In this episode I'm chatting with Arielle Weinberg and Katri Haas, co-owners of Washington-based fragrance boutique and brand Arielle Shoshana. Their journey is a unique one, with Ari being one of the OG fragrance bloggers before starting the boutique and brand, with Katri joining the company after having been a loyal customer. We talk about that journey but also how they've crafted a special space for perfume shopping as well as a fantastic collection of their own fragrances.

Have you ever wondered how two perfumers work together to create a fragrance? In this episode I interview perfumers Julien Rasquinet (of CPL Aromas) and Paul Guerlain (of IFF) about their creative collaboration for the fragrance Lustre, which is part of Omani perfume house Amouage's Essence Collection. This is a fragrance with a unique brief, created in a unique way. Julien and Paul tell me all about how they worked together to interpret the brief and how relationships are key when creating something together.
