We’re a day late, and in the perfume collectors game, always a dollar short but here nonetheless. In this episode, we’re talking some of the latest new releases from Liis, Arquiste, Byredo, and Guerlain. We have some great listener emails where we try to give our thoughts on licked arms, first date perfumes, and the gray markets. Also, our featured…

3M ago55:13

55:13

The long overdue second installment of Fragra-Files featuring the perfumes of Hedi Slimane's Celine. An incredible collection of extremely thoughtful and luxurious scents that are both as gorgeous as they are incredibly consistent with their through-line of orris, musk and soft woody notes. But who is the perfumer behind these compositions and why …

6M ago1:57:26

1:57:26

It's been another few weeks since our last episode but it's well worth the wait. Invading barbarians and pyromaniac cowgirls can rejoice because we are joined by a very special guest who won't be a stranger to many of you.

We're back again to talk about Acne Studio's new perfume announcement, how much we really like Régime des Fleurs latest Fait Main release, Green Vanille, and then we stumble down the rabbit hole of Matiere Premiere in an almost Fragra-Files episode style rundown of each scent.

8M ago1:11:29

1:11:29

We're back to business in 2024 (again) after a bit of downtime thanks to the daycare plague. Voices and senses all restored, or at least that's how we start, but Jeff inadvertently destroys Jane's olfactive abilities in round two of the game. Live and learn! In this episode we discuss new release news from Dusita, DS & Durga, Maison Crivelli, and F…

A Cornucopia of Pretty Girliness 1:16:43

9M ago1:16:43

1:16:43

We're back, baby! It's so good to finally have time to sit down and share a few thoughts on what we've been wearing, sampling, and receiving lately. It's also time we shared some pointless asides like a brief journey down the butt rock bands rabbit hole of the mid 2000s, how a bank robber stumbled through our backyard, and the ups and downs of plac…

This Scent Smells Like Bjork’s Speaking Voice Sounds 1:28:29

10M ago1:28:29

1:28:29

We start this one a bit off the rails with talk on why you make an Old Fashioned with sugar cubes, a mysterious scent wafting about in our home, and an experience with a haunted dog. Now that's what we call perfume podcasting! Once we settle into the actual program, we discuss Hiram Green's new fragrance announcement, baby perfumes, and what we're …

Getting In A Car With A Pink Mustache 1:20:17

10M ago1:20:17

Movie Reference of the Week - The And…

In the episode, we share a few gift ideas for discovery kits and candles, Jane talks Tragedy by Marissa Zappas, and we both gush over Les Abstraits’ amazing collection of perfumes.

My Dystopian Future Still Involves Perfume 1:25:32

11M ago1:25:32

1:25:32

We cover it all in this Black Friday episode (that doesn't really include anything for BF). We talk Dusita, Trudon, and whether or not Future Society is the Theranos of fragrance. We also deal with a crying baby, annoying smoke detectors, and share a couple of delicious dirty martinis. Finally, we try to answer a great listener question but mostly …

12M ago1:24:37

1:24:37

Halloween may be over but those spooky sensations have followed us well into November as we throw up the devil horns and discuss a few perfumes inspired by the darker sides of life including De Profundis by Serge Lutens and Hexensalbe by Stora Skuggan. We also marvel over the big time bold move of Melanie Martinez's follow up to the wildly successf…

1:14:29

Back with a regular episode of random perfume thoughts and ramblings, a quick run-down on travel scents, and a handful of wishes for our holiday wishlists. Oh, and Jane tries to go lighter with her morning fragrances choices as opposed to her usual routine of bombing out the house with Amber Kiso and Oud Palao. All that and a lighter, friendly vers…

Fragra-Files 001: The Fragrances of Aesop 53:08

1y ago53:08

53:08

Welcome to our first installment of Fragra-Files, a new series in which we dedicate a full episode to focus on a specific house, note, guide, or anything else fragrance related that requires a bit more time, research, and discussion than available in our typical episodes.

If It Wasn’t So Sticky I Would Wear It 1:35:04

1:35:04

We are back with another episode and you better believe, true form, that we faced some sort of obstacle in the lead up. This time a rickety old air conditioner unit that forced us out of our home for several days. Thank goodness that have perfumes, will travel. We made great use of our time at Jane's parents testing out samples for you all. This we…

It Gives Me Early 2010s Burlesque Vibes, D’Ya Know What I Mean? 1:20:41

1y ago1:20:41

1:20:41

Fresh from our visit to New York, we discuss our experiences shopping for fragrances, the scents we encountered on the street, and the dank clouds of cannabis smoke that seem to be everywhere.

No, No... It's Not Junk, It's Creative. 1:31:21

1y ago1:31:21

1:31:21

Did we ramble on way too long in this episode? Absolutely! Is it jam-packed, filled minute to minute with informative and gripping content? Debatable... but we had fun recording it. One thing's for sure, and you know it's always a safe bet, is that we bring up fragrances from DS & Durga, Byredo, Arquiste, and of course, Ex Nihilo but in between tal…

Is That A Fragrance or Have You Been Making Soup? 1:18:21

1y ago1:18:21

1:18:21

It's our longest episode yet, for better or worse, but things go deep when you start talking about disappointing new releases, the intoxicating and transformative sensations of testing Strangelove NYC all week, and how we benefit from each other's fondness of certain perfumes and scents. All that and a round of The Game featuring scents that conjur…

I Guess That Depends On Your Dentist 1:10:06

We start this episode on a big high from the capital 'P' Perfume, El by Arquiste, and then share a real scent low after dealing with a dog that decided to square up to a rogue neighborhood skunk.

1:10:57

After a quick one-week break from the pod, we stir up a couple of Manhattans, spray our hair with a little Elnett, and go through our scents of the (past two) weeks. We also discuss our love for Eris Parfums and our dislike of all the store exclusives we never get to try. Sigh! For the game this week... Jeff goes themeless while Jane embraces the a…

The Tableside Guacamole of Fragrance 1:04:45

1:04:45

Guidance by Amouage - is it good or is it just pink? We share our initial thoughts on their latest release, run through our favorites from the past week, and the question why it seems like Le Labo's brand philosophy comes off dated in the current wave of fragrance culture and enthusiasm. And finally, this week's round of The Game finds Jane going g…

The Want List War of the Roses 1:12:38

1+ y ago1:12:38

1:12:38

This past week, we finally confront our ever-daunting, always growing want list and it turns into a good old fashion war of the roses. Also, we sample Vanille Leather by BDK Parfums, answer a couple of questions from our wonderful listeners about perfume storage and branching out of your fragrance comfort zone, and Jane wonders why there are fragra…

Yes, But Not In A Bad Way... 1:02:18

The devil is at work in this episode for …

1:14:23

In this first ever episode of Fragraphilia, the Podcast, we overcome a restless baby, powers outages and hail, and most of all, our complete lack of experience in recording and editing audio files for this podcast. Despite it all, we talk about our scents of the week, what it would take for us to blind buy something (with a nod to Les Oderants), an…
