Ever wondered how to distinguish your bourbon from your whiskey or what makes Straight to Heaven by Kilian a scent worth discussing? Prepare for an episode swimming in the deep waters of fine bourbon and luxury scents, with our guest Sean, who's not only our whiskey whisperer but also our guide to olfactory excellence. We kick things off with a few laughs over a pool game before Sean schools us on the vital stats that define a true bourbon. Then, noses primed, we take on the divine promises of Straight to Heaven by Kilian and embark on a sensorial journey that blurs the lines between the warmth of a whiskey barrel and the allure of a well-crafted perfume.

Myke, Ryan, and Sean gather 'round for an episode that's as rich and complex as the notes of a vintage whiskey. We raise our glasses to the nuances of bourbon tasting, sharing how we learned to identify the subtle flavors of caramel and vanilla that dance across the palate. But we're not just here for the spirits—our fragrance exploration ventures into the woodsy depths of Straight to Heaven, comparing its performance on skin versus paper, and contemplating if a spritz truly can take us to celestial heights. Tune in for a hearty blend of humor and insight as we sniff out the differences between mahogany and sandalwood, all while dissecting the robust characteristics of our favorite scents.

As the glasses clink and the last spritzes settle, we find a moment to appreciate the dedication that goes into crafting both a fine bourbon and a standout podcast. With Sean's promise to return for more aromatic adventures, we share a toast to the community we've built through shared passions and a few good-hearted jokes. So whether you fancy yourself a connoisseur or you're just curious about the symphony of scents and spirits, join us for an unforgettable gathering where every moment is worth savoring. Cheers to the journey and, as always, let's 'Spray it up' in true fragrant camaraderie.

Ever embarked on a scent-laden mission that rivals a spy movie? Well, Myke and Ryan sure did, as they recount our whimsical escapade to Dillard's in search of the elusive Prada Luna Rossa Ocean, Le Parfum. With the help of a mysteriously cooperative sales associate, we managed to snatch a sample not just for ourselves, but for one of our lucky Patreon supporters as well. As we unravel the olfactory tale of our latest conquest, we also bring you a "one-night stand" review of the intoxicating Wu Long Cha by Nishane, which left a scent trail in my car as indelible as a tattoo. And just when you thought it couldn't get any quirkier, we debate over phone etiquettes and the fate of fallen tester strips.

Strap in for an exhilarating ride as we dissect the high-octane world of sailboat racing and its glamorous meld with luxury fragrances. The Prada Luna Rossa line, a byproduct of the brand's illustrious racing team, serves as our focal point, blending the essence of competition with aromatic sophistication. From celebrity adventures, such as Jake Gyllenhaal's transmutation from sailor to aviator, to the bizarre influence of Taylor Swift's famed romances on the public psyche, we leave no buoy unturned. Expect a sea of laughter and irreverent analogies as we navigate through these pop culture currents.

Have you ever been whisked away by a scent so evocative it's like time travel in a bottle? That's exactly where Myke and Ryan take you in our latest olfactory escapade, as we unearth the divisive "clean linen and cheap iced tea" fragrance that once stirred up a storm. Climb aboard our scent time-machine, where we also pay homage to the '90s classic Ralph Lauren Polo, questioning whether its latest rendition stands up to the ol' aromatic giant. And for those who relish the chase, we tease the upcoming segments featuring the elusive vintage Drakkar Noir and much-mourned, discontinued Tom Ford wonders.

Imagine a scent so vivaciously citrus it could jolt you out of bed quicker than a triple espresso. That's the centerpiece of our aromatic discussion, a fragrance that has been with us since the early days and yet continues to dazzle and challenge our senses. Myke and Ryan unpack the rollercoaster of memories this scent evokes, interspersed with laughter and the odd hayride anecdote. Plus, we spill the beans on how to get your hands on your favorite fragrances without breaking the bank—because let's face it, smelling great shouldn't cost a fortune.
