My guest this week is Nick Gilbert. Nick, along with his colleague Pia Long, is the co-founder of Boujee Bougies, a UK based fine fragrance and candle brand and the pair also run Olfiction - a fragrance consultancy.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>During the podcast we discussed Nick’s background in perfume retail with Boots, Les Senteurs and Penhaligons and then his move into forming his own company with Pia. Last year their own brand Boujee Bougies launched their first range of fine fragrances after a successful debut in the home fragrance category. Boujee Bougies seems to encapsulate all of Nick’s past experience into one forward looking brand with a story to tell and definite point of view. I absolutely love their fragrance ‘Gilded’, which Nick described as “Light, space, serenity, incense resin dipped in gold.” The whole range is worth checking out via their website, with new physical retail partners coming on board soon. It was a pleasure to spend time in Nick’s company and (as you can tell) he’s extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the job he does.</p><p><br></p><p>Nick&nbsp;mentioned the following products he uses in his morning/evening routines:</p><p>The Body Shop - Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel</p><p><a href=\"https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/body/shower-gels/pink-grapefruit-shower-gel/p/p083057\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/body/shower-gels/pink-grapefruit-shower-gel/p/p083057</a></p><p>CeraVe&nbsp;- Hydrating Oil Cleanser</p><p><a href=\"https://www.cerave.co.uk/skincare/moisturisers/hydrating-foaming-oil-cleanser\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.cerave.co.uk/skincare/moisturisers/hydrating-foaming-oil-cleanser</a></p><p>La Roche Posay - Hyrda Phase Moisturiser</p><p><a href=\"https://www.laroche-posay.co.uk/en_GB/hydraphase-uv-spf-25-light-daily-protective-hyaluronic-acid-moisturiser/LRP_172.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.laroche-posay.co.uk/en_GB/hydraphase-uv-spf-25-light-daily-protective-hyaluronic-acid-moisturiser/LRP_172.html</a></p><p>Hada Labo - Eye Cream</p><p><a href=\"https://www.superdrug.com/skin/face-skin-care/anti-ageing-face-cream/hada-labo-tokyo-smoothing-anti-fatigue-eye-cream-15ml/p/798292\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.superdrug.com/skin/face-skin-care/anti-ageing-face-cream/hada-labo-tokyo-smoothing-anti-fatigue-eye-cream-15ml/p/798292</a></p><p>Biore - Aqua Rich SPF</p><p><a href=\"https://www.superdrug.com/skin/sun-care/face-sun-cream/biore-uv-aqua-water-essence-sunscreen-spf30-50ml/p/830899\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.superdrug.com/skin/sun-care/face-sun-cream/biore-uv-aqua-water-essence-sunscreen-spf30-50ml/p/830899</a></p><p>Evening routine - Hyaluronic Acid Toner &amp; Retinol Serum</p><p><br></p><p>Boujee Bougies - Gilded</p><p><a href=\"https://boujeebougies.com/products/gilded\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://boujeebougies.com/products/gilded</a></p><p><br></p><p>You can find Boujee Bougies on Instagram here:&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/boujeebougies\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/boujeebougies</a></p><p><br></p><p>You can find their website here</p><p><a href=\"https://boujeebougies.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://boujeebougies.com/</a></p><p>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</p><p>You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.
