Fragrance Brand Founder Sophie Marcoux On Taking The Leap From Full-Time Work To Freelancer And Business Owner In Your Early 20s, And Why Smell Is So Strongly Linked To Memory Clever Women Co.

On today’s show we chat to Sophie Marcoux, a former brand and product developer as well as founder of her own fragrance brand ‘Ficifolia.’ Ficifolia is a luxe fragrance line inspired by the scents of Melbourne. 

Sophie’s professional experience spans the beauty, fashion, and FMCG industries, and she has a heap of value to share with us when it comes to creative brand strategy and visual communications. 

We’ll get to hear directly from someone in their early 20s who took the leap from full-time work to freelancing and managing their own business - so stay tuned for some tips if this is something you’ve been considering for yourself too.
