Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam and Choti after the show podcast.
Thank you for subscribing, and follow us on YouTube also
if you want to see what's going on. Sam this
morning walked in and said that I've got some sort
of game because of the colone that I'm wearing.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Because you're thrown out.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
The vibe for the RAI smells so fresh and clean.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's funny because it's versace poor om. I think I'm
saying that right, Versace for men for men, and which
is I guess their baseline. They've got all sorts of
and I like it a bunch of different versions. I've
got Dylan Blue. I've just kind of fallen into that
one because I like it. And that's what I wanted
to explain today, because I've really learned how to pick
and choose these over the years for my own body
(00:40):
chemistry and what I like, because that does make a difference.
But there's there's more than just your you know, body
chemistry involved in it. And I didn't realize this until
I bought the wrong cologne a couple of months ago.
And it's because I bought it online. I didn't sample it.
You know, really, when it comes to Colonne perfumes and
all that. You really should go to Alta or somewhere
(01:01):
and actually sample.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Almost threw down about that.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I was like, you bought this without even putting it
on your skin for a sample.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I was like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Because it's that's it's body chemistry, and one thing that
smells great on you would not necessarily smell good on Sam.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And that is just a fact.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
So fragrance is something you should try on your own body,
period before.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
You spend a dime.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
So like, that's what this, That's why there are samples
and department stores and in Alta, some.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Mistake fragrance what it was just like too strong.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Or yeah, it was too intense. And as I started
to read up on it, the description was, well, the
reviews were like five stars and so. And I did
like the way that it smells, but it has a
smell in it that I don't know that is JODI's favorite,
which is a more kind of a tobacco ish, you know,
vanilla notes you're fine with, but anything that's the tobacco
(01:52):
kind of that amber that really I don't remember. It's
a male kind of a musk type, you know. To me,
I equate it with gar smoking. That's what it smells
to me, like kind of cigari, and amber is the
color of it, and people raved about it. But it's
very polarizing because it's really strong when it goes on
(02:13):
you at first, and then as it starts to evaporate,
because you know, colone doesn't smell the same an hour later.
Well on different people, yes, but an hour later some
of the notes will leave. And that's that's what I
started studying. I'm not aficionado by any means, but I
think I find it fascinating, just like I find it
fascinating that there are different coffees, and you know, just
(02:36):
like I find it. I used to, you know, enjoy
sampling different wines back when I drank. I like the
experimentation of it because I'm a sensory person. I like
good smells, but I don't want something to be overpowering.
I don't want something to choke somebody in the elevator
that I'm standing next to and excuse me. So as
I started to read up on these, the one that
(02:57):
you like, sam is really a spring summer scent, and
the one that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I've liked, it's just yes, I don't even know how
to put it into words. It's just refreshing.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And the one that I bought, which was called I
Always Forget, it's not like the best one ever. It's
got some sort of a name. The hold on one second,
I'm gonna tell you real quick. It's by a Zarro.
It's called the Most Wanted par Fum, but it's it's
a men's colone and.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Uh doesn't sound like it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But it's it's better used in the fall and winter.
And the reason why is because in the heat, your
body is going to cause the cologne or whatever it
is to evaporate much more quickly, and so it also
disappears more quickly as a result of that. And you know,
because of that, you don't want to wear the lighter
(03:48):
sense during the winter time because they will fade fast. Also,
because there's no heat intensity, they're just not going to last.
So the lighter sense that you're talking talking about are
better for spring because of how they evaporated when they evaporate,
and there's a whole bunch of chemistry that goes behind this.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
They maybe that's why I don't understand it, because I've
always heard that. You know, even if you have a
signature scent and you wear it all year long, because
I have a couple that I wear in all seasons,
and it's a Chanelle mademoiselle, you know, and it does.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And it works and it smells great in all seasons.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
But you use less in the winter. I believe you
use less in the winter.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Is that right, because it's it lasts longer and it
seems stronger or something about the cold temperature.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But in the heat, that's correct.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
And evaporates quickly, but it also kind of imagine the
heat making it kind of steam out to everybody around you.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That's correct, That's exactly right. That's exactly what I was
reading about both of these. And so the you know,
the Versace one that I wear now is better for
spring summer because in the wintertime, And what's crazy now
that I think about this and you saying this, Sam,
we're in spring. Now, I've worn this cologne for a while,
but I've noticed in the winter it really doesn't it
doesn't last, you know, incredibly anyway, Jody would notice it,
(05:08):
because she's the only one getting close enough to me
to still smell it later in the day. But but
in the wintertime, I don't get as much feedback on it,
And I guess it's because you know that the rudder.
