Fragraphilia - The Podcast

It's our longest episode yet, for better or worse, but things go deep when you start talking about disappointing new releases, the intoxicating and transformative sensations of testing Strangelove NYC all week, and how we benefit from each other's fondness of certain perfumes and scents. All that and a round of The Game featuring scents that conjure up witches brews, 80s sodas, and gym socks. Yes,...

We start this episode on a big high from the capital 'P' Perfume, El by Arquiste, and then share a real scent low after dealing with a dog that decided to square up to a rogue neighborhood skunk. Find out how those pair together with our other scents of the week including a quick run through some of our favorites from the Astrophil & Stella discovery kit. All that and The Game where both Jeff...

After a quick one-week break from the pod, we stir up a couple of Manhattans, spray our hair with a little Elnett, and go through our scents of the (past two) weeks.

From Plasticine pink dream houses to the animalic twists of honey notes that can sometimes take urinous turns, we go through our scents of the week, share some thoughts on longevity and beast mode, and then Jane tricks Jeff into finally surrendering to one of her all time wants in another round of The Game . The devil is at work in this episode for sure. Fragrances mentioned in this episode: Slow...

Maggie the Cat is alive and she's here! Putting our money where our mouths, we ordered the newest release from Marissa Zappas and it arrived just in time for recording. In this second episode, we offer or initial thoughts on Maggie the Cat is Alive! I'm Alive , go over our scents of the week, and add a few more fragrances to the full bottle want list during The Match (not really better than The Ga...

In this first ever episode of Fragraphilia, the Podcast , we overcome a restless baby, powers outages and hail, and most of all, our complete lack of experience in recording and editing audio files for this podcast. Despite it all, we talk about our scents of the week, what it would take for us to blind buy something (with a nod to Les Oderants ), and finally, our first attempt at " The Game" (nam...
