This week we’re coming to you live from our (very warm) recording studio to talk about wild-crafting in beauty and give mothers and non-mothers some advice for dealing with dry, itchy skin. We also tell you everything a beauty aficionado should do when visiting New York City, like where to go on a fragrance-sniffing adventure, how to gain two inches in height from a blowout, and the best spot to eat a cookie or two while you enjoy a relaxing spa experience.
Our guest this week is Stephen Nilsen, a perfumer at Givaudan who created scents such as Madonna's Truth or Dare, Bond No. 9 Union Square, and Vera Wang Lovestruck. He’s got answers to all your burning fragrance questions, like: What's a "white floral" versus a "springtime floral"? Which molecule smells like toasted almonds? What is a "naturally derived" scent? We hope you guys love nerding out on perfume as much as we did!
