57 - Amanda Stevens on the multitude of ways scent can transform a holiday experience

Posted August 17, 2022

Description

Amanda Stevens is a perfumer, scent designer, artist & shop owner.

Her unique way of storytelling through scent can be found in properties and brands across Australia, and her online store explores a retail experience of handmade, bespoke aromas and collaborations with other artisans.

After spending time working for international cosmetic companies, Amanda realised that the world of perfumery had lost its spark to a world of mass-production. Believing that scent should be an individual experience, born from the trade itself, she works with others to strengthen their brand and create their own scent based on their own story.

Now Principal Scent Designer for a myriad of hosted homes, brands and stores, with works published in Australian & international magazines, and a thriving online store, Amanda’s distinct style and true artisan approach is changing the scent landscape.

Amanda is such a treat to chat with, I came away from our discussion a few weeks back feeling as though I’d just had a therapy session. I hope you walk away from this episode feeling likewise.
