Perfume Nation: Hot Takes and Deep Dives in the Fragrance World

In this conversation, Maria Meliora and Amitay Eshel discuss the relationship between skin and fragrance. They explore topics such as the role of genetics, hormones, and microbiome in how we perceive smells on our skin. They also address the safety of essential oils and the debate between natural and synthetic ingredients in skincare and perfumery. We break down the effectiveness of oil-based versus alcohol-based perfumes and the use of occlusives to enhance scent longevity. In this exclusive conversation, Maria Meliora and Amitay Eshel unveil the most important features of the relationship between skincare and fragrance. They highlight the critical importance of pH balance on fragrance absorption, the effects of humidity and temperature on how we perceive scent, and the changes in scent perception during pregnancy and other life fluctuations. They also touch on the importance of sleep, detoxification, and incorporating moringa into the diet for healthier skin and better body odor. 00:00 How does one become a skin expert: Amitay Eshel 04:53 The Role of Genetics, Hormones, and Microbiome in Scent Perception 07:41 Skin Differences Between Men and Women 11:57 Understanding Skin Signature and Microorganisms 20:49 The Safety of Essential Oils and the Natural vs. Synthetic Debate 25:53 Skincare and Fragrance: Processing and Ingredient Safety 31:15 Oil-Based vs. Alcohol-Based Perfumes: Absorption vs. Evaporation 36:15 Enhancing Scent Longevity with Occlusives 40:07 The Impact of pH Balance on Fragrance Absorption 43:02 The Effects of Humidity and Temperature on Scent 50:30 Changes in Scent Perception During Hormonal Fluctuations 55:14 Prioritizing Sleep and Detoxification for Healthier Skin Young Goose Website: https://www.younggoose.com/ Young Goose Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/young_goose Young Goose Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/biohacking-beauty-the-anti-aging-skincare-podcast/id1552026927 Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4ekyDFzsglp9ACO4uFZeun Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFFc-VK6w_5ejwcCCweV-Ig Sniff for yourself: https://www.melioraparfums.com/shop Thank you for your trust and support, see you soon in the next video 💋 Contribute to keep our community going: https://www.melioraparfums.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=643dc3d558b7446e3e36b115 Contact Info: Social media: @pefume.nation.podcast, @meliora.maria Official Website: https://melioraparfums.com Fashion + Aerial Arts: www.aerialgoth.com ✍ Channel's Address: Maria Meliora P.O.

Sniff for yourself: https://www.melioraparfums.com/shop Welcome to the Perfume Nation Podcast! This week, we dive into a topic that sparks countless comments—our addiction to collecting, sampling, and identifying with our hobbies and cherished objects, often beyond what a balanced, healthy lifestyle would suggest. We explore the true nature of how we experience the world, whether minimalism and quitting cold turkey are the only effective solutions, and why certain diets and rules can make things better or worse.

Warning: This may ruin the fragrance youtube for you. You might never want to watch another “Panty Dropper”, “Men go crazy” perfume video with the same child-like excitement or wonder. Perfume Nation, we are in for a wild ride! In this episode, we decode attraction, and discover shocking, and rather uncomfortable data-backed facts about our most watched perfume videos of all time: Panty Dropping Fragrances, Most complimented Perfumes, Sexy, and Alluring Scents. Good News: It turns out it is true, Sexiness is in the smell (too). Science is proving it bit by bit. What we smell strongly affects our feelings, yet it is not the yumminess of the scent that gets us going. Bad News: All we were told by marketing or influencers about complimentary fragrances are honest lies, blind leading the blind. We do smell sexiness, yet pheromone scents are a scam. We do universally like gourmand perfumes, yet perfume is an obstacle to attracting a suitable partner. And maybe some of you knew it on the back of your mind? If so, share your observations!

Who is a perfumer? It's not as simple a question as we might think. The role of a perfumer, along with their rights, visibility, autonomy, and authorship, has been evolving over centuries, with little progress in protecting the most prolific, creative, and influential contributors from IP slavery, forced anonymity, and many other issues. Social media, in this case, emerged as a hero (for once!), and with the help of the fragrance community and beauty industry-affiliated enthusiasts, we began to uncover the people behind our favorite scents. These individuals have shaped history and cultural legacy, even influencing dating norms to an extent. Who would want to hear on the third date, "Oh, my father/mother wears this scent"? We have an abnormally long memory for scents, yet the people who shape our olfactory history enjoy few rights over what they contributed to society. Is this finally about to change?

In this enlightening episode of "Perfume Nation," we dive into the heart of the fragrance world at the renowned international fragrance expo, Esxence, held annually in early March in Milan, Italy. It is known for gathering distinguished guests and offering insightful lectures on the latest trends in perfume sales and production. While the world seems fixated on the booming Chinese market, we ponder the overlooked potential of Latin America in the fragrance sector. What makes one market more appealing than the other, and are we missing out on untapped opportunities? Moreover, we tackle the intriguing trend of virtue signaling within the industry. As more companies jump on the bandwagon of sustainability, we question the authenticity of this surge. With a proliferation of lectures and discussions on environmental friendliness at the expo, we ask: is this just another trend, or are there genuine intentions behind the green facade? Don't miss this episode for a candid look at the world of perfumery, where we unravel the glitz, dissect market dynamics, and challenge the status quo of sustainability in the fragrance industry.
