Ben Janoušek - CEO (UK & Europe) Kaorium - 'The Scent Sommelier'
<p>This week’s guest is Ben Janoušek, the CEO UK & Europe for Kaorium, a company that builds tech to enhance the in-store customer experience with fragrance. Billed as ‘the scent sommelier’, Kaorium sits at the intersection between retail, technology and the customer. It’s an intuitive table-top unit that helps fragrance discovery using words around feelings, emotion and mood, rather than brands, perfume notes or materials.</p><br><p>Ben and his team are keen to make the perfume shopping experience as frictionless and fun as possible, with no barriers to participation. It was fascinating to find out more about his career to date, his extra curricular activities in the theatre (!) and of course his morning and evening routines.</p><br><p>Ben mentioned the following products from his grooming routines:</p><br><p>Original Source - Mint & Tea Tree shower gel</p><p><a href="https://www.original-source.com/uk/products/originals/mint-tea-tree-shower-gel/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.original-source.com/uk/products/originals/mint-tea-tree-shower-gel/</a></p><p>Sure - Deodorant </p><p><a href="https://www.suredeodorant.co.uk/products.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.suredeodorant.co.uk/products.html</a></p><p>Wella - Shockwaves hair gel</p><p><a href="https://www.wella.com/international/about-wella/shockwaves" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wella.com/international/about-wella/shockwaves</a></p><p>Parfums de Marly - Haltane</p><p><a href="https://uk.parfums-de-marly.com/products/haltane" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://uk.parfums-de-marly.com/products/haltane</a></p><p>Gallivant - Gdańsk</p><p><a href="https://www.gallivant-perfumes.com/products/gdansk-eau-de-parfum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gallivant-perfumes.com/products/gdansk-eau-de-parfum</a></p><br><p>You can find out more about Kaorium here:</p><br><p>Brand website:</p><p><a href="https://www.kaorium.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.kaorium.com/</a></p><br><p>Instagram:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/discoverkaorium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/discoverkaorium</a></p><br><p>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</p><p>You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.

Roja Dove - Founder of Roja London
<p>This week’s guest is recognisable by his first name alone - and is someone that’s been at the vanguard of niche and luxury perfumery throughout the 21st century. Roja Dove is the Founder of Roja London. He’s had a long and storied career that’s taken him from working personally with the Guerlain family to setting up the ‘Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie’ in the Salon de Parfums in Harrods, then going on to create his own brand, Roja London.</p><br><p>I sat down with Roja in the brand’s boutique in Burlington Arcade in London in April 2026. We chatted about his background, his career, his favourite products - and what he thinks about the man that looks back at him in the mirror. This was a hugely enjoyable conversation - and thanks to Roja for being so kind, thoughtful and generous with his time.</p><br><p>Roja mentioned the following products from his morning and evening routines:</p><br><p>La Roche Posay - Effaclar Toner </p><p><a href="https://www.laroche-posay.co.uk/en_GB/%C2%A0effaclar-clarifying-toner-for-oily-blemish-prone-skin-200ml/LRP_065.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.laroche-posay.co.uk/en_GB/%C2%A0effaclar-clarifying-toner-for-oily-blemish-prone-skin-200ml/LRP_065.html</a></p><br><p>Chanel - Sublimage Eye Serum</p><p><a href="https://www.chanel.com/gb/skincare/p/147960/sublimage-le-serum-yeux-ultimate-eye-serum-reinvigorates-and-illuminates/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.chanel.com/gb/skincare/p/147960/sublimage-le-serum-yeux-ultimate-eye-serum-reinvigorates-and-illuminates/</a></p><br><p>Chanel - Antaeus stick deodorant</p><p><a href="https://www.chanel.com/gb/fragrance/p/118700/antaeus-deodorant-stick/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.chanel.com/gb/fragrance/p/118700/antaeus-deodorant-stick/</a></p><br><p>Roja London - Bespoke perfume</p><p><a href="https://rojalondon.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rojalondon.com/</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>You can find out more here:</p><br><p>Brand website:</p><p><a href="https://rojalondon.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rojalondon.com/</a></p><br><p>Instagram:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rojalondon/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/rojalondon/</a></p><br><p>Roja Dove on IG:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rojadove/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/rojadove/</a></p><br><p>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</p><p>You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.
