The Sweet Scent of Success

HERITAGE RADIO NETWORK
About this episode

A collector’s set with a blanco, a reposado, and an a​​ñejo? Yeah, we’ve seen it before. A fragrance collector’s set with those three varieties? Now you’re talking! Joseph D. Solis of Maison Solis sits down with Greg and Damon to talk about growing up as a fragrance collector, moving from the beverage space to the fragrance space, and how he adapted the essences of three different tequilas into scents you can wear. The world of fragrances and the world of spirits are very similar processes, and yet adapting one to the other isn’t easy. Tune in to find out how it’s done and what sunset at golden hour in an agave field smells like!

Plus, Halloweekend Part 1 is upon us! Greg and Damon talk about their plans and costumes gone awry.
