My guest on the podcast this week is Henry Wesson, one of the co-founders of zero-waste personal care brand Brother Earth. The brand set out to create a range of plastic-free, high quality bathroom products that fit the needs of active men. There’s a conditioning shampoo bar, a face and body bar - both of which come in an ‘indestructible tin’. Perfect for the shower, or to easily carry in a wash bag for the gym or on your travels. Then there’s a deodorant that comes in a cardboard tube and an eco-friendly, natural toothpaste in a fully recyclable aluminium tube .

Henry and his two other co-founders Andy and Nick are active, outdoors guys, who were seeing the effects of plastic pollution when they were out running, hiking, surfing and biking. Brother Earth is their solution to the problem and it was fascinating to hear more from Henry about the issues and the practical steps they took - and we can take to reduce our use of plastics. The brand launched on Kickstarter this summer and is now available via their website.

These were the items Henry uses in his morning and evening routines:

Brother Earth - Shampoo/conditioner bar

Brother Earth - Face & body bar

Brother Earth - Toothpaste

Brother Earth - Deodorant

Thomas Dunckley - Fragrance Expert ('Making Scents Make Sense') 51:52

for 14 dager siden51:52

51:52

It was a real treat to talk to Thomas Dunckley this week on the podcast. He was one of the first accounts I followed when I got into fragrance and has an incredible ability to make his content accessible, relatable and fun. Thomas is a hugely experienced and knowledgeable writer, blogger, speaker and podcaster. He used to write using the name ‘the candy perfume boy’ (changing the gender of the title of a Madonna song!) but now goes under the name ‘making scents make sense.’ This seems to neatly encapsulate his ethos - democratising fragrance and bringing it to life. Thomas’ new podcast will start in April 2025, also called ‘making scents make sense’ and it sounds like he has some great guests and topics lined up. He mentioned the following products during our conversation: Pixie - Glow Tonic https://pixibeauty.co.uk/products/glow-tonic-250ml Pixie - Rose Ceramide Cream https://pixibeauty.co.uk/products/rose-ceramide-cream Chanel - Hydra Beauty Micro-Serum. https://www.chanel.com/gb/skincare/p/143180/hydra-beauty-micro-serum-intense-replenishing-hydration/ Bedhead for Men - Shampoo/Conditioner https://escentual.com/products/tigi-bed-head-for-men-clean-up-shampoo-and-conditioner-tween-duo-2-x-750ml?variant=49266697896260 Roger & Gallet - Fleur de Figuier https://escentual.com/products/roger-gallet-fleur-de-figuier-wellbeing-shower-gel?variant=49265921294660 Bon Parfumeur - 403 Myrrh Shadow https://www.bonparfumeur.com/en-gb/products/403-timut-pepper-myrrh-benzoin You can find Thomas on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/makingscentsmakesense Online at: https://www.thomasdunckley.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

36:56

This week I had the pleasure of talking to Rodrigo Nikaido who is co-owner and Global Growth Director at Mexican luxury interior fragrance brand Aromaria. Aromaria recently opened their flagship European store on Regent Street in London and it’s a stunning expression of Mexican creativity and flair fused with an elegant, minimalist aesthetic. The brand is known for candles, room sprays and giant ‘perfume sticks’, which are available as 50cm (M) & 1.2m (XL) incense sticks in a variety of scents. All the fragrances are developed in Grasse, France and the products are crafted in Mexico. If you’re ever in Central London the Aromaria store is well worth a visit, you can even craft your own bespoke fragrance. Rodrigo mentioned the following products during our conversation: Aromaria - Cabinet de Curiosities Incense Sticks https://www.aromaria.co.uk/products/buddhas-apprentice-pure-perfume-stick-collection Aromaria - Fresh White Room Spray, Grapefruit Room Spray https://www.aromaria.co.uk/collections/room-sprays La Mer - Lip Balm https://www.spacenk.com/uk/skincare/lipcare/lip-balm/the-lip-balm-MUK200034795.html Rodrigo uses fragrances from - Amouage, Byredo, MFK, Orto Parisi - as well as fine fragrance that Aromaria is developing for release soon.

