I'm Haydn Williams and I write about grooming and fragrance for titles such as Grazia and blog as 'You smell great! What is it?' In each episode I will talk with a guest about their life, their work, their grooming regime, their bathroom cabinet essentials - and what they really think about the person staring back at them in the mirror.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that brands and products are a result of life choices and decisions that may have seemed insignificant at the time. One such decision led Craig Andrade to leave work early to attend a candle making workshop. He fell in love with the craft, the creativity and the connection with olfaction and he decided to make a change and quit his corporate law role. Craig’s ‘Act II’ began when he studied perfumery at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery and eventually he founded his own brand, Raconteur in Australia - focusing on native botanicals. There are now three stores in Australia and the brand is stocked globally, including at Bloom in London. Craig says:
“My perfumery practice straddles beauty, art, history, science, botany, geography, and physiology. It comprises rich layers of storytelling and meaning. My focus is on making natural fragrances that combine these elements and provide both pleasure and purpose.”
Craig mentioned the following products from his morning and evening routines:
Sodashi - Cleanser Clay, Face Polish and Sleek Moisturiser

Cancer Council of Australia - Sunscreen

Raconteur fragrances are available here in the UK at Bloom - and via the Raconteur website globally.
