Mini-Pod Special! Barnes Fragrance Fair 2025 and products I've been loving...

It’s the last episode in the current season of ‘Man in the Mirror’ and this one is just me for a change! I wanted to highlight the Barnes Fragrance Fair that is taking place this Saturday 17th May 2025 in Barnes, West London. I’ll be hosting 2 talks during the fair, the first at 9.30a.m. is called ‘Scents & Songs’ and I’ll be hosting alongside Olympic Studios archivist Roger Miles. We’ll be delving into the rich legacy of the world famous Olympic Studios in Barnes and I’ll be matching a fragrance to 6 iconic songs that were recorded there. Think of it as ‘musical sniff-along’ and there will be plenty of chance for interaction and questions. The auditorium is within the Olympic Studios complex, which is now an independent cinema. Ticket info below.Then at 2pm I’ll be hosting a panel talk called ‘Men Smell’ featuring 4 guests (including 2 former guests from the podcast!) I’ll be joined by journalist Adam Hurly, retail buyer Vesa Kalho, content creator TJ Talks Scents and writer and YouTube creator Persolaise. It promises to be a lively and interactive conversation, I do hope you can join us! There are also loads of other workshops and talks from other leading fragrance writers, presenters and podcast hosts. It’s free to attend the main fair - the talks and workshops are ticketed and the tickets can be bought via the link below. Ticket details are here:https://www.barnesfragrancefair.com/talks-2025I also mentioned the following products that I’ve been loving recently:Jo Malone London - Black Cedarwood & Juniper Shaving Cream and Aftershave Moisturiserhttps://www.jomalone.co.uk/gents/groomingJo Malone London - Care Collection - (Exclusive to Selfridges)https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/jo-malone-london/collection-care2dcollection/Acqua di Parma - Buongiorno Eau de Parfumhttps://www.johnlewis.com/acqua-di-parma-buongiorno-eau-de-parfum/p113439344Aesop - Eleos Body Cleanserhttps://www.aesop.com/uk/p/body-hand/body-cleansers-and-scrubs/eleos-nourishing-body-cleanser/Kiehls - Routinehttps://www.kiehls.co.uk/mensAdam Reed Arkive - Shampoo and Conditionerhttps://arkiveheadcare.com/collections/cleanse-treatVeronique Gabai - Eau D’Azur (EDP) https://veroniquegabai.com/collections/eau-dazurSee you in the summer for season 10.
