LOS ANGELES, CA based Woman of Achievement holds an annual women’s leadership weekend allowing state finalists to present their “platform work” (a community or social issue they champion) as well as deliver a speech about their entrepreneurial path or social impact cause. Representing New York in the
“Elite” category, author Sue Phillips will highlight her life’s work from her days at Elizabeth Arden and Lancôme to eventually developing Tiffany & Company’s first fragrance TIFFANY as their Executive Vice President of Fragrance Marketing. Phillips has written her first book relating the history of fragrance and
how human sense of smell is connected to intellect, emotions, memory and taste. She has also been credited with helping hundreds of individuals to “regain” their sense of smell after bouts with Covid-19-induced anosmia, and is co-authoring a second book with a neuroscientist.
A South African native, Phillips moved to the U.S. in her early twenties and has created fragrances for Burberry, Avon, Trish McEvoy, and Lancaster, all extremely successful brands. She collaborated with Jacques Polge in Paris, the chief perfumer for Chanel on the TIFFANY perfume. She also trademarked
“Scentrepreneur” and also“Scentertaining” allowing ‘scentsory’ experiences for interactive corporate teambuilding events. Her Sue Phillips brand will soon be global from New York to Dubai and her book “The Power of Perfume” was released at a sell-out event at the National Arts Club. She currently
operates the Sue Phillips Fragrance Salon in New York’s Upper East Side where individuals and groups can create their own personalized custom “signature” fragrance.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience, Phillips takes her clients on a journey of scents, sharing secrets, histories and the effect of the rarest of ingredients she has collected throughout her storied career. Their bespoke perfume formula is recorded in her database and can be reordered at any future time. Now, “The Nose that Knows” finally relates her relationship to fragrances. Years in the making, Phillips’ long-awaited and much-anticipated book The Power of Perfume: How to Choose It, Wear it and Enjoy It! (Central Park South Publishing Company; $19.95) is finally here and available on Amazon amzn.to/3v5resK and Barnes & Noble bit.ly/3cidbrp
The 280-page book, premiering in bookstores worldwide and Amazon is filled with highlights from Phillips’ career, myths about perfume and little-known-facts about the intoxicating effect of fragrance on all your senses. The Power of Perfume: How to Choose It, Wear it and Enjoy It! also includes photos of celebrities Phillips has worked with throughout her career. She has created fragrances thousands of Fragrance Lovers, and for the Hollywood elite, from Katie Holmes to Jamie Foxx and Zendaya, and the late Cicely Tyson. There’s plenty more in Phillips’ book, but to reveal it would ruin the surprise. “It’s an homage to perfumes, fragrance and scents (which ever you want to call it) and how it really helps people gain confidence, reflect their individuality and create a signature,” says Phillips. “I always ask my clients, ‘Why wear what everyone else wears when you can create your own?’”
Phillips launched her book at an online virtual appearance The Art of Scent sponsored by The National Arts Club to talk about her book and career Watch the presentation here: Sue Phillips interview
Phillips, a native of South Africa, has lived in New York for years. An internationally recognized expert on fragrance, she has worked in senior level positions at many of the beauty industry’s top companies, including Elizabeth Arden (working on licensees Chloe and Lagerfeld), Lancaster on the Davidoff brands and Chopard, Trish McEvoy and developed her first 3 fragrances; Lancôme Paris and Burberry, where she created scents for its “Society by Burberry” brand. It was at Tiffany & Co., though, that Phillips achieved her renown: creating its first ever scent, TIFFANY, which became one of the company’s top sellers. She followed that up with Tiffany for Men.
Phillips ventured out on her own in 2009, creating a signature atelier in New York called “The Scentarium” Last year, when the building was sold she created a pop-up “scent experience” at Vanessa Noel Shoes on the Upper East Side.
“My mission,” she says, “is to diffuse fragrance out of the bottle and to create memorable fragrance ‘experiences.’”
Phillips traces her love of fragrance back to her childhood. Her mother, Grace Phillips, was a musician and South Africa’s foremost calligrapher and made sure to surround the family with art and culture. She was inspired by her mother’s singing and performing, and observed her mother’s exquisite artwork, Phillips says. “Art, Music and Culture were inculcated in me and serendipitously it was part of my DNA which I never fully realized.” Until one day, when an unexpected curiosity struck.
“I started to think about colors and sounds and what they would smell like,” she says. “In South Africa there’s beautiful bright sunshine and gorgeous light and natural foliage and flowers and I would correlate fragrance and color and think about what could that smell like.”
She was on to something. Scent, scientists have long known, is the most powerful of the five senses -- and the only one that connects memory, emotion and taste.
“Our sense of smell is our most powerful sense after sight,” Phillips explains, “but it is the most forgotten and ignored. Our olfactory hub in our limbic system triggers memories and emotions. People also tell me that when they are cleaning out an attic, and they come across a memento from a loved one, such as a scarf or a book, that they are immediately reminded of that person or situation. It is so powerful!” “Sadly due to Covid-19, many people have been affected by sensory loss and they report how devastating it’s been for them; they are not able to enjoy food, and therefore socializing becomes challenging because without being able to taste and smell, they opt out of getting together with friends and family over festive occasions”.
“I am very excited to be launching my book at The National Arts Club, and on “Fragrant Fridays” at 6pm EST and “Scentual Sundays” at 12pm EST in my #Clubhouse room The Power of Perfume” where Sue has connected with thousands of fragrance lovers globally in the last month. “It has been a labor of love and I am honored to have been involved in this remarkable industry and being able to do what I love, and to create a difference in people’s lives through our most powerful sense!” Phillips enthuses.

