On The Scent

Joy Isaacs - ARgENTUM and Her Life In Fragrance

In this episode we were overJOYed (sorry) to be joined by Joy Issacs - the effervescent and visionary founder of @argentum. Starting by following her dream (literally) into science-led silver-infused skincare, Joy more recently reconnected with her fragrant side, to work with a perfumer developing 12 incredible scents. You can discover these by allowing yourself to be drawn towards one of 12 ‘Archetype’ cards, or simply by smelling them all. As we discover, Suzy had a ‘fragrance reading’ and became rather emotional at her perfumed pick of the pack. But as always - we like to go right back, and find out the fragrances that meant most to Joy throughout her life….

On The Scent is the podcast destination for anyone fascinated by fragrance (or keen to learn more) – a place where perfume snobbery is stripped away, and fragrance is accessible to all. What began as a monthly sniff-in on the Outspoken Beauty Podcast soon became so popular in its own right (and with so many listeners sending in questions and asking for more) that On the Scent just had to go weekly - this time on its own perfumed platform! Encompassing everything from icons and all-time classics to what’s new on the high street to the more ‘niche’ indie brands; Beauty broadcaster and columnist Nicola Bonn and award-winning fragrance journalist and expert Suzy Nightingale give personalised perfume prescriptions, describe fragrances in such an intoxicating way you can almost smell them and help navigate the thousands of scents out there to find the truly incredible ones. Also expect interviews with well-known figures, delving into their favourite scents of all time and opportunities to get to know some of the most exciting perfumers in the world. Whether you’ve a collection of 500+ or are just starting on your scent journey, olfactory obsessives Nicola &amp; Suzy are on a mission to find you fragrances that don’t simply smell good, but will re-connect you to long forgotten memories, engage your emotions and very likely blow your mind.