What's funny. I mean, I'm not like for feedback, you know,
because you know what I'm saying. It just I just
it just occurred to me that I hear more more
(05:28):
a while. What is that you're wearing spring summer when
I'm wearing this and not in the fall.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I also wonder if it has again, also not a scientist.
It has to do with your pores. You know, when
you're warmer, they're open, they're more open, and when in
the winter time everything's closed up, so you sure, maybe
it leaves your body quicker.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Sure, I've always heard too. I don't know if this
was a trick. You know, women are full of you know,
cosmetic tricks. But I'd always heard that you can wear
less in the winter, like one squirt versus two in
the summer.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, if you're using one or whatever you're using.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Here's the description that I had read that helps with this.
Perfumes and colognes are seasonal mainly because of temperature, humidity,
and skin chemistry. So it's really the combination of all
of those. Because something may smell great to you that's
on me, but you could spray it on somebody else
and it actually could put off a different, you know,
like a totally different scent. But it's weird how some things,
(06:21):
you know, interact, And so this is what it says, Jody.
Hot weather speeds up evaporation and intensifies the projection, so
the heavy sense can be very overwhelming, which is exactly correct,
and then the cold weather slows it. Lighter scents can
fade more quickly or feel flat.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
So the stronger sense that you have put a moderate
amount on, but the stronger scents are better for the winter.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
They're better for the winter. And it sounds like in
the winter time, if you were a signature scent all
year long, you might need to wear a little bit
more of it in the winter. Yeah, I mean, I
don't think i'd go overboard and crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I would never go overboard. That's the mistake, because you
can't undo that. Really, I've tried. I accidentally sprayed one
too many one morning, and so I grabbed the towel
really quickly, and I'll like rub my neck and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
What I'm trying to figure out is which flavor what
they call notes, and these are really the things that
make up the sense, so that I can be a
more intelligent buyer, because I'll know, if you know that
there are certain notes that don't resonate with you, then
don't buy the Colonna perfume in the first place.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
But you really have to read and you know, research that,
and it's it's really in depth. So I found out
just for you, Sam oh goody, the Versace that I wear,
which has been out since two thousand and eight, Versace
Poor Home. Yeah. The top notes, the ones that really
step out are the lemon, bergamot and neroli. I don't
know what that is. Rose to mind, I don't know
(07:41):
what that is. And so those citrus notes are the
top ones. There are probably the ones that really come
off as the light refreshment smell so clean and fresh.
Middle notes are hyacinth, theater clarie, sage and geranium.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I knew it would be sage.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And then the base notes, which are the ones that
actually last the long gust, musk, tonka, bean and amber.
And and that's so that's to me what gives it
more of its masculine you know, yeah to it. But
I love that and anything that I've seen that has
tonka bean in it, and amber tends to be a
(08:17):
scent that I like when it's but it's also got
to be accompanied by the.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And it works with your letter stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I guess it does.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
It's so funny about this is that every once in
a while Murphy will try a new soap or a
new shower gel and he'll step out of the shower and.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
He'll come get in bed with me and I'll be like,
what did you do?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You know what I'm talking about, And honestly, the only
way I can describe it, and you know, is something
I don't like and I hate it because you'll smell
it in the store or in the you open the
top of the shower gel and you're like, this is good,
but it smells different in the in the container than
it does with your body chemistry. And if something about
your body chemistry that certain it doesn't happen very often,
(08:56):
but you know when it does, because I'm like, what
is that? Because it smells almost powdery to me, which
is almost feminine, and I like a man to smell
like a man.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, And the one that you're talking about is the
sandal Wood version of of every Man.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Jack Oh every Man Jack. Oh, you have a huge
one of those.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Well, I know that's why when you when you hit
at the store, I'm like, go, okay, get ready, mister
powder is going to be.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
But it probably smells good on some men. You have
a different body chemistry.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, I don't think it's. I mean, that's me stepping
right out of the shower, you know, I mean obviously
drying off first, you know, but then it's you're smelling
it five minutes after a towel drive versus you know
it'd be a half hour. You don't know. I actually
showered with that this morning that I know. I use
the coconut version of it, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
But I don't find that those I spot yeah, no kidding,
not to say, but they make coconut every man Jack too.
You've seen that. But it's it doesn't seem to last
very long to me, those shower gels and all that's
I don't last thing. Yeah, it's while you're enjoying. It's
almost like aromatherapy during the shower itself, because no one
else is really going to notice that later except Jody.
