“Virtue is like precious odours, most fragrant when it is crushed.”― Baroness Emmuska Orczy, The Scarlet Pimpernel In this episode I’m joined by Katrina Cochrane, founder of Archer Farrar Perfume Atelier. Katrina’s journey into natural perfumery began with her love for plants and aromatherapy, and today, she creates stunning perfumes using only the finest sustainably sourced botanicals. We discuss her personal journey from aromatherapy to the wine industry, and how she built Archer Farrar. We dive into the craft of natural perfumery, exploring the differences between natural and synthetic ingredients, and how fragrance evokes deep emotional connections. Katrina shares the challenges she faces as a natural perfumer—especially when it comes to sourcing quality ingredients— and how she stays true to her vision of creating perfumes that honour nature.Fragrances mentioned:Peony Cologne - Archer FarrarDark Cedar - Archer FarrarEmbrace - Archer FarrarGreen Vetiver - Archer FarrarForest Balsam - Archer FarrarSandara - Archer FarrarCologne Royale - DiorPeony & Blush Suede - Jo MaloneAnais Anais - Cacharel Taylor - Taylor SwiftGardenia - Archer FarrarBook discussed: The Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Emmuska OrczyFind Archer Farrar here: Instagram: @archerfarrarperfumeWebsite: archerfarrar.com.auTheme music for the show was created by Raul Sanchez I Jorge.
