Summary

Wouldn't you know it-- today is World Smell and Taste Day, and to pay it proper homage, we're joined by the incredible Aromatherapist/Smell Trainer, and host of An Aromatic Life podcast, Frauke Galia. Frauke explains what smell training is and how it works, we discuss the ugly step-sisters anosmia and parosmia, how LAVENDER IS A LIE!! (ok I'm *somewhat* pushing my own agenda here), how the term 'aromatherapy' has been dragged by MLM girlies you went to HS with, and how you can incorporate scent into your everyday life to heighten levels of overall well-being.


FRAGS MENTIONED:

The Zoo Everlasting, Raymond Matts Maiaday

Okay, I'm sorry, I can't stop, but I just got finally, like, good monitoring headphones,

0:20.0

which means like you can hear yourself.

0:22.3

And now I'm pretending that I'm in a sound booth at a recording studio.

0:25.8

And so even though I know that I need to do this, this is like my 20th take because I keep

0:29.9

hearing my voice and then I get really excited and I'm like, you know, you know what you want to say.

0:45.5

But then I just hear me, maybe I should just include it because I'm like really ADD right now and I can't stop pretending that I am.

0:52.6

Some weird in between of Lincoln Park, Billy Ray Cyrus, Tina Turner, and Elvis Presley.

0:54.7

Okay, let me be serious for a second.

0:59.7

My scent of the day today is kerosene, unknown pleasures.

1:03.1

Like, literally, these are pleasures unknown.

1:04.5

Take me to church.

1:05.5

I love this.

1:07.7

I'm smelling it right now.

1:10.8

It's so lemony and sweet. I get lemon balanced with these amazing warm notes of coconut. I feel like there's a little bit of caramel in there too. I'm going to look up the notes. Hold on. By the way, when I first joined Fragantica, I couldn't stop saying Fragantica. I don't know why, but like, fragrantica just was not intuitive to me.

1:29.0

That is neither here nor there. Okay, so the notes are lemon, caramel, vanilla, pedigraine,

1:35.6

bergamot, honey, and tonca. And my God, it smells like all of those things. This is definitely

1:42.3

just like a beautiful gourmet. You know, it's really

1:44.2

interesting. So I actually got this a while ago in a bundle of like a lot of other things in a

1:50.8