(10:09):
But I yeah, I'm with you that I don't like
the powdery stuff. Either now, the one that I got
rid of, I was really toss up. It was a
toss up for me or I was torn, I should say,
because I liked the way that it went on me,
but I knew that it was going to be just
too intense for anybody else around me. And I purposely
never wore that one around you, Jody. I let you
(10:30):
smell it, yeah, but I never wore it. And I
mean the notes. It stayed all day long on me.
And it's the one that they say is for fall.
It's called the most Wanted Part fun by Zorro, and
it's got high reviews, but like anything in the world,
it's going to be subjective. And its top notes are ginger,
which is the first thing to kind of wear off
(10:50):
as soon as you put it on. Then the heart
of it is woodsy, different woodsy notes, which I like that,
And the base of it is this bourbon vanilla that
is the to me, it's the thing that really makes
it stand.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Out and hold it down.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
And I like that.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Smell, but I find that that scent stays on you.
And if somebody is not a big fan of the
even vanilla, as universal as it is, too much of
it can wind up going dude, what are you wearing?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Why do you smell sweet?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Why do you smell like a cupcake? Right?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Right? But you know it's and so it's not really
designed to be worn, and that's just scratching the service.
I'm nowhere, and there are so many different fragrances that
you can choose from, but I'm just a goober. I
walk into a department store, which I don't do very
often anymore, you know, because I do so much online shopping.
But when I Jody knows this, as soon as I
(11:44):
walk in the fragrance counter, I'm just like intoxicated.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'm like, can I.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Just stay here? Jody? Will you shop? Because I love it.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
What's funny is that there are certain fragrances like that
that I'll put on before bed. Not every night, but
let's just say I've showered, I get into bed and
you're not even in bed yet, and I'll put on
some cream. I have that bum bum cream in that
yellow round container. It's bum bum cream, is what it's called.
(12:14):
And I don't even know what the notes are, Coconut
and some other things. When I put that on, just
to moisturize my elbows and my skin. I kind of
put it everywhere, I guaranteed, even if he comes to
about an hour later he's like, oh you smell.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It makes me like, I know, hey, so haven't I
seen you somewhere before? It makes you want to rewind
back to the beginning of a relationship.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
That's only the body butter. That's what I put on,
is the cream body butter. Because I bought a little
roller ball of the fragrance, because that's how I try.
I don't buy the big jars, like the big bottles
like Murphy does. I'll try a roller ball first of
a fragrance, and I bought the little travel size and
the fragrance. You never acted that way like, okay me interesting, Yeah,
(13:03):
and that's fine. I don't wear it really I want
you to like it, but I really wear it.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
From me, I wear.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I choose all my fragrances and cosmetics for myself.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
What do you like to wear, Sam, I mean you
found that I can't remember what which one it is,
but I have that one that I really do like,
and that's what you consider that your signature?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, but do you have a Yeah, that's like, if
I'm doing something like this weekend, I've got something playing
with my daughter Maddie, I'll sprintz it on before I
go to that.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Otherwise you don't wear it on the daily, No, I
will say this, get a I love that Murphy's example
is cool because I kind of was raised at the
at the thought of like it was a big deal
for me as a girl growing up in the country
to get a bottle of perfume for Christmas from an
aunt I barely knew or something like that, because it
was like, oh my gosh, And I would put that
thing on my dresser like lah, like it was just sacred,
(13:56):
and I would wipe it off and when I cleaned
my room. You know, it was just I felt like
a grown up because I had a bottle of perfume
and it was probably something cheap, but I didn't think
it was. And so I also thought I had the
idea that I had to grow up and have a
signature of scent. And it's great for you to have
one that you love, that you find that works really
well for you and that you like. But there's nothing
(14:18):
wrong with trying new things. It's you know, and what's
cool about that is I guess the number one thing
to remember, I should say, if you want to smell good,
the number one thing you should look be looking for
is something that smells clean. Nobody has an objection to
something smelling clean. So if you're picking up a cologne bottle, Murphy,
(14:41):
and it smells like leather, or it smells like, you know,
ginger or amber wood or whatever, make sure it smells clean.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
You cannot go wrong with that. You can't, No, you.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Can't go wrong with that. There is something that I've
never been to put my finger on, which, by the way,
so the others that I wear. Just so you know, Sam,
if you're wonder what else is in the collection, mont
Blanc quiet mont Blanc legend to me is one of
my favorites. I've had that forever, And that might have
been I'm trying to remember who it was that recommended
(15:13):
that to one of our coworkers said, my husband wears
mont Blanc legend. It might have been Bridget who used
to work here. I think anyway, that's.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
All it takes for somebody to have mentioned one, and
Murphy's like, I try that, then.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, yeah, I mean it's I don't know, it's just curiosity,
that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
He's a real consumer.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I am the ultimate consumer. I suppose I do keep Savage,
but I don't use it very often because it's a
really intense one. It lasts all day. It's kind of
got that and I mean, I think, you know, it's
a smart Johnny Depp partnership. It really is one of
the most popular ones out there. It's also not very
it's not cheap, so I just use it sparingly. Jodie's
(15:49):
brother actually gave me a bottle of c k B
Calvin Klein B, which is a very inexpensive, you know, cologne.
