Actor, writer, producer, and passionate fragrance lover Krew Boylan joins us for a fascinating exploration of scent, memory, identity, and creativity. From childhood memories triggered by flowers, family homes, and beloved toys, to the role scent plays in method acting and character development, Krew reveals how smell has always been her strongest sense and one of her most powerful creative tools.
