Fragraphilia - The Podcast

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.

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. Highlight from the Game - Find out which fragrance smells just like Bjork speaks in that late 80s video clip with her dismantling a TV. You know the one...

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.

We cover it all in this Black Friday episode (that doesn't really include anything for BF). We talk Dusita, Trudon, and whether or not Future Society is the Theranos of fragrance. We also deal with a crying baby, annoying smoke detectors, and share a couple of delicious dirty martinis.

Halloween may be over but those spooky sensations have followed us well into November as we throw up the devil horns and discuss a few perfumes inspired by the darker sides of life including De Profundis by Serge Lutens and Hexensalbe by Stora Skuggan. We also marvel over the big time bold move of Melanie Martinez's follow up to the wildly successful Cry Baby as well as a walk-through of the latest from Thin Wild Mercury.

Welcome to our first installment of Fragra-Files, a new series in which we dedicate a full episode to focus on a specific house, note, guide, or anything else fragrance related that requires a bit more time, research, and discussion than available in our typical episodes. Our first subject is the house of Aesop and their wonderful collection of fragrances that live up perfectly to their iconic beauty brand's style and ethos. As listeners of the show can attest from previous episodes, we are big fans of their 2017 release, Hwyl, and through testing the full line thanks to our region's Aesop representative, it's definitely not the only one. Listen in as we tour through each fragrance, offering our thoughts and opinions along the way. Please feel free to email us at hello@fragraphilia.com - Send us questions, comments, or recommendations. We can be found on TikTok and Instagram @fragraphiliaAs explained in the episode, several bottles of the collection were gifted to us for review. All opinions and thoughts are our own and never influenced by anyone else despite their kindness of affording us such an opportunity.

We are back with another episode and you better believe, true form, that we faced some sort of obstacle in the lead up. This time a rickety old air conditioner unit that forced us out of our home for several days. Thank goodness that have perfumes, will travel. We made great use of our time at Jane's parents testing out samples for you all. This week, Penahligon's Potions and Remedies! We also discuss some new release news, share a handful of witchy October perfume selects, and run through the scents we've been wearing lately. Oh, yeah, and Babycat! Tune in for all of the above and another round of The Game where Jeff brings some smoky patchoulis and Jane goes forest floor green.

Fresh from our visit to New York, we discuss our experiences shopping for fragrances, the scents we encountered on the street, and the dank clouds of cannabis smoke that seem to be everywhere. Even the rats were stoned! Join us as we talk about the favorites we sampled, the few we brought home, and a couple perfumes we wish we would've purchased as well. That’s life in the big city, I suppose. Also, our most recent Scents of the Week and a few ideas on what’s to come in future episodes including a full review of Babycat, its potential mates available here in the US, and a full on showdown with the smoky vanillas currently filling up our want-list. If you have suggestions for similarly styled vanillas, please send them to hello@fragraphilia.com. And finally, The Game, as Jane worries that maybe we like too many of our choices and we talk about plans for an all celebrity fragrances as well as a designer brands-only editions. Fragrances mentioned in this episode: Santal 33 by Le Labo / Not a Perfume by Juliette Has A Gun / Molecule 01 and Molecule 02 by Eccentric Molecules / Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian / Oh Mon Dieu!

Did we ramble on way too long in this episode? Absolutely! Is it jam-packed, filled minute to minute with informative and gripping content? Debatable... but we had fun recording it. One thing's for sure, and you know it's always a safe bet, is that we bring up fragrances from DS & Durga, Byredo, Arquiste, and of course, Ex Nihilo but in between talk about getting weird in the studio, 60-something art witches, and covering up cigar smoke with dryer sheets. We also discuss our favorite brands, a handful we're really crushing on right now, and a few that maybe need to step it up a bit. Plus, some new releases we're excited about and some major pleasers during The Game.
