While Suzy and Nicola are on a short pod-pause (as Nicola’s been on holiday), we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to revisit one of our all-time classic episodes, with Sali Hughes - well known for her brilliant ‘Perfume Diaries’ series on Instagram, and for being a fellow fragrance fanatic. In this emotionally-revealing journey, we discover exactly where her love of perfume first began, and the signature scents she’ll never be without…

Wowie! Suzy & Nicola have 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 they started with a recap of the recent barnstorming success of Barnes Fragrance Fair... Talking through Suzy’s choices for her sold-out talk with Alice du Parcq, Nicola also goes through the scents she’s wearing on repeat right now…

Currently, Suzy and Nicola are loving (and living for) those glorious moments of sunshine lifting our spirits. However, if you’re experiencing grey skies where you are (either metaphysically or meteorologically), they share some favourite fragrances to chase the blues away.

This week, Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn ask: 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...

Suzy and Nicola 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! 

How do you discover which fragrances evoke your personality, or find those perfumes that portray the character you’d like to be, rather than how you happen to feel that day? In this episode we reply to a listener’s email asking for help finding her perfect perfume(s), and discuss how we went about discovering our own perfume identities.

Then, Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn answer another listener’s question about scenting a wedding (including how to find fragrances evoking the evening, and the practicalities of perfuming an event)…

Immersive perfume spaces are popping up all over the place lately, and Space NK recently invited people to step into an olfactive art gallery, featuring some of the hottest new fragrance launches around. Here’s what Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn tried (and loved the most)…

Dipping deep into the postbag for this week’s episode we (Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn) are celebrating the strength of one of our listeners, Amy, and rejoicing in the perfect perfume found for a listener for her anniversary trip to Bruges.

Aaron’s moved to Mexico City and is seeking scents to stand up to the heat, and Louise is looking for bone-dry forest smells to remind her of home in the peak of summer. Suzanne, meanwhile, is craving watercolour spring florals for a sense of hopefulness we could all do with right now...

Delving into the postbag, Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn make scented recommendations for listeners that include Éditions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Dans Tes Bras, MEMO Paris Sherwood, Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc Blanc and Jeroboam Origino…
