| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. My center of the day today is an oldie book goody. I am wearing |
| 0:15.3 | Baud d'Archante from the Dior Privet Collection from Christian Dior. And I'm wearing it because after we recorded today's |
| 0:22.0 | episode, I was just craving it. It feels completely in line with some of the trends that we |
| 0:26.0 | discussed later in the episode, which of course you will hear all about. For me, Boad d'Argent |
| 0:31.3 | is very much a sort of mac and cheese scent, and a mac and cheese scent is a term that I made |
| 0:36.0 | up for any scent that feels like pure comfort, |
| 0:39.7 | a perfume that's as easily soothing to smell as mac and cheese is to eat. |
| 0:45.2 | Bois d'Argent is an iris mersent with other notes of honey, vanilla, juniper berry, |
| 0:51.1 | some ambery and woody notes, and I find that it exists somewhere in |
| 0:54.7 | between a sort of like warm, honey-vanilla-y gourmand, and then a sort of iris-y skin scent. |
| 1:01.3 | It's simultaneously neither, and it's both. And you know what? It just feels right. |
| 1:07.0 | Let's get to this week's episode. Today is a very special timely trend report on New York Fashion Week, which would you believe ended only last Wednesday, so you can imagine how quickly this episode was pulled together. |
| 1:19.0 | I am so excited to be joined by high snobiety beauty editor, Alexander Pauly. And today we are breaking down all the biggest beauty and fashion trends that we saw and how these runway trends have translated and will translate into future fragrance trends. |
| 1:34.8 | Barbicore, girl core, apple core. I'm just kidding. I made that one up. But you know what? There is a strawberry core, so I feel like Applecore is not far behind. And other popular trends like mermaid hair, |
| 1:44.5 | bows and ribbons, and berry lips. Today, Alex and I discuss some of the biggest looks |
| 1:48.8 | from some of the most memorable shows like Sandy Leang, Christian Siriano, Helmut Lang, Kalina |
| 1:54.2 | Strata, and most importantly, we forecast what all of these trends will smell like. |
| 2:01.4 | This was a fun one. |
| 2:02.7 | Here is Alexandra Polly. |
| 2:06.3 | Alex, welcome to the perfume room. |
| 2:08.5 | How are you doing today? |
| 2:09.8 | I'm doing very well. |
