| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. It is Friday, December 8th. I am recording this at like 6.15 p.m. I just had a glass of wine. I'm feeling a little delirious. So let's see how this goes. But I wanted to put out a |
| 0:23.7 | special episode for you, especially this time of year, because I've gotten several requests |
| 0:28.4 | asking for my picks for the best fragrant gifts, et cetera. So this is it. This is your official |
| 0:35.0 | holiday gift guide episode. |
| 0:38.4 | My gift guide is a mix of things that I want, things that I will be giving, and also requests |
| 0:44.1 | from you for people who DM me in the last few weeks asking me for help with figuring out |
| 0:49.1 | the perfect fragrant gift for somebody in your life. I have picked a handful of those messages |

| 1:19.8 | masterpiece. And of course, who is behind it? None other than our friend, Frank Vocal. This is like |
| 1:26.3 | a musky, cocooning, but also like starchy, lectonic fig. |
| 1:32.6 | Like there's a smell that feels. I'm smelling it right now because I sprayed it on my sweatshirt. |
| 1:37.2 | I'm going to smell it and talk about it. So you obviously have that very green feel from fig, |
| 1:43.3 | and maybe there's specifically like fig leaf in here. |
| 1:45.7 | But there's something that feels almost like a banana lactone. |
| 1:49.0 | Like there's something a little creamy, a little like yellow floral bananae. |
| 1:53.7 | But also it's very anchored in a sort of like grainy, starchy iris. I am not looking at the fragrance pyramid. I could be talking out of my |
| 2:04.2 | ass right now, but that is just particularly what I am smelling. Imagine if you isolated sort of that |