Julien Rasquinet & Paul Guerlain - Perfumers 48:10

48:10

A very special episode this week with not one, but two hugely talented and in-demand perfumers. I am joined by (friend of the show!) Julien Rasquinet along with Paul Guerlain. The two of them were at Harrods in London to discuss ‘Lustre’, a fragrance they co-created for the house of Amouage. ‘Lustre’ is one of a trio of fragrances that make up ‘The Essences’ and each one is double-infused and aged for 6 months. The other two fragrances in the new collection are ‘Reasons’ and ‘Outlands.’ They have all been created using a high concentration of 30% perfume oil, along with many other technical and aesthetic innovations that we discuss during our conversation. We had chance to talk about ‘The Essences’, the opportunity to work with the prestigious Amouage, how they approached working as two perfumers on one fragrance and also (for Paul) what it means to be part of the Guerlain family. Paul mentioned the following products in his routine: Abeille Royale Day Cream - Guerlain https://www.guerlain.com/uk/en-uk/p/abeille-royale-day-cream-P061500.html Abeille Royale Night Cream - Guerlain https://www.guerlain.com/uk/en-uk/p/abeille-royale-honey-treatment-night-cream-P061850.html Julien is a man of simple pleasures and uses bar soap and anti-dandruff shampoo!

Stuart Williams-Philp - Liberty Fragrance Department 54:40

54:40

Welcome back! This is the first ‘Man in the Mirror’ of 2025, we’re in March so I’m WAY too late to say ‘Happy New Year’ to you, but I hope the year has got off to a great start. I’m delighted to be back with more new episodes, there’s some amazing guests to come this season… My guest in episode 1 is Stuart Williams-Philp, who describes himself as a ‘Liberty veteran and retail survivor!’ Stuart has been a sales specialist in the Ground Floor fragrance department at the world famous Liberty in London, UK for over 20 years. There can’t be many people who know the retail space, the trends and most importantly, what the customer wants better than Stuart. I first ‘met’ Stuart via his Instagram channel @Stubieblessed. If you aren’t following him, you should do so immediately. It’s a (rare) positive, joyful and fun account where he talks about his love of interiors, design, beauty and of course fragrance. Oh - and he also has a ‘Monday moan’, so you can see what gets on his nerves each week! I subsequently met him IRL in the Liberty store and I can confirm he’s just as friendly and fabulous in the flesh! Stuart mentioned the following products in his routine: Augustinus Bader - The Rich Cream https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/the-rich-cream-30ml-000725185.html#pos=2 Aesop - Facial Cleanser https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/purifying-facial-cream-cleanser-100ml-304141.html#pos=34 Sam McKnight - Shampoo https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/rich-cleanse-nourishing-shampoo--250ml-000783331.html#pos=11 Ultra Violette - SPF50 https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/brands/u/ultra-violette/ Escentric Molecules - Molecule 01 https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/brands/u/ultra-violette/?algq=escentric%20mol New Notes - Latte di Cherry https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/brands/n/new-notes/ You can find Liberty on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/LibertyLondon/ Online at: https://www.libertylondon.com/ Stuart is on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/stubieblessed/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

