Debunking Fragrance Myths W/ The Queen Of Scent, Veronique Gabai- E.425

In this episode, Ekta speaks with Veronique Gabai, a fragrance expert and founder of her own fragrance line, to dispel common myths about fragrance. Gabai provides insight into several misconceptions, such as the belief that natural fragrances are always safer and better than synthetic ones.

Gabai explains that “natural” doesn’t necessarily mean better or safer, as some natural ingredients can be irritating or even toxic in certain concentrations. She notes that some synthetic ingredients have been specifically designed to mimic natural scents, and that synthetic fragrances have undergone rigorous safety testing to ensure they don’t pose a risk to consumers.

She also touches on the role of fragrance in skincare products, saying, “Fragrance can be added to mask unpleasant odors of raw materials or to enhance the overall sensorial experience of the product.” Gabai adds that many people enjoy the sensory experience of fragrance and that it can be an important part of self-care.

Gabai also addresses the idea that fragrance-free products are always better for sensitive skin. She notes that while fragrance can be a potential irritant, there are many other ingredients in skincare products that can cause sensitivity. She says, “Fragrance-free doesn’t necessarily mean irritation-free,” and encourages people to pay attention to ingredient lists and patch test products before using them.

Throughout the episode, Gabai emphasizes the importance of individual preference and experimentation when it comes to fragrance. She says, “It’s really a personal thing. Fragrance is all about pleasure, about the enjoyment of scent,” and encourages listeners to try different scents and formulations to find what works best for them.

Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the world of fragrance and debunks common myths. Gabai’s expertise in the field adds depth and nuance to the conversation, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in fragrance and skincare.