And the only time I use it actually is when
I get out of the shower. It's not the powdery one,
just so you know, but that's a personal thing for me.
I just like the way that it smells. It does
not last for very long, you know, through the day,
so I don't wear it on a regular basis. So
(16:10):
I'm not like crazy over the top with all of this.
But most people don't.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Put cologne on after a shower just for themselves.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's one spread I don't know, I mean, it's I know,
I mean, you're supposed to put it on.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Well, so it's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, and uh but you know Jody's going to roll rise.
Frank Sinatra used to do that. He did, and there
actually was the goal. There was a lavender scented men's
cologne that's not made anymore. That's crazy expensive if you
buy it an eBay, not to try try to find
any remaining bottles. And it was his, it was his
signature scent. I guess it was like thus sent kind
(16:47):
of of the fifties and sixties, but it was really
high end. I'd be curious just to know what that
actually smells like. There and knockoffs, but there are people
that are like, nah, this is not the original deal.
I don't know why it's not made. I guess it's
not made anymore because lavin there is not a core
scent for most men's it's mine.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
That's what's weird about it to me. I'm not saying
it didn't smell great. I'm not saying he didn't smell great,
but you don't see lavender as the lead, base, top, bottom.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Scent of any popular men's colognes. In the notes.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's a more sophisticated industry now, I mean that's what
I've got to think, you know. I mean it's in
the forties, fifties and sixties. Whatever they were squeezing out
of plants is what they put together. And you know
that's that's what you have.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Couldn't you buy some stuff that Simon Cole wore one time?
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. That's so far.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No, it was so what The version he buys is
much more expensive and it's a very popular British it's
something Essence of Limes and it's like three hundred and
fifty bucks a bottle or something like that. No, I
did not buy that version of it. I bought the
knockoff version of it. But I liked it for its
(17:56):
because again that's a lighter scent. But it wore off
really quickly because I about.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The cheap one.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Okay, but yeah, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
When that was we were doing an interview with We
were talking to him and and I don't even know why.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Well, he was being very flirtatious, Yeah he was, and
he loved Jody, and.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
And he he volunteered what he I think he volunteered
what he wears.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I don't know if I asked him, but.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I think you must have asked him that, you know,
and I remember, but yeah, it was the I forget
the name of the name of the company, but it
was essence of Limes. What I remember, you know, it
being it's got the citrus notes to it. So but
you know, I just figured I would share that with
you in case I'm intrigued by It's not like I've
got a lot of time to commit to it, and
I'm certainly not an expert, but it's fascinating to me
(18:43):
that the companies, you know, and they they are constantly
experimenting with the different amounts and difference you know, Uh,
I don't know what you call that, you know, just
recipes oils, And I guess it would be a.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Recipe kind of to you know, formula.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Right to come up with, to come up with, you know,
new fragrances, nominations.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Jody, can I buy that one that Murphy has at Alta?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't he would know?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
What are you talking about? The Yeah, oh yeah, they
sell that there, they sell Dylan Belue. They've got a
great men's counter that you should go together. Yeah, you
know what, one of my you know, one of my
favorite sense is at at Alta it's well.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
The whole place, so it's but it's actually a.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's actually a women's perfume. I'm not gonna wear it, obviously.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But I'm surprised you haven't bought it from.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Me then, So it's an it's an Ariana Grande perfume.
Oh yeah, and I'm forgetting. Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Uh, I don't remember. If it's she's got a few,
it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I mean, I guess it could be cloud, but for
some reason I think it was. Was that what her
like our first one?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I don't remember. I don't know the order of her fragrance.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
She's got really cool she's got really cool bottles.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I do.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I love the you know, but a couple of people
that I've known that have worn the you know, Ariana
Gruande fragrances are like it's they're kind of intoxicating too.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I didn't know about that. Missed any part of the show.
