The $4,800 Perfume Secret & Why Some Scents Don't Suit You!

The fragrance deep dive continues! In Part 2 with Ethan Archer from Agence De Parfum, we're uncovering the luxury secrets the perfume world doesn't want you to know. What makes a perfume cost £4,800? Why does the same scent smell incredible on your friend but terrible on you? And is there really a "universal" fragrance that works on absolutely everyone?

Ethan reveals the most expensive perfume in his collection, the weirdest fragrance notes he's ever encountered (hint: one involves blood), and the shocking science behind why your skin chemistry can make or break a scent. Plus, he attempts the ultimate challenge - matching Kelly with her perfect fragrance based on her personality alone.

From the trillion scents your nose can detect to the survival instinct that makes us all love the smell of rain, this episode is packed with fragrance secrets that'll completely change your perfume game!
