Perfume Room

Perfume Room is hosted by Emma Vernon, a comedian and self-described 'perfumehead' who was one of the early creators on PerfumeTok before launching this show. The format leans on genuine trade access: guests include working master perfumers and industry figures rather than only fellow enthusiasts, which sets it apart from most reviewer-led fragrance podcasts.

Verified active as of the most recent Apple Podcasts listing (checked 6 July 2026): Episode 214 published 17 June 2026 featured a joint conversation between perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui and evaluator Lauren Shyman; Episode 213 (3 June) covered the ScentFEST niche-perfume convention with Sebastian Jara; Episode 212 (27 May) interviewed master perfumer Dominique Ropion; Episode 211 (12 May) spoke with Dr Rachel Herz on the neuroscience of smell; and Episode 210 (5 May) featured Sonia Constant, a senior Givaudan perfumer and founder of Ella K. That is a consistent multi-week cadence with genuinely notable industry guests, and the show carries a 4.9-star rating from 607 Apple reviews. It extends into 'Smell Club', a monthly curated sample subscription, and live 'Smells Like Love' tour dates tied to the June 2026 ScentFEST event in San Francisco.

One correction worth flagging: the domain often cited for this show, perfumeroompod.com, currently resolves to a 'coming soon' holding page - it is not the live site. The working home for the show is Emma Vernon's own site and her companion Substack. The content itself is US-centric (guests, retailers and events skew American), so UK readers should treat it as an industry-access supplement rather than a UK-relevant recommendations source.
