Hello, Civilisation, I've missed you...

Thursday, May 1, 2025 • Duration 10:55

Well, look who’s back.

After five and a half years of losing myself in France—part romantic cliché, part emotional demolition site—I’ve finally rescued the real Melly.

Yes, there were baguettes and lavender fields. There was also a hefty dose of depression and isolation that at times brought me to my knees. Honestly, I lost my mojo. As a consequence, I ghosted the podcast, the newsletter, and social media without so much as a dramatic farewell post. Just… poof, like the wicked witch of the west. Gone.

But plot twist: I’m back in Dubai. The fog’s lifted, the fire’s back on, and for the first time in ages, I’m ready—actually ready—to pick things back up. This next chapter will be a fresh inhale after a long time underwater and it feels like a proper reset. No performative “new me” declarations, just a grounded sense that something has shifted. There’s energy again. There’s purpose, a real sense of renewal (and possibly a mild caffeine/wine dependency).

So, the podcast is being resurrected. The newsletter’s getting a pulse. And I’m dipping a toe back into the social media pool. It feels like a genuine new start—with warmer weather and better Wi-Fi.

Thanks for sticking around.

Let the games begin…

Smelly Melly x

P.S. Today’s the 1st of May, and in true French tradition, it’s customary to gift a sprig of Lily of the Valley to friends and loved ones—for luck and prosperity in the months ahead. So here’s mine to you, virtually delivered, but sincerely meant. 🌿

Fragrantly yours,
Melanie Jane.

Scentsitive Farewell: A Final Whiff

Tuesday, July 23, 2024 • Duration 26:22

Stepping Out, Finding Inspiration (and Ditching the Mic)

Ever feel stuck in a rut? As Henry Ford famously said, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." Well, that's exactly what happened to me.

I recently attended a wedding in Wales, and those four glorious days away from my computer screen, surrounded by beautiful scenery and amazing people, completely re-energized me. It made me realize I'd been stuck in a creative slump for months!

Coming back, I've had a major shift. While I love podcasts, I've realized video lets me express myself more freely and connect with you in a way that feels more natural. There's something about the visual element that gets lost in audio, especially when it comes to the world of fragrance.

So, with a heavy heart (and a spring in my step!), this will be my final episode.

But fear not, fragrant friends! If you want to delve deeper into my world of perfume adventures, from lavender fields and jasmine farms to perfume exhibitions and of course, my ever-growing bottle collection, then head over to my YouTube channel, The Naked Perfumer by Melanie Jane.

Fragrantly yours,