Sébastien Tissot - Founder of Nissaba. Purpose-driven fragrance 59:39

for 18 weeks siden59:39

59:39

My guest on the show this week is Sebastien Tissot, the founder of Nissaba, a Swiss fragrance brand that arrived in Selfridges here in the UK earlier this year. Each of the fragrances combines natural ingredients from a single origin and showcases that area or region in olfactory form. The range is absolutely stunning and my personal favourite is a beautiful example of a patchouli fragrance called ‘Sulawesi’. If you get chance to sample Nissaba near you, I really recommend you do so! I had a fascinating conversation with Sebastien, whose previous role was Head of Sustainable Sourcing at one of the world’s largest fragrance manufacturers, DSM Firmenich, so he has a wealth of experience around materials and ingredients. When he started Nissaba he wanted it to be about doing good as well as smelling good. To that end, the company invests 5% of its turnover in supporting young people in communities of perfume plant growers, enabling them to put in place practices that are resilient to climate change and can adapt to local conditions. They fund young farmers and vocational schools in communities where they source ingredients and they aim to be a ‘positive-impact brand.’ This also extends to the products themselves - Nissaba fragrances are designed according to the principles of circularity and essentiality. All components are either recyclable or reusable, and the quantity of raw materials used is minimal, to keep the overall carbon footprint to a minimum. Bio-sourced, recycled, and/or certified materials have been chosen wherever possible. Sebastien mentioned using hand cream, (natural) menthol toothpaste and Déclaration by Cartier in his daily routines.

My guest on the show this week is James Read, founder of sunless tanning range ‘Self Glow by James Read.’ James started his career in retail, then went on to become one of the UK’s top tanning artists, working with celebrities, models and customers who wanted a healthy glow, applied using the best products. This lead to James creating his own brand using all the experience he amassed during his career. ‘Self Glow by James Read’ has a ’skincare-first’ philosophy and combines natural cacao with high-performance active and fermented ingredients. The formulas work with all skin tones and skin types. As we discussed during our conversation, I was a self-tan novice, but I started using James’ ‘Sunblush’ tan mist once a week - and it’s SO easy to apply, literally a few sprays on my face and I’m done. No lines, no weird smell, so I’m a convert :) https://www.jamesreadglow.com/products/sunblush-hydrating-tan-mist-100ml Self Glow is available in the UK in - Space NK, Liberty, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Lookfantastic and via the James Read ‘Self Glow’ website. https://www.jamesreadglow.com/ James mentioned the following brands/products from his routine: Medik8 - Vit C SPF, Hyaluronic Acid, Cleanser https://www.medik8.com/ La Prairie - https://www.spacenk.com/uk/brands/l/la-prairie REN - https://www.renskincare.co.uk/ Fragrances from - Diptyque, Byredo, Floral Street You can find Self Glow by James Read on the web: https://www.jamesreadglow.com/ Also on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamesreadtan/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

Forat Al Haider - Creative Director of Ghawali. A modern fragrance brand from the UAE. 1:31:24

1:31:24

My guest on the show this week is Forat Al Haider, who is Creative Director of Ghawali, a fragrance brand from the UAE. Ghawali combines the art of Middle Eastern perfumery with a modern, niche touch, crafting unique, long-lasting fragrances that evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication. It is part of the Chalhoub Group, which is a family owned luxury goods retailer and distributor and is the largest retail operator in the Middle East. I met Forat a couple of months ago in London when he was introducing people to the brand here at Selfridges. I really enjoyed his company and fell hard for some of the Ghawali fragrances, particularly ‘4 Walls’, which has become a regular wear for me. It seems to me Ghawali represents a really interesting intersection of the Middle Eastern and European-styles of perfumery - and this is probably no surprise at Forat grew up in Sweden, was born in Iraq and now lives in Dubai! I hope you enjoy our conversation - and a special thank you to Forat for making time to do this from his office in Dubai. Forat mentioned the following brands/products from his routine: The Ordinary - Skin care https://theordinary.com/en-gb The Inkey List - Skin care https://uk.theinkeylist.com/ Kevin Murphy - Hair Care & ‘Doo.over Hair Powder’ https://www.kevinmurphystore.com/kevin-murphy-doo-over/ K18 - Hair care https://www.k18hair.co.uk/ Ghawali Fragrances You can find Ghawali on the web: https://ae.ghawali.com/ Available in Selfridges: https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/ghawali/ Ghawali on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghawaliofficial/ The Chalhoub Group: https://www.chalhoubgroup.com/en - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

