Series 8, Episode 16: Sumptuous, Textural, Stroke-able Scents

What does a fragrance feel like? This week, Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn are

following their noses into the wonderfully tactile world of perfumery, where a scent

can suggest velvet brushing the skin, the smooth swish of nylon, or the crumbly

warmth of freshly sliced cake. There’s oudh as soft as autumnal sun-warmed suede,

a mineral hush reminiscent of earth after rain, and an aromatic breeze that arrives

wind-whipped and bracing before settling into comfort.

These perfumes invite you to think beyond notes alone. Some wrap around you;

others seem to lift you into cool, open air or draw you into the glow of a city after

dark. Join Suzy and Nicola for an episode devoted to sumptuous scents you can

almost reach out and touch...

The fragrances discussed in this episode are:
