“I think a lot about what role scent plays for us, and it really always comes back to the idea that scent should be a pleasure. Essentially it’s a product that should bring you joy, it should bring you escape, or should bring you those little moments of levity—because it's not a necessity,” says beauty reporter Bee Shapiro, writer for the New York Times and founder of the fragrance brand Ellis Brooklyn. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, host and mindbodygreen beauty director Alexandra Engler chats with Shapiro on her beauty philosophy, favorite products, and why the fragrance industry has a reputation for being secretive.
