The Fragrance Expert Who Made Perfume For Zendaya And Jamie Foxx

This week on The Open Wide Podcast, we sit down with a globally recognized fragrance expert with a 40-year career creating iconic scents for Tiffany, Burberry, Lancôme, and celebrities like Zendaya and Jamie Foxx. She takes us through her wild journey from a childhood in Johannesburg to studying at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, to becoming "the alchemist of scent, memory, and emotion" — including the moment a shattered perfume bottle in a department store changed the entire trajectory of her career.By the end of this episode, you'll understand the real science behind why scent is tied so powerfully to memory and emotion, why your perfume might not be lasting as long as it should, and the incredible story of how she helped people recover their sense of smell after losing it entirely. If you've ever wondered what actually goes into your favorite fragrance — or want to find your true signature scent — this episode is for you.
