Fragraphilia - The Podcast

We've kept it a bit closer to home in this installment of Fragraphilia & Friends with Dallas based Rachel Green, founder and CEO of the popular new brand L'Epoque Parfums. Find out about Rachel's remarkably fast pace from conception to launch, her desire to have fun with it along the way, and for the fans of her line, plenty of hints for what's in the works in the months to come. Oh yeah, and The Game too!
Truly a pleasure to visit with Rachel and we can't wait to share a few (or maybe just one) Manhattans with her again soon.

From start to finish, perfume to perfume, this may be our most satisfying episode we've ever recorded. It's also longer than usual but every perfume we tried was a hit and our favorite was probably the last. Or, maybe it was the first because we finally added a bottle we've been talking about for months. Regardless, every one was a winner, even during The Game

Are there perfumes you'd want backup bottles of should they ever become discontinued or limited? Thank you, Listener Lisa, for the great question. We discuss a few we'd select and whether or not it's best to just let the past be the passed. We also ordered a few vintage classics that definitely didn't disappoint. Finally, Paraphrase has a new vanilla perfume being release in early July named Vanilla Virtu that has rocketed to the top of our vanilla chart. All that and The Game.

It's been a wonderful couple of weeks with new and new-to-us releases from smaller niche houses. From the incredible packaging and nightlife nostalgia of El Morocco to the otherworldly influences of Rite of Way and Sorce, we've been really impressed with a number of perfumes we've been blessed to receive lately. Plus a little rant (again) about AI marketing in the perfume space and some strong contenders featured in The Game.
