Ep. 363: A Perfumer’s Journey with Rodrigo Flores-Roux

Born in Mexico City to a family of aesthetes, Rodrigo Flores-Roux was destined to be a perfumer. He reminisces about his fragrance-loving grandmothers, his training in Versailles, and the more than 500 perfumes he’s created—including Clinique Happy and Arquiste Misfit, the Fragrance Foundation’s 2021 Indie Fragrance of the Year. Plus, we talk about the future of perfumery and how he and his colleagues at Givaudan, in New York City, are developing new aroma ingredients using upcycling techniques.

Ep. 356: What LED Light Is Really Doing to Your Skin & The Week’s Beauty News

There are lots of at-home light therapy gadgets that claim to benefit your skin, but they also raise questions: If red LED light boosts hair growth, what happens when you use it on your face?

Plus, Jenn’s tested the Solawave skincare wand with red light therapy and shares her review.
