The Perfume Garden founder Marina Barcenilla on creating luxurious fragrances inspired by nature, and the need to have patience as a business owner.

Marina Barcenilla: Making smells for a living

Podcast

It's time for episode 17 of our podcast, the Small Business Sessions.

As a child Enterprise Nation member Marina Barcenilla distinctly remembers sniffing just about everything that passed her by so it's no surprise that she ended up as a perfumer!

She founded The Perfume Garden five years ago, which focuses on creating luxurious fragrances inspired by nature for a whole range of different products from perfumes to skin care to candles and home fragrances.

Self taught and a big experimenter, The Perfume Garden has really blossomed in the last year with a recent run of awards but Marina is the first to admit that it has taken time and a lot of patience to get to this stage which is probably very reassuring for a lot of us to hear!
