Sarah really stole the show. I have seen some interviews with perfumers and most of them were boring, even perfumers I really love. But this interview was both informative and entertaining, Sarah has a lot of charisma and personality , she should consider starting a KZfaq channel. I think I should sample some of her fragrances

Natural ingredients. The first comment was spot on, they use this in food as well. castorium is a natural ingredient that can taste, or smell like caramel, or vanilla when used in various amounts. however, this ingredient comes from the scent gland of a male beaver.

This video was BEYOND fascinating. When I was growing up in southern Virginia we had an old mimosa tree in the front yard. Individually the flowers smelled so good, kinda like watermelon and gardenia mixed. But when the whole tree was blooming and you smelled the "overall" effect it smelled *just* like hot dogs. So know what you mean about the whole rose thing. Whenever I smell perfumes that claim to have "mimosa" I always think it smells nothing like actual mimosa.

I'm from Poland and every polish grandma has an amber necklace. I need to visit mine and heat up the ambers and check if I can smell anything ;)
