All perfumes go to heaven. Heaven = the Fragrance Vault in Lake Tahoe. Jana Menard is the owner of Fragrance Vault, a one-of-a-kind perfume store in Lake Tahoe that carries niche, commercial, and incredibly hard-to-find, rare vintage perfumes (so like... everything). Today we chat about her store, how she sources and authenticates vintage, the most precious and rare gems in her collection, and her disciplined and benevolent philosophy around collecting.