This week my guest is one of UK’s top hairdressers, Adam Reed. Adam has been nominated for Hairdresser of the Year multiple times, he has worked with superstars such as Madonna and One Direction as well as the great and good in fashion and editorial over the last 30 + years. He is also a brand ambassador for ghd and L’Oréal Professional. Adam has just launched 4 perfumes for hair & skin that are part of his 'Arkive Makes Scents' range. He is a huge fragrance fan and, in fact, has a ‘fragrance library’ as part of his Arkive by Adam Reed salon in Covent Garden, London. I’ve never met anyone that has such an encyclopaedic knowledge of products and brands and his list of favourites from his daily routines is probably the most extensive ever! We also spoke about Adam’s neurodiversity (he was diagnosed as having ADHD fairly recently) as well as the struggles he’s had with his mental health in the past. This episode was recorded in early November 2024 in Adam’s Arkive salon in London. I really appreciated how open and candid Adam was and I hope you take something from the conversation we had. Adam mentioned too many products for me to link them all here, so due to word count restrictions it’s probably better that I just list them: Marvis - Liquorice Toothpaste Fenjal, Vaseline Intensive Care & AKT - Deodorants Estée Lauder - Advanced Night Repair Imperial Leather - Hand Soap Skin Rocks by Caroline Hirons - Gel Cleanser Kiehls - Facial Fuel range, Beard Oil Badedas - Bath Gel Diptyque - Tuberose Candle, Tam Dao Fragrance Mason Pearson - Hairbrush Charlotte Tilbury - Magic Cream This Works - Sleep Oil Santa Maria Novella - Jojoba Oil Reome - Active Recovery Broth YSL - Nu Concealer Haeckels - Various products Gloved by Tom Daxon - Hand Soaps Boots - Eye Mist You can find Arkive Hair & Skin Fragrances here: https://arkiveheadcare.com/collections/fragrances The Arkive hair products are here: https://arkiveheadcare.com/ Arkive on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkivebyadamreed/ Adam’s personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamreedhair/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

Jun Lim - Creative Director/Founder of BORN TO STAND OUT. A South Korean niche fragrance brand. 39:06

for 23 weeks siden39:06

39:06

This week my guest is Jun Lim, Creative Director and Founder of South Korean fragrance brand BORN TO STAND OUT. I met Jun a couple of months ago at Jovoy in London. He was introducing the brand to some of the UK media and I was struck by his singular vision and his mission to do things differently. It’s fair to say that South Korea is well known for skincare, but less so for niche fragrance brands. In just over 2 years BORN TO STAND OUT has made real waves, both in Jun’s home market and around the world. There are over 20 fragrances in the range, all in a bold (of course!) red and white bottle. There is an emphasis on gourmand notes, musks and ‘pleasures of the flesh’. Popular perfumes include Dirty Rice, Drunk Saffron, Fig Porn and Filthy Musk. See what I mean? This is not your typical brand, both in terms of the names, the aesthetic and the juice inside. Jun has created BORN TO STAND OUT in his own vision. The products are inspired by HIS dreams, memories and experiences. It was a real honour to spend time with him and fascinating to get a different perspective away from the prevailing (and my own!) Euro-centric views. Some of the products Jun mentioned were: Vaseline https://www.boots.com/vaseline-original-petrolium-jelly-50ml-10226343 Baby S.O.S Creme https://www.ohfeliz.co.uk/penaten-baby/little-helpers-sos-cream-with-dexpanthenol Alpecin Shampoo https://www.boots.com/alpecin-caffeine-shampoo-250ml-10081360 BORN TO STAND OUT Fragrances You can find Born To Stand Out on the web at: https://borntostandout.com/ BTSO on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/borntostandout.official/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