UPPER EAST SIDE — Lyss Stern nearly wept when her senses registered the distant yet still-so-familiar aromas of vanilla and amber. Though she couldn't quite name the scents, she knew they were there.
]]>UPPER EAST SIDE — Lyss Stern nearly wept when her senses registered the distant yet still-so-familiar aromas of vanilla and amber. Though she couldn't quite name the scents, she knew they were there.
More than a year after losing it to the coronavirus, Stern had reclaimed her sense of smell.
It was a huge moment, one that may not have been possible without the help of Sue Phillips, a perfume maker who owns The Scentarium on the Upper East Side.
Forced to pivot because of coronavirus, Phillips told People magazine she found new ways to do business while simultaneously helping others through the pandemic.
"Look, I'm not a doctor, and I'm not a chemist, but I know the extraordinary powers of fragrance," Phillips told People, referring to a conversation she had with Stern.
A temporary loss of smell, or anosmia, is the main neurological symptom and one of the earliest and most commonly reported indicators that a person is infected with COVID-19, according to Harvard Medical School research. Some studies have suggested it actually is a better predictor of the disease than fever or cough.
Through its research, Harvard Medical School found the virus doesn't affect the sensory neurons responsible for detecting and transmitting the sense of smell to the brain. What it actually targets is the function of supporting olfactory cells.

Marissa Karen hasn’t been able to smell or taste anything since she was diagnosed with COVID-19 13 months, no matter how pungent or spicy it is. The 27-year-old Google employee says she’s tried everything, from acupuncture to the “burnt orange” remedy.
Karen had given up all hope until hearing about Sue Phillips, a fragrance expert in New York City.
To help Karen, Phillips used 18 custom-blended fragrances with the goal of retraining her brain to smell again. Scent after scent, Karen still couldn’t smell anything. But then, there was a breakthrough with a perfume filled with the smell of pomegranate, strawberry, honeydew and berries.
“I can definitely identify it’s fruity,” Karen said.
Phillips gave Karen the fruity fragrance to wear everyday.
The next day, Karen documented her continued progress at home. After 13 months, the day she longed for finally came.
“You never realize smell is a blessing until it's taken from you,” Karen said.