Get it All on the Murphy Salmon Jody Podcast.
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam and Choti after the show podcast.
Thank you for subscribing, and follow us on YouTube also
if you want to see what's going on. Sam this
morning walked in and said that I've got some sort
of game because of the colone that I'm wearing.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Because you're thrown out.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
The vibe for the RAI smells so fresh and clean.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's funny because it's versace poor om. I think I'm
saying that right, Versace for men for men, and which
is I guess their baseline. They've got all sorts of
and I like it a bunch of different versions. I've
got Dylan Blue. I've just kind of fallen into that
one because I like it. And that's what I wanted
to explain today, because I've really learned how to pick
and choose these over the years for my own body
(00:40):
chemistry and what I like, because that does make a difference.
But there's there's more than just your you know, body
chemistry involved in it. And I didn't realize this until
I bought the wrong cologne a couple of months ago.
And it's because I bought it online. I didn't sample it.
You know, really, when it comes to Colonne perfumes and
all that. You really should go to Alta or somewhere
(01:01):
and actually sample.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Almost threw down about that.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I was like, you bought this without even putting it
on your skin for a sample.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I was like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Because it's that's it's body chemistry, and one thing that
smells great on you would not necessarily smell good on Sam.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And that is just a fact.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
So fragrance is something you should try on your own body,
period before.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
You spend a dime.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
So like, that's what this, That's why there are samples
and department stores and in Alta, some.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Mistake fragrance what it was just like too strong.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Or yeah, it was too intense. And as I started
to read up on it, the description was, well, the
reviews were like five stars and so. And I did
like the way that it smells, but it has a
smell in it that I don't know that is JODI's favorite,
which is a more kind of a tobacco ish, you know,
vanilla notes you're fine with, but anything that's the tobacco
(01:52):
kind of that amber that really I don't remember. It's
a male kind of a musk type, you know. To me,
I equate it with gar smoking. That's what it smells
to me, like kind of cigari, and amber is the
color of it, and people raved about it. But it's
very polarizing because it's really strong when it goes on
(02:13):
you at first, and then as it starts to evaporate,
because you know, colone doesn't smell the same an hour later.
Well on different people, yes, but an hour later some
of the notes will leave. And that's that's what I
started studying. I'm not aficionado by any means, but I
think I find it fascinating, just like I find it
fascinating that there are different coffees, and you know, just
(02:36):
like I find it. I used to, you know, enjoy
sampling different wines back when I drank. I like the
experimentation of it because I'm a sensory person. I like
good smells, but I don't want something to be overpowering.
I don't want something to choke somebody in the elevator
that I'm standing next to and excuse me. So as
I started to read up on these, the one that
(02:57):
you like, sam is really a spring summer scent, and
the one that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I've liked, it's just yes, I don't even know how
to put it into words. It's just refreshing.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And the one that I bought, which was called I
Always Forget, it's not like the best one ever. It's
got some sort of a name. The hold on one second,
I'm gonna tell you real quick. It's by a Zarro.
It's called the Most Wanted par Fum, but it's it's
a men's colone and.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Uh doesn't sound like it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But it's it's better used in the fall and winter.
And the reason why is because in the heat, your
body is going to cause the cologne or whatever it
is to evaporate much more quickly, and so it also
disappears more quickly as a result of that. And you know,
because of that, you don't want to wear the lighter
(03:48):
sense during the winter time because they will fade fast. Also,
because there's no heat intensity, they're just not going to last.
So the lighter sense that you're talking talking about are
better for spring because of how they evaporated when they evaporate,
and there's a whole bunch of chemistry that goes behind this.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
They maybe that's why I don't understand it, because I've
always heard that. You know, even if you have a
signature scent and you wear it all year long, because
I have a couple that I wear in all seasons,
and it's a Chanelle mademoiselle, you know, and it does.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And it works and it smells great in all seasons.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
But you use less in the winter. I believe you
use less in the winter.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Is that right, because it's it lasts longer and it
seems stronger or something about the cold temperature.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But in the heat, that's correct.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
And evaporates quickly, but it also kind of imagine the
heat making it kind of steam out to everybody around you.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That's correct, That's exactly right. That's exactly what I was
reading about both of these. And so the you know,
the Versace one that I wear now is better for
spring summer because in the wintertime, And what's crazy now
that I think about this and you saying this, Sam,
we're in spring. Now, I've worn this cologne for a while,
but I've noticed in the winter it really doesn't it
doesn't last, you know, incredibly anyway, Jody would notice it,
(05:08):
because she's the only one getting close enough to me
to still smell it later in the day. But but
in the wintertime, I don't get as much feedback on it,
And I guess it's because you know that the rudder.
