Welcome to the perfume room.

This is going to be the solo episode that I promised you weeks ago.

So if you remember back in like November, December, I told you that there were two

solo episodes coming. One, recapping 24 and all of my favorite releases and discoveries,

et cetera, and then one looking ahead to 2025. Well, now here we are. It's like almost the end of

the month and time has gotten ahead of me. And in full

transparency, I actually did record an entire 2024 recap episode. But if you ever hate the

sound of your own voice, imagine being a podcast host. I was listening back to that episode

to edit it and I was just like, ugh. Like I just,

I don't know. I just didn't want to release it. So what I have decided is that I'm going to do a

24 recap best of post, if you care, on Substack, it'll be in front of a paid wall,

sharing all of my favorite launches and discoveries from the last year.

And I'll do an Instagram post too.

So if you don't want to read it, you can just look at the visuals and see who I picked.

This episode is a little bit crowdsourced.

I'm going to pull up the episode that I recorded last year around this time, where I

shared all of my predictions

for what I thought was coming in the yearhead that year being 2024. And we'll see which

of my predictions actually came true. Then I'm going to forecast where I think we are headed

for 2025. But first, my son of the day. So I was just gifted by the brand, Chris Collins' newest discovery kit.

And I think it's sold in Sephora.

I have to check.
