#262 - The Greatest Aventus Clone Ever

The Cologne Podcast

Join fragrance aficionado Dan from Insider Parfums as we whisk you away on an aromatic expedition unlike any other. Prepare to be captivated by the essence of Insidious, a fragrance that tips its cap to the vintage Aventus charm. Our discussion unfurls the delicate craftsmanship involved in recreating the allure of classic perfumes, navigating the intricate dance between originality and homage, and the value Insidious brings to the table when measured against its contemporary counterparts. This is not your everyday fragrance chat; it's a revelation of how scents we adore are meticulously brought back to life.
Ever wondered how a perfume earns its name? We share the compelling tale of how "Insidious" was chosen, diving into the collective brainstorming that led to its christening. Dan sheds light on the mixed bag of receptions within the fragrance community, the role of a fragrance 'producer', and the resilience needed when facing the critics. Plus, we can't help but indulge in a good laugh about the cheeky moniker of a certain celebrity's candle, serving a reminder of the playful side of perfume branding.
To close out our scented symphony, we reflect on the personal narratives of fragrance creators and the conundrum of wearing their own masterpieces. We navigate the financial intricacies of crafting exquisite scents, the tightrope walk of pricing, and the ethics of the clone fragrance market. There's also a nod to the enchanting Virde Redux and its contemporary reformulation. This episode is more than a scent trail; it's a full-bodied experience steeped in passion, wit, and the invisible art of perfume. Join us for an olfactory odyssey that promises to both educate and entertain.
