Facing the Giants

On this episode of Facing the Giants podcast, Scott Kerr speaks with beauty industry veteran Veronique Gabai, founder and CEO of her eponymous fragrance line. Veronique discusses why she left her role as Global President of Estée Lauder Company to start her own fragrance brand and the strategies she took to successfully launch during the pandemic. She also discusses why the fragrance market has been booming, the accelerating growth of niche scents, positioning her brand in a crowded field, her approach to creating scents inspired by her childhood on the French Riviera, and the role 'perfume therapy' plays in her new Aroma collection. Plus: The learnings she applied from creating hugely successful designer scents (by Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, and others) to creating her own fragrances.
