184: "It's a TikTok rose," and other things we've smelled this week...

183: A dupe by any other name would smell as [redacted]
Did you know that beneath our noses this whole time, our beloved Bath & Body Works have been releasing their own body mist line of dupery? The collection is a flexible series of scents that go in and out of style based on... perfumes most mentioned on Tiktok? Most inescapable scents in the culture? Mysterious trend forecasting documents? Who can know! Well, we got our hands on almost the whole current set of them to put them to the test ( of the scents we already have/know) for a fun little ep about that.
Also mentioned: That Cut article everyone hates, which brands are making their own scent, the best "not too sweet" gourmand, and the return (?) of traditional florals...
[What we smell like today: Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Aegea, d'Annam Strawberry Mochi]

182: The magic's in the minimalism feat. Maison Louis Marie
You know their minimalist packaging and their cozy, comforting scents — perhaps most famous being No. 4 Bois de Balincourt, one of the defining sandalwoods of the decade. We have Marie Du Petit Thouars alongside her partner Matt Berkson on this episode for her very first podcast interview. The couple are the founders of Maison Louis Marie, the tres chic and tres mysterieux (well, less so now) fragrance and candle brand from LA. They talk to us about how they create each scent, the rigors of committing to brand sustainability, and sticking to their original ethos of clean, minimal branding, and taking their time making elegant scents of memories.
[Today we smell like: Les Eaux Primordiales Rose Supercritique, Gucci Vanilla Firenze]

181: Swipe no more: sniff your way to your next match
For those tired of swiping on apps, four artists in London have brought you another sensory option for finding a date: smelling your way to a match. The Scent of Connection is an artist collective founded by Jack Jessé, Niko Alonso, Porsha Thompson, and Jasmine Imren, focused on reimagining how people connect by exploring sensory experiences beyond sight — namely smell. We speak with Niko and Jasmine on this ep to talk about how to throw a successful scent-based matchmaking event.

180: The blind leading the buys
We all know perfume collecting is an expensive hobby. Yet blind buys are on the rise, according to this BoF article (but also to anyone who's keyed into PerfumeTok or fragrance enthusiasts in general). What's the most you're willing to shill for an unknown scent?
