The Sniff
United Kingdom
Listeners wanting a completed back-catalogue of niche and artisan perfume house founder interviews
The Sniff Perfume Podcast is hosted by UK fragrance blogger Nicola Thomis, and across two seasons it dug into niche and artisan perfumery through founder-led interviews rather than launch-of-the-week reviews - guests included Linda Pilkington of Ormonde Jayne, the team behind Commodity Fragrances, and the oud specialists at Strangelove.
The run is complete rather than ongoing: two seasons, closing with Linda Pilkington on Ormonde Jayne's history. That makes this an archive rather than a subscription, and the archive is the reason it is here.
One practical note: the domain often quoted for this show, thesniff.co.uk, does not resolve. The archive lives at the-sniff.com, with episodes on Podbean, Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Founder-level interviews with smaller niche and artisan houses are a genre few UK podcasts cover this directly, which is why the back-catalogue keeps its place here.
Highlights
- Founder-led interviews on niche and artisan houses (Ormonde Jayne, Commodity Fragrances, Strangelove) rarely covered this directly elsewhere
- UK-hosted with a genuine trade and blogging background behind it
- Full back-catalogue freely accessible on Podbean, Apple Podcasts and Spotify
