221: The one job in fragrance that would make us TOO powerful

221: The one job in fragrance that would make us TOO powerful

There's a certain position in the fragrance industry that gets to call the shots, finesse the juice, and influence how fragrances go from brief to shelves — a position that your hosts wished they knew existed during the "figuring out what we wanna be" phase of our academic careers. We can't turn back time, but we can grill said figure: Kyle Ferguson, fragrance evaluator at Givaudan. He's the go-between the client and perfumer, facilitating communication, translating scent directives, and helping to make a fragrance its best and most beloved. Kyle generously shares his insight and experiences, behind-the-scenes of the perfume biz.