]]>Phillips learned to pivot, moving her fragrance events to Zoom, but in the last month she found a new way to help, using her skills in the perfume world to help COVID-19 survivors who are still missing their sense of smell find it again.
It all began after a friend sent Lyss Stern, a COVID-19 survivor, to Phillips' shop. Stern had lost her sense of smell in March 2020 and was struggling without it more than a year and a half later.
"I said to her, 'Look, I'm not a doctor, and I'm not a chemist, but I know the extraordinary powers of fragrance,' " Phillips tells PEOPLE. She took Stern through a "fragrance journey," through three types of scents — top notes, the lighter fragrances; medium notes, such as florals and fruits; and deeper base notes like vanilla and woodsy scents. That last group did the trick.
"She couldn't really smell the top notes, she couldn't really identify the middle notes, but then suddenly there was a flicker in her eye, and she said, 'I can smell something. I don't know what it is, but I can smell something.' "
When Stern realized she could smell vanilla and amber scents, "she literally almost started to weep," Phillips says. "She could smell something for the first time, so she got very emotional and I got very emotional."

One of the more puzzling effects it can have on people is a loss of smell, which can either be temporary, or last quite some time. For Lyss Stern, it lasted for more than a year. She lost her sense of taste and smell when she got COVID in March 2020, and hasn't gotten those senses back since that time.
"It's very frustrating, but I have to stay positive. I'm a survivor, it could've been a lot worse, so I had to put that into perspective," she told NBC New York. "However, I'm not going to lie to you, it's very frustrating."
Stern said she has hope they will return at some point.
"I do believe that over time, and hopefully with something like where I am today, and with the studies that I'm doing, we will eventually be able — even if it's just a little bit — to get back a little of my smell and taste," she said. "I'll take whatever I can get back."
That faith is why she went to The Scentarium on Thursday, a perfume and fragrance boutique on the Upper East Side. There, she was able to test out different scents to see if she can detect anything.
With the help of owner Sue Phillips, Stern tried out a long list different samples — not trying to figure out the perfect scent, just trying to find any scent whatsoever. At first, lavender didn't prove to do much for her, but then another scent triggered something small: vanilla.
From there, Phillips put together what few fragrances triggered a reaction, and then — a breakthrough. Stern was able to smell a fragrance that she said was "something beautiful. I'm gonna cry."
For Phillips, she said getting to that point made it all worth it for her.
"This for me, this is what I live for," she said.
Afterward, Stern explained what it was like to re-discover her sense of smell.
"I fell very emotional because, not only to smell something, but to smell something that's beautiful, as the first time to really be able to smell something? It's amazing," she said.

]]>The art of perfume is benevolent and majestic as explored inSue Phillips’ staggeringly researched and lively anecdotal new book “The Power of Perfume.”Phillips, a renowned and award-winning “Scentrepreneur” has a “scentarium” located on the Upper East Side where she creates bespoke perfumes for high-class clientele as well as celebrities such as Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx.
She also created the first ever fragrance for Tiffany & Co. as VP of theTiffany Perfume in 1987.Phillips begins her enormously instructive book discussing the five senses and highlights that, after sight, scent is our most powerful sense as it connects memory and emotion. And there’s a science behind this: our olfactory nerve in the nasal cavity connects to the olfactory cortex within the brain’s temporal lobe, and particularly with Amygdala — which is connected to emotion — and the cortex, which is involved in the formation of memory. And thus, through this complex system, scent can trigger powerful feelings and transport us back to memories of different places, times and moments in our lives.Phillips broke down the basics of perfumery to amNewYorkMetro using her olfactory pyramid, explaining how this was a structure of “top notes,” “heart notes” and “base notes.”
Sue Phillips with one of her divine, bespoke perfumes.Top notes hit first, they tend to be lighter and initiate the overall scent; the heart notes leave the biggest impact of the overall scent and are named to convey their importance as “the main theme or the heart because [they] are the most memorable part of a fragrance”; and the “base notes,” which are darker, deeper and more long-lasting as they “dry down” and can have a “scent life” of as long as 8 hours.
The pyramid also introduced amNewYork Metro to the “fragrance families”of which there are eight: citrus, herbs, flowers, green, fruits, spices, woods and balsam, each of which possess their own unique characteristics that can be combined with infinite delicacy to suit your body chemistry. For ease Phillips narrowed these down to fresh, florals, woodsy and Oriental / spicy.
