    Ep 39: The Smoke Show (feat. Carey O'Donnell)

    Put your lighters up, because this week your resident pyros are joined by gifted writer, hilario podcaster and loud and proud frag head Carey O'Donnell! Listen in as Carey and the gals inhale the good shit and exhale the bullshit while they gab about their favorite smoke scents, tobacco frags, and cig-coded perfumes. From the hunt for cold fire, to the smell of a class warrior, to the royal family's bid for a graphic design intern, these three are following their noses to bring you the REAL smoking gun. Searching for a Pete Buttigieg perfume? The Smell of the Catholic Television Network? Truth in a Post-Truth world? Don't turn that dial frag heads because where there's smoke there is most certainly fire.

    Ep 38: Mother May I?

    Our little homesickies are back from their business travel and only want one thing: Mommy! Somebody call Ancestry.com because these two genealogists have been sniffing around the family tree and they want answers, namely: What exactly makes a perfume smell like mommy's milkers? Can you replicate the scent of grandma's soap dish? Is a Millennial MILF a Tommy Girl all grown up? All that plus the best brunch city in North America, dreidel perfume, good soap gone bad, and the most boring film ever made. Get ready to suckle this week frag heads because these two fertile myrtles have tea to spill and milk to spare.

    Ep 37: Uncanny Valley Girls

    This week the ladies open an uncan of whoop-ass to discuss perfumes that feel a bit... off. Maddie and Chloe are plumbing the depths of the uncanny valley to explore the freakiest gourmands in their collections and get to the bottom of what makes them so strange. From Smart and Final cookie scents, to white chocolate lavender Frappuccinos to almond saltwater taffy to Ludens cherry lozenges, the gals share smells that are easy to love and difficult to understand. Question: did you eat Play Doh as a kid? This one's for you.

    Orgasmo by Hilde Soliani

Smart!

Effervescent, sexy, intellectual— Maddie is so accessible and observant, generous with a laugh, and inquisitive. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

The LA sister to Nymphowars

My new favorite podcast. Gives me the feeling of sitting at a table talking to my friends. Two lovely ladies discuss pop culture, art, beauty, boys, and fragrance and helped bring me into a world I had never considered before. If you love the original format of nymphowars and perfume then you’ll love this. Nose Candy is the more refined, LA centric and less raunchy sister but still with a deep love for topics like pop divas, art movies, and nightlife. Thanks gals!