Ben James - 'Big & Tall' Model and Content Creator 47:02

for 24 weeks siden47:02

47:02

Thanks for joining me for the third episode in the new series (8.) This week I'm building on a wonderful conversation I had over lunch at a Creed launch last month with model and content creator Ben James. We happened to be seated next to each other and I found him to be so engaging and illuminating I thought I had to ask him to come on the podcast! Ben is a ‘plus size’/‘big & tall’ model, which he explains in more depth in our chat. He is 6’ 6 and has a 42” chest, so is not traditional ’sample size’. He models for brands such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Jacamo as well as cultivating a huge following (275K) on TikTok for his outfit advice and content about watches. Ben is also a photographer who has shot campaigns for brands here in the UK and U.S. Whilst Ben is now at a stage where he’s using his height as a positive force in his career, he was over 6 ft as a young teenager. Standing out - and the adverse attention that attracted when you’re so young had a real impact on his weight and his mental health, which he says more about during our conversation. Ben was a really frank, honest and articulate guest who made me re-evaluate my attitude to height and stature - and made me realise it can be a more complex and nuanced thing to deal with, especially as a young man. Some of the products Ben mentioned were: Cerave - Cleanser https://www.boots.com/cerave-foaming-cleanser-236ml-10246702#BVRRContainer Heath - Eye Serum https://www.heathlondon.co.uk/collections/face/products/eye-serum Fjor - Hydrolytic Moisturiser https://www.fjor.life/products/hydrolytic-moisturizer SPF, Sea Salt Spray and Jade Roller/Gua Sha Penhaligons Helfeti https://www.penhaligons.com/uk/en/product/halfeti-000000000065188931 Christian Dior - Oud Rosewood https://www.dior.com/en_gb/beauty/products/oud-rosewood-Y0996414.html Molton Brown - Clementine & Vetiver https://www.moltonbrown.co.uk/store/fragrance/citrus-fragrances/sunlit-clementine-vetiver-eau-de-parfum-100ml/NMR342 Ben is on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@ben_jjames And on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/ben_jjames - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

Julien Rasquinet, Sebastian Jara (a.k.a. 'The Perfume Guy') & Andrea Valdo - A Jusbox special! 38:45

It’s the first episode of season 8, so ‘welcome back’ if you’re a regular listener and ‘hello’ if this is your first time! I recorded this episode in late August at Harrods, the world famous department store in London. I had the opportunity to host an event there with one of my favourite brands, Jusbox and to introduce their new fragrance ’54’ to press and to customers. The creative team who worked on the launch joined me on stage and so it seemed like the perfect chance to record this podcast while we were all together. ‘’54’ is a collaboration between Jusbox, perfumer Julien Rasquinet and U.S. content creator and YouTuber Sebastian Jara, a.k.a ‘The Perfume Guy.’ So I sat down with the trio of Andrea Valdo (Jusbox co-founder, an old friend of the podcast and previous guest!) Julien and Sebastian and talked about ’54’, how they worked together, the inspirations and how it all came about. If you were there at Harrods you’ll know that the event also featured Chiara Valdo, Andrea’s sister and fellow Jusbox Co-founder. She is a massive part of the ’54’ story. As always on the podcast I like to chat to the guests about the products they love in their morning and evening routines. Admittedly, there wasn’t time to make it a massive part of this particular episode, however these are the products mentioned. Reuzel - Strong Hold Pomade (Sebastian’s choice) https://reuzel.uk/collections/pomade/products/blue-pomade-strong-hold-high-shine Ligne St Barth - Facial Fluid (Andrea’s choice) https://www.parfumdreams.co.uk/LIGNE-ST-BARTH/Care/HOMME/Moisturising-facial-fluid-Homme/index_39740.aspx?variation=53152 Lightly scented soap and anti-dandruff shampoo (Julien’s choice) Jusbox can be found at: https://www.jusboxperfumes.com/ On Instagram Jusbox is: https://www.instagram.com/jusboxperfumes/ Julien is at: https://www.instagram.com/julienrasquinet/ Sebastian is on IG and YouTube as follows: https://www.instagram.com/theperfumeguy/ https://www.youtube.com/@ThePerfumeGuy ’54’ from Jusbox is out now and can be found in the UK at: https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/shopping/jusbox-fifty-four-eau-de-parfum-78ml-24190525 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

