What secrets does someone who works with the world's most exclusive perfume brands and has 76 fragrances in their personal collection actually know that the rest of us don't? In this week's episode, Kelly gets the ultimate fragrance education from Ethan Archer from Agency De Parfum! We're getting mind-blowing facts like why there are fewer professional perfumers than astronauts, the 800-year-old perfume house still making bestsellers, and which 500-year-old fragrance from 1533 is still flying off shelves. Plus, Ethan reveals he's wearing EIGHT sprays of perfume right now, why your nose goes blind to your own scent, and the real reason some people can't smell that they stink. We dive into whether seasonal fragrance switching is marketing or psychology, why dupes are like polyester couture, the truth about fragrance storage and expiration dates, and whether you need one signature scent or an entire fragrance wardrobe. From wedding day fragrance consultations to proper layering techniques, this episode will change how you think about scent forever. There's so much more fragrance wisdom coming in part 2 next week...
