| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. |
| 0:12.6 | This is the first ever episode of 2024, and I thought I would kick off the new year with a special solo episode. |
| 0:18.1 | And that is because it is January 16th when this episode comes out. |
| 0:21.2 | Okay. And I realize that my statute of limitations is about to expire on how long I have |
| 0:25.9 | where I can talk about New Year's resolutions or best of 2023 or say, what did you do for |

| 1:18.8 | We have notes of pesto, oregano, phenol, olive, basil, rosemary. |
| 1:26.3 | You think you know where this is going, right? Maybe sort of aromatic, maybe a bit vegetal, green, rosemary. You think you know where this is going, right? |
| 1:27.7 | Maybe sort of aromatic, maybe a bit vegetal, green, et cetera. |
| 1:31.3 | Wrong, okay. |
| 1:32.9 | Ice cream, aldehydes, sesame, immortel, pistachio, cumerin, |
| 1:40.7 | vetiver, guillac wood, ginger. |
