Soft Life, Strong Notes: RN-Turned-Fragrance Founder Octavia Morgan on Smelling Good & Self-Care
Palliative care nurse turned fragrance founder and CEO Octavia Morgan joins us to share how scent became both a healing practice and a business, ultimately leading to Ulta Beauty’s first Black- and woman-owned prestige fragrance house. Octavia breaks down practical layering, budget-friendly ways to customize your signature scent, and how she created her first fragrance, Legendary, for her hospice patients. We also get personal about the leap from nursing to entrepreneurship, fear vs. obedience, and the one non-negotiable that keeps her centered: a daily hour of self-devotion.
