How to bring a perfume to market, with Olfiction's Pia Long & Nick Gilbert

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

vendredi 30 août 2024 • Durée 41:42

The perfume world is notoriously tricky to succeed in. (How do you market an invisible product that everyone will experience differently?) In today’s episode, I’m delighted to welcome two of my favorite people in the British fragrance world, Pia Long and Nick Gilbert, the fiercely intelligent and wonderfully unfiltered founders of Olfiction. Known for their bespoke perfumery and consultancy services, as well as their own candle and perfume range Bougie Bougie, Nick and Pia represent everything that’s great about the independent British fragrance industry.

Pia Long is a Finnish-born perfumer with a unique perspective shaped by her twin passions for writing and fragrance, and a wealth of experience across every corner of the industry. Nick Gilbert, Olfiction’s Creative Director, brings his expert touch to brand development and consumer engagement, with a reputation for insightful commentary and engaging presence on BBC radio. As we chat, you’ll see why these two are so in demand—busy, brilliant, and always authentic. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Linda Pilkington, Perfumer & Founder of Ormonde Jayne

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 5 avril 2023 • Durée 34:26

Nestled in Mayfair’s Royal Arcade, the Ormonde Jayne boutique offers some of the most unique concoctions on the planet, with ingredients sourced from all around the globe, worlds away from the many typical bland commercial scents on the market. Its founder Linda Pilkington creates perfumes which echo an era of bygone glamour when perfumes actually were perfumes, designed to be worn with a cocktail dress and many glittering jewels, as one sashays off out into the evening.They are also stocked in London’s top department stores such as Selfridges and Harrods and she has previously collaborated with the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Knightsbridge. Ormonde Woman is probably her best-seller, with enveloping notes of black hemlock, underscored with rich jasmine and violet. But Tiare is my personal favourite – with its sparkling citrus and exotic floral notes and a name that sounds like ‘tiara’ – and to be honest when you spray it on, it does feel like you’re wearing one. As the company founder and perfumer (a rare combination) Linda is memorable, punchy and charismatic as the perfumes she creates. When lockdown hit, she instantly pivoted to online, hosting scent discovering sessions remotely with clients from all over the globe. The brand has gone from strength to strength, with many new and exciting scents added to the Ormonde Jayne cannon, as well as a personalisation service, which allows customers to dial up the intensity of their chosen fragrance should they so wish. But it’s the fact many of her staff – together with her lovely PR Sara – have stayed with her for years is a testament to how lovely she is. We chat about how Ormonde Jayne grew out of her obsession with 'unusual' scents and why budget will never stop her from striving for perfection, whether it's creating the most exquisite perfume bottles, or finding the most rare and exotic ingredients the natural world has to offer.

Sarah McCartney, Perfumer & Founder of 4160Tuesdays

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 5 avril 2023 • Durée 40:01

Sarah McCartney started out in business at age 7, in her words “buying wooden beads, making them into things and selling them on to my friends.” That is until her horrified mother found out and swiftly put a stop to it. Fortunately this didn’t dampen Sarah's entrepreneurial spirit, and after stints writing for The Guardian, and LUSH (where she was editor of ‘The LUSH Times’), it was writing a novel about a problem-solving perfumer which led her on the path to actual perfumery. She set up 4160Tuesdays in 2010 – its name is taken from the number of Tuesdays we should expect to see if we live to see 80, stressing the importance of making the most of every day.The cheery offbeat branding of 4160 Tuesdays is everywhere you look not least in the perfumes themselves with names like “The Sexiest Scent on the Planet Ever”, “ Damn Rebel Bitches” and “Tarts Knicker Drawer.” Growing up in Tyneside, Sarah’s dry northern wit and straightforward approach makes the world of perfume far less intimidating than its normal shiny department store dwellings. She is also co-author of The Perfume Companion - The Definitive Guide to Choosing Your Next Scent, that she wrote with perfume writer Samantha Scriven. Last year, the book was a finalist in the UK Fragrance Foundation Jasmine Awards.Sarah is described by fragrance writer and expert Lizzie Ostrom as a “punk perfumer” (although she describes herself as more of a "folk perfumer") and she can be credited as one of the brands successfully combining fragrance with tongue-in-cheek British humour – even if this doesn't always translate elsewhere! We talk about her career journey, what she learned from Mark Constantine at LUSH and the challenges of building an indie perfume brand "using her own voice".

Olivia Da Costa, Founder of Olfactive O

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mercredi 5 avril 2023 • Durée 33:36

Fragrance maven Olivia Da Costa is yet another colourful addition to the wonderful world of British perfumery. She is the founder of luxury scent brand Olfactive O, where each perfume pays tribute to a fragrance family, from floral to woody, to fruity to gourmand. The latter was nominated for a prestigious Fragrance Foundation award, and the range is stocked in Les Senteurs - one of London’s poshest perfume boutiques.It will also soon be making its television debut on QVC, with Olivia gracing our screens as a guest presenter following in the footsteps of Joan Rivers and Martha Stewart.Olfactive O perfumes are designed to be warm and inclusive, reflecting Olivia’s modern orthodox Jewish upbringing, where food was a big part of family life. In previous interviews she has said “There's so much synergy between perfume and food, and probably a lot of my cultural heritage has subconsciously seeped into the perfumes I create!” And as someone who has tried more perfumes than I’ve had hot dinners, I can totally attest to that. We chat about how she developed her business and her brand, making mistakes with big agencies, our mutual obsession with the film 'Joy' with Jennifer Lawrence and what it takes to get a brand on QVC.

Understanding the Middle Eastern beauty market, with Arooba Anwar, founder of Arooba Beauty.

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

samedi 17 août 2024 • Durée 35:33

Today, we're talking to Arooba Anwar, founder of Arooba Beauty and an expert in the Middle Eastern beauty market. With Euromonitor International valuing this market at over $46 billion, projected to reach $60 billion by 2025, it undoubtedly has lucrative potential – especially if you're a brand founder. Arooba Beauty launched into the UAE last year followed by a UK launch this February. Arooba herself is based in Dubai, and the brand reflects her own cultural heritage and the needs of makeup users in this region which we'll delve into. The range focuses on eye makeup palettes, with eyes being identified as the most expressive feature among Middle Eastern women. Their formulas are dubbed "skincare/makeup for the eyes", and star Middle Eastern botanical ingredients with skincare benefits. There are so many reasons why it makes sense for beauty brands to tap into the Middle Eastern market, but as Arooba points out, it's important to understand the variety of cultural differences and sensitivities in this region and adapt your messaging accordingly. We really enjoyed this chat and I hope you will too.

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

mercredi 14 août 2024 • Durée 17:39

At SBC, we work a little differently to the traditional agency model, based on Viola's experiences working at such agencies as a copywriter. She witnessed firsthand the pitfalls of the retainer model: bloated budgets, lagging timelines, and inefficient use of creative talent. These challenges not only inflated costs but also hampered productivity, particularly for smaller brands with limited budgets. In this first of a three-part miniseries, she talks about what led her to create the Smart Beauty Method.
