In this episode of Radical Honesty with Integrity, I’m interviewing Simon Constantine, a perfumer based in Dorset and co-founder of ånd Fragrance.
His company is hand sourcing and hand formulating pure essential oils and essences. Their goal, in their words, is to reduce the stench of exploitation, mindless consumption, flagrant and disgusting over indulgence and pointless opalescence inviting us all to “stink the world”.
Simon shares his journey into perfumery, his commitment to sustainability, and his vision for ånd Fragrance. He also shares his thoughts on the relationship between smell and mental health. Simon believes that smell can be a powerful tool for healing and transformation.
Did you know that our sense of smell is processed by a part of the brain that also controls our memory? Simon encourages everyone to pay attention to the smells in their environment and to use them to connect with their emotions and their memories.
Simon explains how we create the association with smells we like or dislike by 2-3 years old which maybe influenced by the reaction’s of others.
We also talked about how:
- Smell is a powerful sense that can evoke strong emotions and memories.
- Perfume can be used to create a sense of well-being and connection.
- Sustainable perfume brands are making a positive impact on the environment and the communities that produce the ingredients.
- Using your voice to advocate for the protection of the environment.
This radically honest conversation with Simon is a fascinating, educational and inspiring, exploring the world of perfumery and the power of smell.