What's funny. I mean, I'm not like for feedback, you know,
because you know what I'm saying. It just I just
it just occurred to me that I hear more more
(05:28):
a while. What is that you're wearing spring summer when
I'm wearing this and not in the fall.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I also wonder if it has again, also not a scientist.
It has to do with your pores. You know, when
you're warmer, they're open, they're more open, and when in
the winter time everything's closed up, so you sure, maybe
it leaves your body quicker.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Sure, I've always heard too. I don't know if this
was a trick. You know, women are full of you know,
cosmetic tricks. But I'd always heard that you can wear
less in the winter, like one squirt versus two in
the summer.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, if you're using one or whatever you're using.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Here's the description that I had read that helps with this.
Perfumes and colognes are seasonal mainly because of temperature, humidity,
and skin chemistry. So it's really the combination of all
of those. Because something may smell great to you that's
on me, but you could spray it on somebody else
and it actually could put off a different, you know,
like a totally different scent. But it's weird how some things,
(06:21):
you know, interact, And so this is what it says, Jody.
Hot weather speeds up evaporation and intensifies the projection, so
the heavy sense can be very overwhelming, which is exactly correct,
and then the cold weather slows it. Lighter scents can
fade more quickly or feel flat.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
So the stronger sense that you have put a moderate
amount on, but the stronger scents are better for the winter.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
They're better for the winter. And it sounds like in
the winter time, if you were a signature scent all
year long, you might need to wear a little bit
more of it in the winter. Yeah, I mean, I
don't think i'd go overboard and crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I would never go overboard. That's the mistake, because you
can't undo that. Really, I've tried. I accidentally sprayed one
too many one morning, and so I grabbed the towel
really quickly, and I'll like rub my neck and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
What I'm trying to figure out is which flavor what
they call notes, and these are really the things that
make up the sense, so that I can be a
more intelligent buyer, because I'll know, if you know that
there are certain notes that don't resonate with you, then
don't buy the Colonna perfume in the first place.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
But you really have to read and you know, research that,
and it's it's really in depth. So I found out
just for you, Sam oh goody, the Versace that I wear,
which has been out since two thousand and eight, Versace
Poor Home. Yeah. The top notes, the ones that really
step out are the lemon, bergamot and neroli. I don't
know what that is. Rose to mind, I don't know
(07:41):
what that is. And so those citrus notes are the
top ones. There are probably the ones that really come
off as the light refreshment smell so clean and fresh.
Middle notes are hyacinth, theater clarie, sage and geranium.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I knew it would be sage.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And then the base notes, which are the ones that
actually last the long gust, musk, tonka, bean and amber.
And and that's so that's to me what gives it
more of its masculine you know, yeah to it. But
I love that and anything that I've seen that has
tonka bean in it, and amber tends to be a
(08:17):
scent that I like when it's but it's also got
to be accompanied by the.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And it works with your letter stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I guess it does.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
It's so funny about this is that every once in
a while Murphy will try a new soap or a
new shower gel and he'll step out of the shower and.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
He'll come get in bed with me and I'll be like,
what did you do?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You know what I'm talking about, And honestly, the only
way I can describe it, and you know, is something
I don't like and I hate it because you'll smell
it in the store or in the you open the
top of the shower gel and you're like, this is good,
but it smells different in the in the container than
it does with your body chemistry. And if something about
your body chemistry that certain it doesn't happen very often,
(08:56):
but you know when it does, because I'm like, what
is that? Because it smells almost powdery to me, which
is almost feminine, and I like a man to smell
like a man.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, And the one that you're talking about is the
sandal Wood version of of every Man.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Jack Oh every Man Jack. Oh, you have a huge
one of those.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Well, I know that's why when you when you hit
at the store, I'm like, go, okay, get ready, mister
powder is going to be.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
But it probably smells good on some men. You have
a different body chemistry.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, I don't think it's. I mean, that's me stepping
right out of the shower, you know, I mean obviously
drying off first, you know, but then it's you're smelling
it five minutes after a towel drive versus you know
it'd be a half hour. You don't know. I actually
showered with that this morning that I know. I use
the coconut version of it, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
But I don't find that those I spot yeah, no kidding,
not to say, but they make coconut every man Jack too.
You've seen that. But it's it doesn't seem to last
very long to me, those shower gels and all that's
I don't last thing. Yeah, it's while you're enjoying. It's
almost like aromatherapy during the shower itself, because no one
else is really going to notice that later except Jody.
