It's been another few weeks since our last episode but it's well worth the wait. Invading barbarians and pyromaniac cowgirls can rejoice because we are joined by a very special guest who won't be a stranger to many of you. You know her, you're charmed by her, and you're probably a little scared of her. Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome Shingle Springs very own, Scout Dixon West, who pops in for Scents of the Week and a special edition of The Game. So saddle up, horse girls and boys, and enjoy the ride.

We're back again to talk about Acne Studio's new perfume announcement, how much we really like Régime des Fleurs latest Fait Main release, Green Vanille, and then we stumble down the rabbit hole of Matiere Premiere in an almost Fragra-Files episode style rundown of each scent. Why? Because we've been noticing some mixed feelings on the brand both online and in our DMs. Naturally, we decided to go through each one for our, and hopefully your, amusement. Get that wantlist ready!

Join us also for our Highlights from the Tray featuring a few new perfumes and a very light and pleasing round of The Game which gets interrupted by a heated debate about who could be the mysterious perfumer behind Celine.

We're back to business in 2024 (again) after a bit of downtime thanks to the daycare plague. Voices and senses all restored, or at least that's how we start, but Jeff inadvertently destroys Jane's olfactive abilities in round two of the game. Live and learn!

In this episode we discuss new release news from Dusita, DS & Durga, Maison Crivelli, and Fragraphilia faves, Liis. We also talk perfume oil pickups and spend a good deal of time discussing the new Legacy Collection from Estée Lauder. Folks, we love it!

Also, we go springtime florals and clean scents during our tray roundup and then celebrate those himbo/bimbo/thembo scents living in a Trad Wife perfume world during The Game.

Bring on those dumb, fun scents!

We're back, baby! It's so good to finally have time to sit down and share a few thoughts on what we've been wearing, sampling, and receiving lately. It's also time we shared some pointless asides like a brief journey down the butt rock bands rabbit hole of the mid 2000s, how a bank robber stumbled through our backyard, and the ups and downs of placing your child in daycare. It's a fun time to be alive!

Special thanks to Arquiste, Maison d'Etto, and Libertine Fragrance for spoiling us recently with gifts and perfumes.

We start this one a bit off the rails with talk on why you make an Old Fashioned with sugar cubes, a mysterious scent wafting about in our home, and an experience with a haunted dog. Now that's what we call perfume podcasting! Once we settle into the actual program, we discuss Hiram Green's new fragrance announcement, baby perfumes, and what we're in the mood for by way of scentwear right now.

Plus, we share our wonderment of Fragrantica's Instagram clone, Fragram. Oh, and we debate the idea of a peanut inspired perfume as it resurfaces unsavory peanut breath memories from Jane's childhood.

We're entering the new year in a somewhat easy-breezy and tired mood, but hey, no less chatty when it comes to fragrance. For the first episode of 2024, we discuss the attars from Amouage, a deeper dive into our recent wears, and continue our discussion on minimizing consumption and making each purchase counts.

Along with a revelation from Jeff, a nod to the Gloam life from Jane, and a round of The Game that sends us way too deep into Hagrid's cabin. Saddle up, Clean Boys and Clean Dudes, It's going to be a long ride!

In the episode, we share a few gift ideas for discovery kits and candles, Jane talks Tragedy by Marissa Zappas, and we both gush over Les Abstraits’ amazing collection of perfumes. All that and the usual round-up of scents we've been wearing, our house being divided with Vanilla Powder, and an edition of The Game where we had to remove one selection from the room after spraying it.

Happy Holidays, everyone! Make sure you don't gift a sex candle!
