An easy, breezy episode where we discuss the barn-burning piece on Glossier's You and the dreamless state of the flanker economy from Fumes on Substack. We also spend a little time sharing our excitement for the upcoming launch of El Morocco's perfume line and a little longer going through some newer houses and releases that we received hours before we recorded.
All that, and of course, The Game.

Plus, a few thoughts from Jane on how perfume has become more about being experts on notes and accords rather than creating mystique and mood.

Hey look it's a new year and we're finally far enough along in January to release our first episode. Now that we're here, let's talk about our latest pickups, what we've been wearing, and where we see things going with trends and collecting in 2026. We even manage to find a little time to get doomerist and a bit blasphemous.
Oh, and a very strong round of The Game.
