A blissfully stupid, miserably niche, and earnestly fascinated podcast that exists at the intersection of perfumery, comedy, art, critique, alchemy, 16th-century Venetian fashion, and queer emotional baggage. It truly is the antithesis of Chanel No. 5.

    Summer in the City!

    This episode is all about NYC summer smells, from hot garbage and piss, to the smell of air-conditioned department stores and hot sawdust.. and so much more. We take a call regarding how to live with stinky boys and what to pair with curious body odors. We also smell Medullary Ray by Jorum Studio. By the end we’re basically blackout. Just kidding… kind of..enjoy. Happy summer!

    Fruity!

    This week the gals discuss all things fruity. From blue raspberries to cruising, from fruit loops to citrus; the two dive into the topic of fruity fragrance, something that is often pigeonholed as juvenile and low brow. They also smell the fragrances Close Up by Olfactive Studio and Meek Passion by M.INT. Pucker up, it’s about to get fruity. Close Up by Olfactive Studio Meek Passion by M.INT