(10:09):
But I yeah, I'm with you that I don't like
the powdery stuff. Either now, the one that I got
rid of, I was really toss up. It was a
toss up for me or I was torn, I should say,
because I liked the way that it went on me,
but I knew that it was going to be just
too intense for anybody else around me. And I purposely
never wore that one around you, Jody. I let you
(10:30):
smell it, yeah, but I never wore it. And I
mean the notes. It stayed all day long on me.
And it's the one that they say is for fall.
It's called the most Wanted Part fun by Zorro, and
it's got high reviews, but like anything in the world,
it's going to be subjective. And its top notes are ginger,
which is the first thing to kind of wear off
(10:50):
as soon as you put it on. Then the heart
of it is woodsy, different woodsy notes, which I like that,
And the base of it is this bourbon vanilla that
is the to me, it's the thing that really makes
it stand.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Out and hold it down.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
And I like that.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Smell, but I find that that scent stays on you.
And if somebody is not a big fan of the
even vanilla, as universal as it is, too much of
it can wind up going dude, what are you wearing?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Why do you smell sweet?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Why do you smell like a cupcake? Right?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Right? But you know it's and so it's not really
designed to be worn, and that's just scratching the service.
I'm nowhere, and there are so many different fragrances that
you can choose from, but I'm just a goober. I
walk into a department store, which I don't do very
often anymore, you know, because I do so much online shopping.
But when I Jody knows this, as soon as I
(11:44):
walk in the fragrance counter, I'm just like intoxicated.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'm like, can I.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Just stay here? Jody? Will you shop? Because I love it.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
What's funny is that there are certain fragrances like that
that I'll put on before bed. Not every night, but
let's just say I've showered, I get into bed and
you're not even in bed yet, and I'll put on
some cream. I have that bum bum cream in that
yellow round container. It's bum bum cream, is what it's called.
(12:14):
And I don't even know what the notes are, Coconut
and some other things. When I put that on, just
to moisturize my elbows and my skin. I kind of
put it everywhere, I guaranteed, even if he comes to
about an hour later he's like, oh you smell.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It makes me like, I know, hey, so haven't I
seen you somewhere before? It makes you want to rewind
back to the beginning of a relationship.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
That's only the body butter. That's what I put on,
is the cream body butter. Because I bought a little
roller ball of the fragrance, because that's how I try.
I don't buy the big jars, like the big bottles
like Murphy does. I'll try a roller ball first of
a fragrance, and I bought the little travel size and
the fragrance. You never acted that way like, okay me interesting, Yeah,
(13:03):
and that's fine. I don't wear it really I want
you to like it, but I really wear it.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
From me, I wear.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I choose all my fragrances and cosmetics for myself.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
What do you like to wear, Sam, I mean you
found that I can't remember what which one it is,
but I have that one that I really do like,
and that's what you consider that your signature?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, but do you have a Yeah, that's like, if
I'm doing something like this weekend, I've got something playing
with my daughter Maddie, I'll sprintz it on before I
go to that.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Otherwise you don't wear it on the daily, No, I
will say this, get a I love that Murphy's example
is cool because I kind of was raised at the
at the thought of like it was a big deal
for me as a girl growing up in the country
to get a bottle of perfume for Christmas from an
aunt I barely knew or something like that, because it
was like, oh my gosh, And I would put that
thing on my dresser like lah, like it was just sacred,
(13:56):
and I would wipe it off and when I cleaned
my room. You know, it was just I felt like
a grown up because I had a bottle of perfume
and it was probably something cheap, but I didn't think
it was. And so I also thought I had the
idea that I had to grow up and have a
signature of scent. And it's great for you to have
one that you love, that you find that works really
well for you and that you like. But there's nothing
(14:18):
wrong with trying new things. It's you know, and what's
cool about that is I guess the number one thing
to remember, I should say, if you want to smell good,
the number one thing you should look be looking for
is something that smells clean. Nobody has an objection to
something smelling clean. So if you're picking up a cologne bottle, Murphy,
(14:41):
and it smells like leather, or it smells like, you know,
ginger or amber wood or whatever, make sure it smells clean.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
You cannot go wrong with that. You can't, No, you.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Can't go wrong with that. There is something that I've
never been to put my finger on, which, by the way,
so the others that I wear. Just so you know, Sam,
if you're wonder what else is in the collection, mont
Blanc quiet mont Blanc legend to me is one of
my favorites. I've had that forever, And that might have
been I'm trying to remember who it was that recommended
(15:13):
that to one of our coworkers said, my husband wears
mont Blanc legend. It might have been Bridget who used
to work here. I think anyway, that's.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
All it takes for somebody to have mentioned one, and
Murphy's like, I try that, then.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, yeah, I mean it's I don't know, it's just curiosity,
that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
He's a real consumer.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I am the ultimate consumer. I suppose I do keep Savage,
but I don't use it very often because it's a
really intense one. It lasts all day. It's kind of
got that and I mean, I think, you know, it's
a smart Johnny Depp partnership. It really is one of
the most popular ones out there. It's also not very
it's not cheap, so I just use it sparingly. Jodie's
(15:49):
brother actually gave me a bottle of c k B
Calvin Klein B, which is a very inexpensive, you know, cologne.