It’s the final episode of season 7 and I’m ending with a guest I’ve wanted to get on the podcast for a long while. Adam Hurly is an American journalist (now based in Portugal) who writes about grooming, fragrance and lifestyle. As a grooming writer you will have seen Adan’s bylines in GQ, Robb Report, Forbes, to name but a few. He’s about to embark on his own brand new project called ‘Blue Print’, which is going to be a content hub and community for all things grooming and will launch in the autumn/fall this year (2024.) You can sign up for more info now at the following address: www.grooming.tips It was a real pleasure to connect with Adam again after our meeting in London. I’m a big fan of his work, I’m in awe of his knowledge and writing style, but more than any of that he’s such a warm, positive ‘radiator’ person who has been so generous with his time and expertise. There’s no one better to discuss products and routines with, so here’s his current edit (it will have changed next week, for sure!) Cardon - Clay Cleanser https://cardonskin.com/products/purifying-clay-cleanser Cardon - Daily SPF + Moisturiser https://cardonskin.com/products/cardon-daily-spf2 Horace - Hydrating Serum https://horace.com/en/product/hyaluronic-acid-panthenol-serum Ursa Major - Force Field SPF https://www.alyaka.com/products/ursa-major-force-field-spf-30-50ml Davines - Love Smoothing shampoo, conditioner https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/c/brands/davines/ Tretinoin - available on prescription, so seek medical advice on this.

My guest this week is Nick Buckley, the Co-founder and Commercial Director at fragrance & beauty distribution company, Phoenix Beauty. Sales & distribution is a key part of the industry and a company like Phoenix Beauty acts as the bridge between the brands, the retailers and us as the end-consumers. Much of the work goes on behind the scenes, but it was fascinating to spend some time with Nick where he shed light on how some of the process works - the retail exclusive products, working with ‘celebrity’ brands, the cost of doing business and the current market trends. Phoenix Beauty distribute a wide range of brands from the designer fragrances (Banana Republic, Steve Madden) celebrity fragrances/beauty (Eilish, by Billie Eilish, Florence by Mills) and niche brands (including bdk, Goldfield & Banks, Les Eaux Primordiales, Jusbox etc) Many of the brands and the founders have featured on the podcast over the years, so it’s definitely worth going back and revisiting some of those episodes! In the episode Nick mentioned the following products in his routine: Temple Spa - Cleanser, Truffle Moisturiser, Eye Cream https://www.templespa.com/shop Almora Botanica - Cleanser https://almorabotanica.com/collections/cleanser Bdk - Gris Charnel Extrait https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/shopping/bdk-parfums-gris-charnel-extrait-de-parfum-100ml-18178727 Les Eaux Primordiales - Ambre Superfluide https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/shopping/les-eaux-primordiales-ambre-supermassive-perfume-extrait-50ml-24219840 Goldfield & Banks - Bohemian Lime https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/product/goldfield-banks-bohemian-lime-perfume-concentrate-100ml_R03649248/ Jusbox - Cheeky Smile https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/product/jusbox-cheeky-smile-eau-de-parfum-78ml_496-3004815-6711E101/ NOYZ - Monochrome https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/shopping/noyz-x-damon-baker-monochrome-parfum-50ml-23921760 Ojar - Wood Whisper https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/shopping/ojar-wood-whisper-eau-de-parfum-100ml-19164596 You can find out more about Phoenix Beauty here: https://www.phoenixbeauty.co.uk/ On Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/phoenixbeautyltd/ You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.
