| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. |
| 0:12.3 | I have a special guest who's going to co-host my intro with me today. |
| 0:16.2 | Today I am joined by longtime friend of the pod. |
| 0:19.4 | Liz Rundstrom, you know her, you love her, base note bitch. Liz, hello. Hi, Emma. Honored to be here, as always. It's the best for in my apartment. We have such a fun episode planned. Before we get into it, what is your send to the day today? Well, I recently went to Bergdorf and Dries Van Norton was very strategically placed at the end of the escalator. |
| 0:40.3 | So I'm wearing raving rose because I cannot get it out of my mind. |
| 0:44.4 | And it's rose season. |
| 0:45.8 | It is rose. |
| 0:46.6 | Okay, you walked into my apartment and I just was like, what are you wearing? |
| 0:50.4 | And at first I thought it might be La Perla Possibilities, which on second examination is |
| 0:54.6 | very off. It's much more pink peppery. But it is good. It is really good. The whole line I really |
| 1:00.7 | encourage you to smell through. I was like, I mean, the bottles themselves are beautiful, but it's |
| 1:06.0 | like a case where there's not really a stinker from the line. It's really good. Yeah, no misses. Some more hits than others in my opinion, but there's nothing that I'm like, what? Yeah, it's really unique. It's great. Okay, my scent of the day today is, and I picked this based on the theme of today's episode, because I've sort of likened it to this. I am wearing one. You all know I talk about all the time. La Perlo |
| 1:28.7 | Once Upon a Garden. You just smelled it for the first time today, right, Liz? I did. And it's like, |
| 1:33.5 | it's so weird. You were kind of using it as like a lead in to some of the fragrances that we will be |
| 1:40.2 | discussing because it's youthful and super fresh. But I think it's like, you're going to smell |
| 1:45.3 | it on me? Yeah. Is that not the most fun? It's so fun and springy and fresh, but still like |
| 1:52.3 | interesting and mature. I don't know. Elements of like something you would think of like from Tommy |
| 1:57.1 | girl, but then there's like a deep earthiness to it. There's a pruniness to it. |
| 2:19.7 | And it's almost, yeah, there's something that feels like dried fruits. Yeah. And like a mossiness. But then it also at the same time is like, but with Tommy Girl. Like it's just this. I don't know. I love it so much. It's like a fairy shampoo. I love it. A fairy shampoo. Yeah. Okay, well, the reason we are doing this special episode today, we've been talking about this for some time. We are doing a Britney Spears verse |
| 2:25.3 | episode. We have procured, I think, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, |
| 2:31.9 | eleven, twelve. Did I count correctly? There's 12 in this edit. |
| 2:35.9 | Okay, I can still count. Okay, so we have 12 different fragrances from the Britney Spears world. |
