Summary
Kelly Jones, Founder of Kelly + Jones fragrances, is in the Perfume Room today! We love a controversial perfume line and this one is no exception. While wine aficionados frown upon and often go as far as actually forbidding wearing fragrance in the tasting room, Kelly + Jones fragrances are specifically meant for exactly that! Each scent is inspired by the tasting notes of a different wine or spirit and is best enjoyed alongside said wine or spirit. No – the Kelly + Jones Chardonnay scent doesn’t smell like you spilled a glass of a buttery California chard all over your clothes (though you know I’d wear that); instead it has notes of amber, oak, orris, and apple meant to highlight a said California Chard’s woody, vanillic and fruity qualities...
Kelly and I chat about everything from her prior career in the industry in marketing, the origin story of K+J, and how when in doubt, follow the cherry blossoms. And YOU KNOW we conclude the episode with fragrance/alcohol pairing and tasting!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. My send of the day today is wedding in Oaxaca from Kismit |
| 0:15.4 | Elfactive. Now if you guys follow Kismet Elfactive on Instagram or maybe you saw my story this past weekend, |
| 0:20.7 | you might have seen that the brilliant, wonderful founder of Kismiddle Factive on Instagram or maybe you saw my story this past weekend. You might |
| 0:21.0 | have seen that the brilliant, wonderful founder of Kismidlefaktiv, Shabitavakol, who also |
| 0:26.4 | happened to be the guest on the one-year anniversary live show of perfume room is about to undergo |
| 0:31.0 | brain surgery. Shabi is just a ray of light and her fragrances are a reflection of her brilliance. If you want to support |
| 0:40.6 | her, there is a GoFundMe and I will include the link in the notes of this episode. And I also |
| 0:45.1 | just want to call out that another beautiful way to support our friend right now is by supporting |
| 0:49.5 | Kismet Ulfactive. You know I love her fragrances so much, so I thought I would give you sort of quick |
| 0:55.9 | five second reviews of three that have just made their way into my forever favorite list |
| 1:02.8 | that I love so dearly. Let's start with the delicate beauty that is in Mfaya, which is a soft, |
| 1:08.9 | dewy aquatic floral that blurs the lines of your skin and the |
| 1:12.8 | fragrance. It becomes one with the wearer in the most watercolor sheer type of way, |
| 1:17.7 | and notes of matte, lily of the valley, and lotus are what I smell most. Wedding in mohaka, |
| 1:23.2 | which is what I am currently wearing, is this sort of gently smoky and peppery and slightly piquant |
| 1:28.4 | fragrance with notes of violet leaf, ginger, gardenia, and asmanthus, all wrapped in this sort |
| 1:34.0 | of fleshy, green coconut. It is a green musky, enchanting scent. And tuberose tantra, |
| 1:42.5 | this is the most witchy tuburos I have ever worn. It actually conjures a very |
| 1:47.7 | specific smell for me. This is a very niche reference, but if you have ever gotten a custom occult |
| 1:52.0 | candle from enchantments in the East Village, which, hello, you know I have, the oil that they |
| 1:57.4 | anoint the candles in, this kind of smells like that. It smells magical. |
| 2:04.3 | If you've been curious about Kismidlifactive or perhaps you have samples already and just |
