May 07, 2024 04:00 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MB

Juliette Has A Gun's founder Romano Ricci may be more of a Mercutio in the Shakespeare-coded and metaphorical world of this episode.

We speak with Ricci about the risk of launching an unserious fragrance brand in the height of mid-aughts fragrance culture, his roots in fragrance and fashion legacy, and how fragrance ca...

The Tortured Perfume Department

April 30, 2024 04:00 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MB

Spring is canonically a season of bare knees, vitamin D-derived dopamine, crushes, and for many, the expiration of their winter and fall cuffs. An uncuffing season, if you will.

From Seasonal To Moving In Silence: Are Scent Trend Cycles Over?

March 19, 2024 04:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MB

Are seasonal scents over? According to the culture (and the media that informs the culture) ... probably, yes. Now that perfume trends run more on a fast fashion current, more frequently birthed by immaculate consumption and tied to some Pinterest aesthetic group devoid of context, fragrance may be freed from another one of its strongest categories (other than gender). So, how will we navigate fragrance if not through seasons, genders, and micro-trends? Time will tell!  [What we smell like ...

If You're Gonna Do One Thing This Summer, It's Smell Me

May 23, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MB

We are exploring "beast mode" fragrances as a concept, as a way of wearing scent, and as a trigger. It could very well be the antithesis of summer fragrances, just happening to have a resurgence in relevance as summer approaches.

With respect to that, we discuss our favorite scents that go as long as the days are this time of year.  [What w...
