I was making lunch unusually early last week (between 12 and 1pm!) when I chanced upon this interview on Radio Four's 'You and Yours' programme with Lizzie Ostrom (
Odette Toilette of Scratch+Sniff events fame) and Kate Williams, a perfumer with Seven Scent, a company based in Manchester specialising in functional fragrances. The eight minute segment kicks off with a reference to the economy and the so-called 'lipstick effect', and how this could equally be said to apply to perfume. We are apparently spending three times as much on scent as bread, would you believe? - though I suppose a loaf is only about a quid, and some people eat cereal for breakfast ;-). The discussion moves through into a consideration of the emotional role perfume can play in people's lives and the concept of a scent wardrobe. Lizzie describes herself as a 'perfume floozy' - hey, we can all relate to that!
The clip itself doesn't appear to be available for embedding here, but you can listen on the BBC site.

Oh that was nice, many thanks. I just got myself settled on the couch with a cat on my lap when it ended, sadly. Glad to hear Diorella mentioned.
I've been overwhelmed with work too; just finished juggling a four day conference with normal work and housework at home over the weekend. Blah. Training course all day tomorrow. More blah. 24 Faubourg got me through a tough, long day today.
Hi annemariec,
It was pretty short and sweet, but quite fun! I am glad you could access it - it is good how more and more programmes are available online these days.
Diorella was a nice choice - it is under the radar rather as Dior scents go.
Sorry to hear you are stacked out with work as well - 24 Faubourg sounds like just the sort of olfactory armour your tough schedule demands!
