Along the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean, the Côte d'Azur exudes an irresistible aura of sensuality. This timeless stretch of coastal paradise, often referred to as the French Riviera, is where Veronique spent her childhood. Now she captures the richness of the region into scents that spark joy and remind us to add beauty to everyday life.
In this episode, Veronique sits down with Brittney Jackson Moseley, who runs integrated marketing at Scentbird. She opens up about what it took to start her own brand after a career at the helm of L'Oréal, Vera Wang, and Estée Lauder. We uncover the essence of her perfumes: a souvenir from Tunisia, a rose that can only be harvested for thirty days a year, and a sensation of pleasure through the G-spot.
