Smell Ya Later

Smell Ya Later

Two friends from the beauty industry chat about all things scent and smell. Every week, Smell Ya Later explores the myriad ways we interact with the aromas and odors in our lives, the scents seared into our memories, and how scent defines the way we envision our future. Hosted by Tynan Sinks & Sable Yong For more info, check out our website: www.smellyalater.live Follow @smellyalater.mp3 on Instagram for episode updates and maybe memes sometimes.

194: Rite Of Way's lighting accord in a bottle⚡️(feat. Alex Brands)

June 24, 2025 • 66 mins
We recently met Alex Brands, founder of the new fragrance... brand, Rite Of Way, at our scent swap last month. He gifted us his first scent Outer Realm, and we were intrigued by the packaging design, the cute little tote, and of course, the scent (which also happens to be created by Joey Rosin, former guest and perfumer for Sable's Die Hot With A Vengeance perfume). We welcome Alex on this episode to give us a breakdown of how...

193: Honestly what's with all these body mists?

June 17, 2025 • 41 mins
No, really though? What would a banana, peanut butter, and bread perfume smell like? What's that one fragrance brand Tynan accidentally had been hating on for too long? What will Sabrina Carpenter's new  Man's Best Friend album era perfume release be? What's the cocktail scent Tynan wanted to wear this week? So many queries for so many smells we've smelled this week!

191: Anyway, shout out to billionaires 😮‍💨💸

June 3, 2025 • 45 mins
Sable went to Miami for too long. Tynan discovers what a buy-out is for Rhode Beauty's M&A. We both went to Nette's Lemon Puff fete. We smell the new D.S. & Durga cologne collection, with unexpected results. We talk about Krigler's newest fragrance and Violet Grey's first fragrance, only one of which we've smelled, but both may as well be Klarna bait for anyone who wants to own them. It's a Smell Ya Later catch-up.

190: Talking with your hands never smelled so good

May 20, 2025 • 55 mins
Hand sanitizer has a rather unfair reputation — this sticky, medical-smelling goo serves to remind us of a worldwide pandemic, or else the inconvenience of not being able to find a wash sink with soap. Ugh. 
Touchland is a brand that elevates the hand sanitizer experience with complex, trend-driven scents that could double as perfume in a pinch (and often does). And sure, lots of hand sanitizers come scented, but Touchland...

189: What went down at our first scent swap?

May 13, 2025 • 50 mins
In case you hadn't heard from our last five eps or so, we hosted our first scent swap last week at Talea in Brooklyn. We had 180 RSVPs, 50 swag bags, and a whole lot of perfumes to swap. Here's a little catch-up about the event, and some smells we've been enjoying recently.

188: When Rebrands Flop ☹️

April 22, 2025 • 52 mins
The chat around the frag-o-sphere as of late has been steaming about Boy Smell's big rebrand. It's been called everything from Temu-ified to TikTok-bait. And aside from our thoughts about it (of which they exist in abundance), we wondered what rebrands are for, when are they successful, and what do brands owe their audience?

187: How to smell like a music festival 🏁 [feat. Romy Kowalewski of 27 87]

April 15, 2025 • 62 mins
Burnt rubber, absinthe, red pepper, fennel — not the most typical notes you'd find in a perfume, but 27 87 has a clever way of incorporating unexpected things into their very sophisticated, very balanced, and very can't-stop-smelling-yourself fragrances.  Romy Kowalewski, the German-born and Barcelona-based founder of 27 87 makes such scents, based on the most striking elements of so many shared experiences and feelings.

185: The computers are smelling [feat. Christophe Laudamiel of OSMO]

April 1, 2025 • 71 mins
The fragrance industry is trotting out AI more and more in new creations and creative development, but when it comes to digitizing smells, OSMO is a Google-born initiative that uses machine learning, sensory neuroscience, data science, engineering, fine fragrance, analytical chemistry, and product development to map smells, engineer new smell molecules, recreate living scents, and finagle how olfactory technology can aid other...

183: A dupe by any other name would smell as [redacted]

March 11, 2025 • 53 mins
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 th...

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 L...

180: The blind leading the buys

February 18, 2025 • 55 mins
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?

February 11, 2025 • 59 mins
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!

We're chatting about all the things we've smelled during the longest month of the year (new Chloe, new Fine'ry collection, Jil Sander's newest perfume drop, and more), addressing a listener question about scents being licensed for other media, and speculating on which beauty brands are going to be doing f...

176: The State of Scent (What is it?)

January 14, 2025 • 55 mins
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. 

If a chart of the fragrance brands with the most social media “vitality scores” (c/o WWD and Beauty Inc) is to be believed, it’s a lot of the usual suspects. But if we were to go off of what we’re seeing (or smelling) released, fragrance is getting more individualistic as it i...
