  • Come for the Perfume, Stay for Emma

    Love this podcast. Emma is a first-rate interviewer—curious, informed, and genuinely great at what she does. If you’re someone who judges a podcast in a nanosecond based on the host’s voice (guilty!), give this one a real listen. I wasn’t instantly pulled in, but now I adore everything about Emma & the show. Settle in & enjoy!

    I love this podcast. Emma is engaging and knowledgeable and pulls you into a fascinating discussion about fragrance. I enjoy thé interviews but I think I like the solo episodes more - Emma clearly has both a creative and intellectual angle on the world of scent. So glad I found this gem!

    Please bring back the weekly format!
