Episode 295 of Love At First Scent
This was a CZcams Live broadcast streamed on Thursday 7th July 2022. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
This episode was the first part of a very special two part interview with Renaud Salmon, the creative director at Amouage. (Here's a link to part two: • Renaud Salmon, Amouage... .) During our discussion, we covered the brand's latest release - Opus XIV Royal Tobacco, composed by Cecile Zarokian - as well as the changes Renaud has brought about during his relatively brief time at Amouage, and the issue of how his work fits into the wider context of Omani culture and aesthetics.

Renaud is such an inspiration. Open minded, humble, curious and super creative. I could listen to you talk together for hours. Such a good call to plan another interview!
The 'Lector' concept is amazing!!!
Wonderful interview Mr. P, what a joy to hear Renaud talk about perfume, culture and change. Thank you, I'm looking forward to the next part of the interview!
“Change needs to be taken carefully. Change is good when you understand the past. <…> change is required (…), respectful of the past” - probably the best quote of the interview.
Fascinating interview. Royal Tobacco sounds amazing. I wonder if Renaud is familiar with the 2003 (Pulitzer Prize winning) play, “Anna In The Tropics,” by Cuban playwright Nilo Cruz. It’s about a dashing lector who reads “Anna Karenina” to cigar factory workers, only to see the lives and relationships of the workers begin to parallel those in the novel. Passionate stuff!
Woow what a fantastic interview, we had the chance to see the evolution of Renaud in Amouage and what a fantastic opportunity to learn from that experience, this is priceless! I'm dying to try Royal Tobacco, as one of my favorite notes I've been looking for the perfect cigar fragrance, right now Royal Crown's Habanos is the closest and my favorite, they capture that cigar stink that you get when you open a cuban cigar tube or box and some of the smell that you get when you light one, I'm not a regular smoker but every year I enjoy smoking one or two good habanos, my favorite are Romeo & Julieta Churchil's, I totally get the changes in taste and smell from the start to finish that he talks about, it's an experience every fragrance aficionado should try. Partagas are also delicious cigars, when I saw the box... it brings memories. Amouage has been growing on me as my favorite brand, I've been using Overture in the heat of the Chihuahuan desert and it's amazing!!! It develops very different in the heat than in the cold weather, it's like having two fragrances in one. Still a lot to try from the house but I'm hooked and as a designer I really like the refresh and new more subtle and elegant direction of the brand's image. As always a pleasure Dariush and many thanks to Renaud for sharing his experiences with us!!!
Thanks to the both of you for sharing such a nice chat about Amouage and the perfume world with us. Always such a pleasure! I really like Renaud’s approach. He seems like a very polite, very interested and very reflective person. He is of course also Belgian, just like me, so that helps ;-) I wonder if he would willing to bring some samples for me to Brussels :) Thank you again gentlemen and already looking forward to part II.
Thank you so much for this wonderful interview!
Oh! We missed it! Fantastic interview!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am enjoying my firs Amouage Lyric woman and is exquisite a long journey of smells in my skin there is a point that smell like under my skin from Franchesca Bianchi and then changed again, my favorite is the opening so the best for me is put it in the clothes. There is no doubt that they use the best ingredients. I am impressed with Lyric woman 💜
Thank you for this fascinating interview! It's wonderful to be able to listen to people in the perfume industry with a vision, an ethos, and a high degree of coherence and consistency. Well done, Renaud! I do believe that beauty will save the world.
What a fantabulous interview! Thanks for this
Thank you for such a thoughtful interview. I am new to Amouage- Epic woman is my first. I was drawn to the scent without knowing anything about the brand. Your conversation with Renaud is so much more than a perfumer hyping a new fragrance release- it’s a conversation about history, culture, a deep respect for the past, and an elegant way of moving the brand forward. I can’t wait to listen to part 2 of this conversation, and I look forward to learning more about Amouage and adding more to my collection.
I can't wait for part 2
This interview has convinced me I need to visit Oman to 1) visit the Amouage site and 2) experience and buy non-IFRA compliant perfumes and attars.
Cool video, I do hope big things are ahead for Amouage. Take care
What interests me the most is that you've got Tobacco and then you've got Amouage Tobacco, and I am quite intrigued to see how my nose reacts to the latter!
This is in the must try list for me.
Use a perfum that belongs to a Country that is part of a culture is other experience, I am glad to celebrate my 50th birthday with this experience
damn, got the notication an hour late lol
