Summary
Finally, a flavorist has entered the Perfume Room! Joan Harvey, Bell Flavors & Fragrances General Manager and R+D Senior Vice President, is this week's guest!
Why do certain flavor profiles become gold standards and who are these alleged flavor canons (think: the Chanel No. 5s or Santal 33s of the flavor world)? How is flavor made? How do flavorists train? Did flavorists have anything to do with the rise of gourmand perfumes? Has perfume permeated the flavor world similarly? FIND OUT TODAY!
And bonus points if you can guess the one product that is always created in tandem by both a perfumer AND a flavorist. 🤝

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. I am currently unscented. However, my scent of the day today earlier that I wore to a baptism, actually. Talk about versatility, am I right? Was ex-Nahilo, |
| 0:23.7 | Sontal Calling. Now, at this point, I'm a broken record about this perfume, so I will spare |
| 0:28.0 | you the review here now, because you can get all my thoughts on this fragrance in last |
| 0:33.1 | week's Hotline episode. I also talk about Sontal Calling in episode 151, and I also talk about it in |
| 0:40.8 | episode 141. Spoiler alert, I love this perfume. In case you missed it, last Friday, I posted an |
| 0:48.4 | entire bonus episode on Substack for paid subscribers. And if you don't already, very biased opinion, but you should |
| 0:56.2 | subscribe to the Perfume Room substack. It's perfumroom.substack.com. Like I said, that episode is for |
| 1:02.4 | paid subscribers, but you certainly don't have to be one. There's tons of bonus content, |
| 1:06.9 | like weekly catch-ups with past guests, and most of it is free. If you are able to become a paid |

And my last announcement before we get to our guest today is that smell club tickets for October will definitively be on sale this week for real. |
| 1:49.7 | Paid subscribers will get first access to tickets. |
| 1:52.0 | You know, I got to sweeten the pot a little bit. |
| 1:53.6 | But you can also get early access by joining my mailing list, which if you are not already on, |
| 1:57.9 | DM the perfume room Instagram at perfume room pod to get on it. |
| 2:01.8 | This month's theme is so highly requested that it will sell out. |
| 2:07.3 | Why you ask? |
| 2:08.5 | Because the theme is vanilla. |
| 2:11.9 | And these are five of my favorites. |
| 2:14.3 | And I also endeavored to fill the pack with vanillas that I'm hopeful you might not |
| 2:17.8 | have smelled before. It's going to be fun. It's going to be spooky. And of course, it's |
