41. NFTs and Barrel-Aged Alcohol…For Your Perfume (w/ Scents of Wood Founder Fabrice Croisé)

Fabrice Croisé, Founder of Scents of Wood (TFF Fragrance Extraordinaire 2021 winner) is in the Perfume Room today! This revolutionary fragrance brand not only pays homage to trees and nature in every scent, it also flips the script on fragrance formulation. Rather than making the alcohol an invisible ingredient (as is par for the course), in Scents of Wood fragrances, it’s the star of the show; each fragrance is composed of organic alcohol that has been aged (and thus scented) in wooden barrels. Fabrice and I chat about what made him go this route (and how he then did it!), where he sources inspiration (*cough cough, wink wink:* this podcast), the collaboration process with his illustrious team of perfumers, and how NFTs may just be the future of fragrance.
