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?

We've all been perfume-fished before — someone smells really good, which makes you crush real hard, and then after getting to know them, you realize that maybe the best thing about them was their scent... Honestly, could be worse!

It’s the start of 2025, and what are we smelling? A lot of existential ennui, a lot of apocalyptic uncertainty, a lot of Baccarat Rouge dupes.

The smell that launched a thousand ships, if there was one, it would probably be wafting from some maiden absolutely doused in any cheirosa of choice from Sol De Janeiro's perfume mists. We have Maggie Arms and Liza Henowitz from the product side to talk to us about the Sol De Janeiro scent philosophy, some top-tier Cheirosa combos, and what makes their perfume mists just so... that girl.

Aroma is the singular fragrance of Costa Brazil, one recognizable by its wooden box "bottle" and unforgettable by its deeply resinous and earthy... aroma. We have Francisco Costa on this episode to talk about his trips to the Amazon, which led to the creation of this very popular scent, and the importance of having a point of view through scent.

We have Mark and Nick Holmes, the father & son duo of Bianco Profumo — a new Chicago-based fragrance brand that captures the Italian-Americana of the '80s and '90s. In their words: "We do it big. Our hair is perfectly spritzed into place, we speak ten decibels louder than everyone else, we’re the life of every party, and we smell f**king terrific."
