Behind The Fragrance from Thomas Clipper

With less than 24 hours to go, we've got three exciting bits of news, two fantastic guests and of course one brilliant men's fragrance very very nearly ready to launch... Get yours here.

How do you find direction and a sense of purpose later in life? David Evans aka The Grey Fox shares his thoughts on calming down, finding purpose and - of course - the preview of Polaris that we sent him. Get Polaris today.

Polaris is out for pre-order right now - get it here. Does fragrance give you a direct route to greater calm and relaxation? Our guests today think so. Respected fragrance journalists Haydn Williams and Suzy Nightingale have taken the time to break down the role scent plays for them in finding a sense of balance in life...

We're launching Polaris up into space as part of the celebrations around our newest men's fragrance. In this episode we talk to Andy Grey about Britain's role in modern space exploration (surprisingly important!) and why getting creative is so important when you're considering escaping earth's atmosphere. Polaris is available now for pre-order at thomasclipper.com - get your hands on a bottle today.

Our new fragrance, Polaris, is available for pre-order right now (shipping 17th March). This new men's fragrance is inspired by slowing down, finding calm, and rediscovering your direction. So in our first episode of season 2 we hear from Carl Honore, a global ambassador of the 'slow' movement. Discover how he thinks about calm, focus and direction in this episode.

When we developed our new men's fragrance - Polaris - we wanted something to bring relaxation and calm - albeit with a bit of a playful twist. With the current state of the world, we think it's all the more important to find your direction and balance. So on the 10th of March we're dropping season 2 of Behind the Fragrance, with episodes coming out until the new scent launches on the 17th March 2022. We'll be speaking to fragrance experts about what helps them unwind, our friend of the podcast Grey Fox about finding direction in later life and - excitingly -  the team sending Polaris into the atmosphere about what it means to be a space agency today. Stay subscribed - Series 2 of Behind the Fragrance is coming...

Stu, Matt and Antonio get around the mics to go over the rollercoaster of the past 4 months of cologne development and the launch of Atlantic. What were their favourite moments? Listen on to find out... PS for loyal listeners, there's a special 'thank you' offer explained at the end of the episode which you can take advantage of at this link - the offer will be applied automatically at the final step of checkout if you use the above link.  Offer ends 31st June 2021, or when stocks run out - cannot be combined).

Today as a break from the fulfilment of our first Atlantic orders we've been researching some of our favourite fragrance facts. How many perfumes are there in the world? Do we all smell the same (is a rose a rose...)? Is Prince still alive? All will be revealed...

This week we're shipping the very first pre-ordered bottles of Atlantic (exciting!). Atlantic goes on sale for general purchase on Monday next week.  Our new neroli aside, in the wider world things are beginning to open up so we thought we'd take this chance to explore three of our favourite trips on the Atlantic - from the UK, to the USA and back across the ocean to Spain. Enjoy!

If you've ever wondered what happens after a Kickstarter ends, or how to run a successful crowdfunding campaign, this episode might be of interest. We've just completed our fifth Kickstarter and tenth crowdfunding campaign. We wanted to share a bit of the magic that goes into making a crowdfunding campaign successful. Spoiler alert: making magic involves some fairly dry logistics... We also share some of the things to avoid in crowdfunding, just in case you're about to make a terrible mistake!
