Summary
IT’S THE 100th EPISODE!!! Today, we are joined by DSM-Firmenich Principal Perfumer Sabine de Tscharner! Sabine is a unicorn in the industry because over the course of her career, she’s worked on EVERY category: fine fragrance, air care, body care -- all of it! Today, her focus is in the laundry space, where she’s bringing all kinds of innovations to the category. What makes a scent a shampoo scent versus say a detergent scent? What is the smell of ‘clean?’ Of 'moisturizing?' When does a scent trickle down from fine fragrance or up from body gel? Today we discuss it all.

Laundry Sauce, Cacheral Anais Anais, Courrèges Empreinte , Chanel No. 19, Guy Laroche Fidji

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. Today is such a big day. We have made it. We have officially |
| 0:15.7 | crossed the threshold to 100 episodes. It is honestly surreal to reflect back on the last two plus years and think about |
| 0:22.9 | all the different milestones that we have achieved along the way. We have heard personal stories from |
| 0:27.0 | so many luminaries, basically all my dream guests, in and outside the industry. We have had live |
| 0:32.3 | events. We've had virtual events. And of course, that leads me to what I am most proud of, |
| 0:37.2 | the community that we have |
| 0:38.3 | built along the way. In fact, Smell Club was an idea born from one of you, a listener who |
| 0:43.8 | DM me pitching that they wanted to be able to smell fragrances that I talked about with me as |
| 0:48.8 | I talked about them. And that is Smell Club, where I have found the pleasure to know so many of you |
| 0:53.7 | personally, and I look forward to hanging to know so many of you personally, |
| 0:57.4 | and I look forward to hanging out with all of you each and every month. |
| 0:58.8 | It is so special. |
| 1:01.9 | So all of this is to say, thank you. |
| 1:06.1 | The reason this podcast is what it is is because of you and your support, |
| 1:09.1 | and of course, our mutually shared obsession with fragrance. |
| 1:12.1 | So you know, I had to go big with episode 100, and for this episode, I wanted a guest who was illustrious and accomplished with wisdom |
| 1:17.2 | and years of industry experience, but also someone who is different from any other guest we've ever |
| 1:21.6 | had. And today's guest is exactly that. If you have listened to even like two episodes of perfume room, you know that a topic that |
| 1:29.5 | fascinates me deeply is scented consumer products. I'm not talking fine fragrance. I'm not talking |
| 1:34.7 | candles. I'm talking all the other products who sense are deeply ingrained in our brains, |
| 1:38.8 | our noses, the fabrics of society, pun intended, shampoos, detergents, bug sprays, cleaning products, |
| 1:45.5 | lotions, body gels, diaper creams, dryer sheets, and this obsession runs deep. |
