July 12, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBBefore there was Secretions Magnifique, there were magnificent secretions — that aromatic cocktail made by one's own body-ody-ody and it has been dubbed "vabbing" (a portmanteau of vagina and dabbing). Wearing one's own snail trail as a perfume to pull goes in and out of the zeitgeist, and thanks to TikTok it has been yanked back into it once more. Your hosts graciously, articulately, and elegantly explain the ins and outs of vabbing and its misleading philosophies with whatever science has...

June 07, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 63.6 MBThe mysterious, Canadian fragrance brand Persons Of Interest has a habit of popping up in all kinds of good-smell convos by those in the know.

Wearing Scent (Manipulatively)
May 31, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBNow that another Memorial Day has been memorialized, that means it's officially summer — the season of skin. And smelling scents on other people's skin. So, that got us thinking... what kinds of scents do people compliment the most? And what do they have in common? How do certain scents develop a reputation beyond their intended context? And most importantly, what scents can we wear manipulatively for nefarious or promiscuous purposes? Here are our personal findings, from our experience. ...

But now we're back on the very same bullshit that we are known and loved for: talking about smells we like. In this very casual catch-up chat, Tynan and Sable discuss new scents they like, new scents they would like to smell, and the beginnings of what is shaping up to be a Scentboi Summer™ (you heard it here first).

The 7 Deadly Scents
April 12, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBOn this, the holiest week of tax season, we've decided to examine the sinnery of scents — specifically the seven deadly sins and what they would smell like.

April 05, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBAs two moody people who love scents, we're always curious to know why and how scent affects our moods, for good and for evil. There is indeed a science to mood manipulation through scent, and who should be the maestros of such power as the perfumers of Givaudan. We have Stephen Nilsen on to tell us all about Givaudan's proprietary Moodscentz technology, and how scent has been studied to be able to change moods and behavior (nematodes are involved) way beyond the scope of essential oils and ...
Who's Singing About Perfume?
March 29, 2022 04:00 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBOne could argue that music and fragrance are parallel art forms, especially when you realize that so much fragrance language borrows from music (notes, accords, compositions). And sometimes they become one when people sing about perfume, name-dropping certain fragrances or simply smelling in song. In this episode, we discuss the songs of smells that we are aware of and a whole lot of ones we are not. [What we smell like today: Ex Nihilo Iris Porcelana, Hermes H24] Follow us on Instagram @...

March 22, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBWith Y2K making its way back up to the surface of cultural relevance (or nostalgia), it's inevitable that it would get the Smell Ya Later treatment. We've gone on about nostalgic scents before, and we will do so again, this time in the only cultural wrapper that makes sense — the moral alignment chart. We discuss our personal picks on the lawful/neutral/chaotic scale of goodness and evilness and neutralness. For fun. It's for fun. [What we smell like today: D.S. & Durga Bistro Waters, Sara...
Eau De AI
March 15, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBAI comes for us all. And this time, by "all," we mean fragrance. We have Givaudan perfumer Dana Schmitt on to tell us all about Carto, Givaudan's AI helper, aiding perfumers to experiment even more with the fragrances they create. But will robots replace perfumers? Not quite. So how exactly does AI get its digits into perfumery — the one art that requires a sense of smell, which robots categorically do not have? Obviously, that's in this episode. So listen to it. It's good. [What we smell...

You Can't Fuck A Fragrance
March 01, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 63 MBSex sells, but you can't fuck a fragrance. You can, however, fuck a celebrity (if you're lucky or maybe try really hard), and combining the two has been the standard for how to sell a fragrance since forever probably. The spokespeople are however getting kookier and by way of more interesting choices... hotter? Now that it appears that clout and a certain It-ness of cultural relevancy garner more intrigue and more dollars, the people in our fragrance ads are perhaps less familiar but wholly ...
Why Does Everyone Want to Smell Rich?
February 22, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 59.5 MBThose who know better know that money smells like balls, but when it comes to smelling rich, wealthy, or classy, people have opinions that may or may not be misinformation set to a soundtrack of Lana Del Rey remixes on everyone's favorite clock app. It's a vibe, it's a mood, it's perhaps an ill-conceived aspiration that says nothing of wealth itself but the idea of a certain level of taste and what it means to live a life of conspicuous consumption. So, we stay wondering. Why does everyone ...
