Today we have a guest whose work has quietly, beautifully shaped the way millions of people smell the world.

Jo Malone CBE is a self-taught perfumer and entrepreneur who founded Jo Malone London and later sold the brand in 2006. In 2011, she launched Jo Loves - brands that turned simple scent into a language of memory and luxury.

She grew Jo Malone London from a kitchen-table idea into a global name and then made the bold move of selling the brand to Estée Lauder - only to go on and build again, proving that reinvention is part of her signature.

Jo’s story is as human as it is aspirational: she came from humble beginnings, faced and overcame severe personal challenges including a battle with cancer, and has been recognised for her services to business with honours including a CBE.

Get comfortable: this is a conversation about resilience, motherhood, and the small rituals that make life smell so good.
