104. Gourmands Aren’t All A Piece of Cake (w/ Perfumer Hilde Soliani)

Perfume Royality Hilde Soliani, La Regina dei Gourmand//the Queen of Gourmands, is in the Perfume Room today! At first glance, you might say dessert scents are her bread and butter, but Hilde would be quick to tell you that *bread and butter scents* are also her bread and butter. And for that matter, so are her fish, oyster, and cheese fragrances. Her title bears great responsibility, and in Hilde's kingdom, no food group is left behind. We discuss her inspiration, her fragrance philosophy, becoming a perfumer at age 40, and lots of other magical musings along the way.
