Friends With Deficits

"Things work out until they don't." Ain't life a bitch? Maybe we should celebrate it nonetheless. Friends With Deficits is a fun, honest, and sometimes brutal exploration into the human condition, often over drinks. Host Adam Sultan talks with old friends and friends-to-be who are dealing with unusual, rare, or strange predicaments that bring life into focus. After all, we're all gonna die--would you like that with a twist?

    Scents and Sensitivity – A Conversation with Miss Layla of fūm fragrances

    Miss Layla is an interdisciplinary artist and self-taught perfumer based in L.A. Her interest in fragrance and olfactive endeavors began as a small child when she learned how to cook and “taste shapes”. Later in life, Layla came to know that she had synesthesia, which she harnesses to her advantage when formulating perfume. After contracting COVID-19, she developed chemical sensitivities linked to auto-immune conditions and chronic inflammation. Her purpose and sense of identity is distorted and she struggles to relate to the world she once knew.    Miss Layla’s work: www.fumfragrances.com www.instagram.com/fumfragrances   Help support Friends with Deficits (and enter a drawing for a FWD fragrance made by Miss Layla!): https://www.patreon.com/friendswithdeficits   Wanna learn about perfumery? https://artandolfaction.org/   Need supplies? https://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/ https://edenbotanicals.com/