And the only time I use it actually is when
I get out of the shower. It's not the powdery one,
just so you know, but that's a personal thing for me.
I just like the way that it smells. It does
not last for very long, you know, through the day,
so I don't wear it on a regular basis. So
(16:10):
I'm not like crazy over the top with all of this.
But most people don't.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Put cologne on after a shower just for themselves.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's one spread I don't know, I mean, it's I know,
I mean, you're supposed to put it on.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Well, so it's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, and uh but you know Jody's going to roll rise.
Frank Sinatra used to do that. He did, and there
actually was the goal. There was a lavender scented men's
cologne that's not made anymore. That's crazy expensive if you
buy it an eBay, not to try try to find
any remaining bottles. And it was his, it was his
signature scent. I guess it was like thus sent kind
(16:47):
of of the fifties and sixties, but it was really
high end. I'd be curious just to know what that
actually smells like. There and knockoffs, but there are people
that are like, nah, this is not the original deal.
I don't know why it's not made. I guess it's
not made anymore because lavin there is not a core
scent for most men's it's mine.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
That's what's weird about it to me. I'm not saying
it didn't smell great. I'm not saying he didn't smell great,
but you don't see lavender as the lead, base, top, bottom.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Scent of any popular men's colognes. In the notes.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's a more sophisticated industry now, I mean that's what
I've got to think, you know. I mean it's in
the forties, fifties and sixties. Whatever they were squeezing out
of plants is what they put together. And you know
that's that's what you have.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Couldn't you buy some stuff that Simon Cole wore one time?
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. That's so far.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No, it was so what The version he buys is
much more expensive and it's a very popular British it's
something Essence of Limes and it's like three hundred and
fifty bucks a bottle or something like that. No, I
did not buy that version of it. I bought the
knockoff version of it. But I liked it for its
(17:56):
because again that's a lighter scent. But it wore off
really quickly because I about.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The cheap one.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Okay, but yeah, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
When that was we were doing an interview with We
were talking to him and and I don't even know why.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Well, he was being very flirtatious, Yeah he was, and
he loved Jody, and.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
And he he volunteered what he I think he volunteered
what he wears.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I don't know if I asked him, but.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I think you must have asked him that, you know,
and I remember, but yeah, it was the I forget
the name of the name of the company, but it
was essence of Limes. What I remember, you know, it
being it's got the citrus notes to it. So but
you know, I just figured I would share that with
you in case I'm intrigued by It's not like I've
got a lot of time to commit to it, and
I'm certainly not an expert, but it's fascinating to me
(18:43):
that the companies, you know, and they they are constantly
experimenting with the different amounts and difference you know, Uh,
I don't know what you call that, you know, just
recipes oils, And I guess it would be a.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Recipe kind of to you know, formula.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Right to come up with, to come up with, you know,
new fragrances, nominations.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Jody, can I buy that one that Murphy has at Alta?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't he would know?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
What are you talking about? The Yeah, oh yeah, they
sell that there, they sell Dylan Belue. They've got a
great men's counter that you should go together. Yeah, you
know what, one of my you know, one of my
favorite sense is at at Alta it's well.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
The whole place, so it's but it's actually a.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's actually a women's perfume. I'm not gonna wear it, obviously.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But I'm surprised you haven't bought it from.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Me then, So it's an it's an Ariana Grande perfume.
Oh yeah, and I'm forgetting. Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Uh, I don't remember. If it's she's got a few,
it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I mean, I guess it could be cloud, but for
some reason I think it was. Was that what her
like our first one?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I don't remember. I don't know the order of her fragrance.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
She's got really cool she's got really cool bottles.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I do.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I love the you know, but a couple of people
that I've known that have worn the you know, Ariana
Gruande fragrances are like it's they're kind of intoxicating too.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I didn't know about that. Missed any part of the show.
