While we were on a between-seasons recording break [now back with Season SEVEN!] we've had so many more listeners writing in, looking to be united with their perfect perfume (often for extremely specific occasions, calling for suitably specific scents). So, in this week's episode we are playing catch-up - focusing on those #listenerprescriptions & finding THE ideal fragrances for situations encompassing...
...Celebrating a wedding anniversary in Portugal, overcoming imposter syndrome while attending lectures at Cambridge university, existentially scenting a flipped fairytale of a frog turned into a Queen, an emotional plea for the scent of hope, & a makeup artist's client seeking a bright, floral bouquet echoing a fancy plug-in. Blimey!
