In this episode, I chat with Thin Wild Mercury perfumer and founder Cathleen Cardinali! Cathleen is a self-taught, indie perfumer whose first collection, titled, “The Los Angeles Collection” has had incredible success, and includes unique unisex fragrances evocative of different iconic LA neighborhoods and spots.



And surprise: we get a bonus cameo from TWM’s co-founder, creative director, and Cathleen’s fiance (!), Anthony Polcino. We talk about how they source inspiration for their fragrances and packaging, their backgrounds prior to perfume, what it’s like being in business with your SO, some juicy reveals on the upcoming New York collection, and how they transitioned Thin Wild Mercury into a full-time business. And you best believe, we got Perfume Room listeners that sweet, sweet discount code. Also, today's Perfume 101 is all about skin scents!
