The Art of Natural Perfumery with Mandy Aftel

“Every culture in history has used natural scented materials for the most important things in life—eating, praying, making love, being buried,” says psychotherapist turned natural perfumer Mandy Aftel, in this fascinating interview. The founder of the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents, in Berkley, California, is here to celebrate the release of her latest book, The Museum of Scent, by sharing a few of her stories. She tells us about the time she taught Apple’s Jony Ive natural perfumery; how she scented Leonard Cohen’s funeral; why oud is misunderstood; the controversial story of ambergris; the backstory of a rare gardenia extract from Tahiti; and so much more. We’re calling it now: This is a Fat Mascara classic. Enjoy!

Ep. 507: Goop for the Masses, Priscilla & The Week’s Beauty News

Has beauty culture come to a stand still? A recent New York Times article lamenting the current lack of cultural innovation got us thinking.

The Everything Guide to Lasers with Dr. Robert Anolik

What’s the difference between lasers and LED (light emitting diodes), IPL (intense pulsed light), RF (radiofrequency) and all the other professional therapies and devices out there? In this interview (originally aired in 2019), dermatologist Robert Anolik, MD, explains it all: Which lasers (Q-Switched, Vbeam, Excel V, Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant) help with which skin concerns? What’s the difference between a drive-by “laser facial” and the treatment you’ll get in a doctor’s office? What’s the best laser for your money? How do you find a laser expert you trust? And is there anything you can do to improve certain skin issues if you can’t afford a laser treatment?

The Glossy Book Club with Marisa Meltzer

Listen in to our live-recorded podcast with Marisa Meltzer, the author of Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier. We treated this interview as a book club of sorts, and asked Marisa all of your (and our!) pressing questions. She discusses her interviews with Emily Weiss, the rise (and plateau?) of Glossier, her reporting process for the book, why the #GirlBoss era feels so cringey now, and—most importantly—who should play Emily Weiss when Marisa’s book gets optioned (hopefully!) for a movie. We hope you enjoy this fun and freewheeling conversation, including a special appearance from Marisa’s bulldog, Joan.
