We’re so excited to introduce you to the co-author of one of our favorite books, Perfumes: The A–Z Guide. In this interview, Tania Sanchez reveals the hidden love story in her book’s pages, explains how she thinks (and writes) about scent, and tells us about some of her favorite perfumes. Plus, we talk about how to move the fragrance world forward and make the art of perfumery more inclusive and easier to understand and enjoy.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter, or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show. You can also leave us a voicemail to be featured on a future podcast (our phone number in the U.S. is at 646-481-8182).
