36: It Puts The Perfume On Its Skin

"Skin scents" are a newly trendy fragrance aesthetique that we can all thank/blame the people who brought you 'no-makeup makeup' and con culture. Just kidding (maybe)! We've had a vague idea of what skin scents are—transparent, musky, "natural"-smelling, non-perfume-y fragrances that mold to the wearer's skin chemistry—but not what's actually in the juice. So we took it up with the molecule master Geza Schöen, perfumer and founder of Escentric Molecules. The fragrance brand's debut fragrance isolated Iso E Super, the molecule that started it all. This lab creation is what gives skin scents that je ne sais quoi responsible for the radiant, ethereal, intimate quality that skin scents have come to be known for. Schöen gives us a breakdown of this molecule as well as all of the molecules in the Escentric Molecule line, along with comprehensive insight into synthetic aroma molecules and their value to the fragrance industry.

Also, for loyal listeners or anybody who read this far down in this episode note, grab 15% off of Escentric Molecules' 10pc Discovery Set and/or M+ Discovery Set on LuckyScent.com with the code 'SMELLYA'.

[What we smell like: Issey Miyake L'Eau D'issey Pour Homme, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Intense]
