199: Making perfume with the ghost of Eartha Kitt [feat. Harlem Perfume Co]

We have Teri Johnson of Harlem Candle Co. and Harlem Perfume Co. talking about her historically reverent collection of perfumes inspired by the great artists of the Harlem Renaissance: Billie Holiday, Langston Hughes, Josephine Baker, Duke Ellington, and Eartha Kitt — who's perfume was made in collaboration with her daughter Kitt Shapiro (and whose grandaughter Nora Mae starred in the campaign!). Johnson chats with us about the significance of the Harlem Renaissance, how her candle brand took off during the pandemic, and how Eartha Kitt "oversaw" the formula of her namesake perfume.

Also in this EP:
  • We're still blush blind apparently
  • The GAP scents are coming back (even though we already knew they never left)
  • A lightning round sniff test of Harlem Perfume Co's new Sephora-launched fragrances

[What we smell like today: Byredy Pulp, Prada Infusion De Rhubarbe]
