Ever wondered how an artist's vision could be translated into an olfactory experience? Our latest Skincare Anarchy episode does just that, with the incredible Andrea Maack, artist and founder of her self-named fragrance line. Andrea shares about her journey, from using her artistic skills to inspire her unique approach to fragrance creation, weaving notes and raw materials into fragrances and how these scents take on lives of their own, even embarking on personal journeys. Andrea's bold and authentic approach to fragrance creation is a testament to her passion and dedication, making her line stand out in the fragrance industry.

But what's a fragrance without its packaging? Andrea's creativity extends to this aspect as well. Built to be visually pleasing, easy to hold, and ship, each package reflects the mood and personal journey of the fragrance it holds. One such fragrance, Solstice, encapsulates the essence of a luxury summer festival in Iceland, with a watermelon scent that evokes happy memories of summer nights in Andrea's native country. We explore the power of fragrance to transport us to different places, and how Andrea takes ordinary ingredients to create something unique and unexpected.

This journey into the world of fragrance with Andrea Mack is a fascinating tale of art, creativity, passion, and more!
