parts! We know you’re going to love these soul-revealing scent journeys…

his 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…

Have you noticed how new versions of classic perfumes are emerging – sometimes paying direct homage to the original with the OG DNA still very much present, but perhaps given a little twist? Other iterations may veer completely off the traditional path and take a whole new direction, garnering new fans who didn’t vibe with the initial scent, but adore the contemporary innovation…

With the rest of the team, Suzy (Nightingale) and Nicola (Bonn) attended the most incredible party thrown for @onthescentmedia by Glorious Brands and Muse Communications – a room filled with movers and shakers of the scent scene, from press, PR and brands alike. All were there to celebrate the official launch of On The Scent Magazine – and somehow, with all their love and support, it suddenly felt real!
