212: How to have the best-smelling hair wash day with Cécred
We are delighted to welcome Robyn Melissa Watkins, Senior VP of Product Development at Cécred (AKA Beyoncé's haircare brand). After a truly Holy shit, how does my hair look this good airdried?? moment Sable had when trying the line, we were very excited to discover not only how its signature scent Temple Oud was created, but also the formula development process to create products that can enhance all hair types and their unique needs (obviously, we can only speak for our own hair experiences, but the experiences so far have been pretty great!).

211: 50% Concentration!!!! with Amouage
Known for exquisitely powerful scent profiles that explore the deepest resins and ambers, the most vibrant florals, and the most complex musks, the Omani fragrance brand Amouage has become a regular mention in the perfume social orbit. We have the brand's creative director Renaud Salmon as a guest on this episode, going long on all things Amouage — how they blend raw materials for different expressions, the story behind the conceptual mono-names of the perfumes, and how all facets of the brand come together.

209: Abel is making fossil fuel-free the new fragrance benchmark
We have the pleasure of chatting with perfumer Isaac Sinclair on this episode — the only kiwi perfumer (we've heard of) and the olfactive partner for Abel. He tells us about Symrise's upcycling tech that's kind of like the agua fresca of fruit notes, how the "oriental" olfactive family was originally "ambery," and how Abel's directive for creating "natural" fragrance is that none of the ingredients involve fossil fuel derivatives (kind of a first in luxury fine fragrance!). Abel's rebrand launches today with beautiful new bottles, a brat green packaging update, and some new names for familiar scents.

208: Wearing Chris Collins's perfumes will get you Juno🤰
We have the pleasure of welcoming the enigmatic Chris Collins on this episode. Founder of his eponymous fragrance line, World Of Chris Collins features a collection of scents that the fragworld considers very... let's just say [parted lips emoji, wink emoji, sweaty face emoji].
He shares his story about collecting Bath & Body Works scents when he was a teen, modeling for Ralph Lauren, and eventually starting his own fragrance brand with some mentorship from "a guy named Kilian."
