27. The Perfume Writer: A Conversation With Ariel Baker | It's Just Perfume

In this episode of It's Just Perfume, Steve sits down with journalist Ariel Baker from Marie Claire at Scent Bar Brooklyn. They talk about her career journey from health care into editorial and her personal journey from Jamaica to Massachusetts to New York City.

Ariel reveals her first perfume loves and her foray into niche as Marie Claire readers demanded more stories about the growing scent world. They talk about the relationships between brands, customers, journalists and content creators and how various generations discover perfume through different channels. We find out which bottles she grabs most often and what notes she's excited about. Iris, concrete anyone?
