    Episode 126 of Love At First Scent
    This was a UA-cam Live broadcast streamed on Thursday 24th September 2020.
    Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
    In this episode, I interviewed Sonia Constant, Givaudan perfumer and co-founder and 'nose' of Ella K. We talked about how she balances her commitments to her employer with the job of creating scents for her own brand. We discussed how she feels about not being able to reveal that she's the composer of several high-profile releases. And we had a sniff of one of her latest Ella K perfumes: Reflet Sue L'Okavango.

    Sophia shares such a beautiful, positive energy in the industry, and despite the technical difficulties encountered, she shines bright, ever adaptive, and speaks so well about perfumery. What a treat! Her bright attitude makes her such a role model for combining intelligent creativity through an open perspective. Thank you Sir! Another wonderful and mind expanding interview!

    Loved the point she made about the fact that being a perfumer requires years of training. Training adds to talent what is needed: knowledge which is both technical and historical (others perfumers precious previous work).

    Another great episode. Merci beaucoup Mr. P et Sonia! Looking forward to trying this brand and it was heartwarming hearing Sonia talk about JCE as I have a soft spot for him (I adore Un jardin sur le toit) and the bit about Christine Nagel! Wow 😆 While watching this I had to stop myself from completely geeking out when I found an interview of hers on The Perfume Chronicles... I've been following dear Alexandre ever since his interview with you as well 😁 I must say, thank you for bringing all these amazing and talented people to the fore ❤️

    "Universe hates emptiness, if you create emptiness, inspiration come"
    Thanks for this interview, very lovely discussion.
    I agree with Sonia about respect for the creator.
    Perfumers should get more respect for the art they are creating.
    However, people who love perfumes know the perfumers of their collection anyway :)
    For the companies who don't want to mentioned the creator of the fragrance, I can say they are loosing a big part of the fragrance: the credibility behind the art.
    Thanks
