As this episode title suggests, this is another classic chat, featuring listener voice memo guidance, new smells, October vibes (?), seasonal scents not being a thing except for fall (and maybe summer), scents we want to smell but haven't yet, etc. Surprisingly!

93: The Smell Of Vacation™ Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

What do the dawn of dial-up Internet, pool floats, and chill, early 90s party tunes have in common? They are the tenets of Vacation Inc, the sunscreen brand born of a cheeky radio station Poolsuite.fm. Among their suncare products, the brand launched with a sunscreen-scented fragrance, which turned out to be a huge hype hit, proving what we at SYL HQ already know: People love the smell of sunscreen. We have Marty Bell, one of the co-founders of both brands, to talk us through the genesis of a sunscreen scent and how vacation vibes built a brand.

92: Do you like the smell of LUXURY? Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

We thought we had heard the last of what luxury fragrance could be, and then came Aeir. Founded by disciples of the tech, luxury, and designer goods worlds, we have Enrico Pietra and Rodrigo Caula on to talk how about fragrance can be a vehicle to express how luxury is so much more than cost and expense. With the innovation of extractionless molecular scent-making, custom packaging made from thoughtful materials, and designed to highlight how chic those materials can be, Aeir's first offering is four scents that smell as lux as they look.

86: What Are These Sneaky Scents In Skincare Products? Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

Scent in beauty products is a touchy subject, but even those that don't have a scent sometimes incorporate aroma molecules to delete their natural odors. We have cosmetic chemist and co-founder of Dieux Skin Joyce De Lemos on the pod to science at us about masking fragrances, skincare formulations, and the misconceptions and villainization of fragrance (and chemicals in general) especially when it comes to beauty/body products.
