Which book would you choose?
Experience the intersection of storytelling and scent on the Paperback Perfumes Podcast. Each episode invites guests to share their perspectives and creative journeys, often sparking fresh reading inspiration or new ways of thinking about fragrance. My hope is that these conversations resonate with your own experiences and open the door to discoveries you haven’t encountered yet.
Episode 78- A Beautiful Grimoire
Grimoire Perfumes founder Troy (Trung) Vu, joins us to explore the rich intersection of fragrance, aesthetics, mythology, and artistic expression. A self‑taught perfumer, Troy’s creative path winds through years as a classically trained dancer, a makeup artist, and a decade spent in luxury retail and cosmetics. These experiences shape his approach to scent as an invisible art form built on instinct, memory, structure, and imagination.
Episode 5 - Individuals and Archetypes
In this episode, we are joined by Pep, also known as The Scentinel, a prominent figure in the fragrance community. Since 2017, Pep has captivated audiences with his deep-seated love for perfumes, particularly those crafted by niche and independent perfumers.
