Show Notes
In this episode we're joined by Amanda Carr, founder of the Barnes Fragrance Fair, trend forecaster, and co-founder of We Wear Perfume. Amanda shares how her "accidental" creation has become a key event in the UK fragrance calendar, providing a platform for independent British perfume brands. We discuss the fair's village fête atmosphere that contrasts with traditional retail experiences, current fragrance trends from enduring gourmands to sustainability initiatives, and the fascinating connection between scent, music, and wellness. Amanda offers insights into the evolving British perfume industry and how young men are increasingly using fragrance as an emotional connector and identity marker. Join us for a fragrant conversation that showcases the creativity, community, and future of British perfumery.
