In the first episode of the Perfume Making Podcast, Karen Gilbert introduces the podcast and shares her passion for demystifying the process of making perfume. While future episodes will focus on the technical aspects of creating fragrances, this episode is dedicated to exploring the reasons why listeners should consider making their own perfumes. Karen highlights the joy of working with scents and the opportunity to create unique fragrances for personal use or even for a business. She encourages listeners at all stages of their perfume-making journey to reflect on their reasons for pursuing this creative endeavour.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Karen explains that if someone loves scent, they should give perfume making a try.  Karen provides examples of where listeners may be in their perfume making journey and explains that going back to "why" can help someone get unstuck creatively. In future episodes, Karen will delve into the "how" of perfume making. BEST MOMENTS  "Nothing will ever be as personal and as an individual as a scent that you've created with your own hands." “[Perfumes] can make us feel happier. They can make us feel more energised, more relaxed. They can make us feel more sexy, more alert, more productive. They can make us feel calmer." "Making time for creativity is really important for those of us, especially who are in our heads a lot." "You're not going to get it right first time and don't expect to. It is a learning process and it does take a bit of practice." "You can be self-taught or you can train online or from books and actually go and create amazing perfumes that other people like, that other people are actually willing to part with money for."   VALUABLE RESOURCES Getting Started Guide: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/podcast-getting-started-guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind: https://karengilbert.info/artisan-perfumery-mastermind   ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.  Karen has inspired thousands of students to explore their olfactory sense and create their own personalised fragrances.
