| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. In case you missed it last week, I did my first ever |
| 0:15.8 | Substack podcast episode. It's a 15-minute solo episode, and this one is exclusive for paid subscribers. |
| 0:22.7 | In this solo episode, I take you through a handful of standouts among hundreds that I |
| 0:27.4 | have smelled in the last, like, month or two. And if you are not a paid subscriber and you |
| 0:32.4 | want to see the list of what I discussed, you can. I did post a picture of all the fragrances |
| 0:37.2 | mentioned on Instagram so you can still I did post a picture of all the fragrances mentioned on Instagram, |
| 0:39.0 | so you can still check them out independently at your leisure. You just won't be able to |
| 0:43.0 | hear my thoughts. And yes, as you will see, I did indeed talk about the new Francis Kurchin-Diore |
| 0:50.5 | Savage Flanker. This is not the 2024 I predicted predicted, but perhaps it's the 2024 that I needed. |
| 0:57.9 | And because it's been a few weeks since I've even mentioned it, a little note on substack, |

| 1:20.8 | And if you are not a paid subscriber, I try and always put a five to 10-minute preview so that you can at least watch some of the video. So if you are not |
| 1:29.0 | already subscribed to the perfume room substack, pause this episode. Actually, you don't even have to. |
| 1:33.8 | We can multitask. Head to perfumroom.substack.com and you will receive even more bonus content |
| 1:40.3 | from your favorite guests of perfume room, more musings and ramblings from me, |
| 1:45.3 | and video content whenever there is video content to share. Oh, and I also share even earlier |
| 1:50.7 | access for smell club tickets to paying subscribers of the substack. Perfumeroom.substack.com. |
| 1:57.6 | My scent of the day today is Sontal calling from X. Nihilo. You already know my thoughts on this |
| 2:02.0 | scent. It was an instant love for me. I have talked about it here before. It is the coziest, |
| 2:06.8 | milkiest iris sandalwood combo there ever was, but with some gently piercing sort of pointy |
