Summary

Helena Bonham Carter calls perfume designer Azzi Glasser a “white witch” for her uncanny ability to transform personalities into scents. Learn how she develops custom fragrances to help actors like Jude Law, Alicia Vikander, and Orlando Bloom get into character for their movie roles and how she creates bespoke perfumes for private clients such as Kylie Minogue and Cindy Crawford. Plus, she talks about bottling the smell of rain; why the scent of Play-Doh is so addictive, and how to distinguish between woodsy notes like guaiac wood, cedarwood, sequoia, and sandalwood.
