We explore her <em>Rococo</em> collection—a celebration of joy, pleasure, and the subtle politics of beauty. Marie-Pierre shares the personal memories and poetic influences behind her work, revealing how nostalgia and creativity shape her approach to perfumery. Our conversation is a reflection on how scent connects us—to our past, to one another, and to the simple pleasures that make life feel beautifully alive.</p><h4><br></h4><p>Fragrances mentioned:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/miskeo/allegorie-de-l-ete\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Allégorie de l'été</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/miskeo/nature-morte-avec-pommes\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nature morte avec pommes</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/miskeo/portrait-de-madame-et-son-chat\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Portrait de Madame et son chat</a></p><p><br></p><p>Poems discussed:</p><p><a href=\"https://allpoetry.com/Raw-With-Love\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Raw With Love - Charles Bukowski&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.poeticous.com/shelley/evening-ponte-al-mare-pisa\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Evening La Monte, Pisa - Percy Shelley</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44992/a-birthday\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A Birthday - Christina Rossetti</a></p><p><a href=\"https://poets.org/poem/instead-depression\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instead of Depression - Andrea Gibson</a> </p><p><a href=\"https://allpoetry.com/poem/15374223-Wild-geese-by-Mary-J-Oliver\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Wild Geese - Mary Oliver</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Find Miskeo Parfums online here</p><p>  </p><p>Instagram: </p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/miskeoparfums/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@miskeoparfums</a></p><p><br></p><p>Website: </p><p><a href=\"https://miskeoparfums.com/en-au\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">miskeoparfums.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Theme music for the show was created by <a href=\"https://www.raulsanchezijorge.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Raul Sanchez I Jorge</a>.
