Summary
Two perfumeheads walk into a bar and...
Liz Renstrom—Perfume Room regular, photographer of our generation, and the genius behind @basenote_bitch (the ultimate fragrance nostalgia account)—dropped by my apartment last week with some shiny new gems in her collection and then naturally, raided my (newly organized!) perfume wardrobe. Be a fly on the wall for our chaotic good nez-à -nez.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. This week, I have a fun little palette cleanser for you. I am joined by my longtime friend and regular of perfume room at this point, Liz Rundstrom, aka Face No Bitch. Now, Liz |
| 0:22.5 | needs no introduction, especially if you are a longtime listener of perfume room, but I'm going to |
| 0:27.7 | give her one anyway. Professionally, Liz is one of the most in-demand editorial photographers |
| 0:32.8 | and photo editors working today. She is a true generational talent, a photographer, creative director, |
| 0:38.9 | and visual storyteller, and whether it's portraits, still life, or commercial work, Liz |
| 0:43.4 | brings her signature style that I would best describe as vibrant, maximalist, and playfully absurd. |
| 0:49.7 | Her work is nostalgic, and it's funny, in a way that invites all of us to be in on the joke or the |
| 0:55.9 | reference, which is something that you definitely feel with her fragrance alter ego, |

| 1:18.6 | lifestyle choice, and ultimately the essence of all of us who wore them. |
| 1:24.2 | Pereglase, K1, Ferenheit, Pink sugar, Georgio. It's all in the BasinoteBitch project, which you can find |
| 1:32.8 | at basnotepbitch.com. Liz and I both have some fun, new exciting additions to our collections |
| 1:37.8 | since we last spoke. And also, you'll hear in this episode, I got a whole perfume wardrobe, |
| 1:42.9 | which Liz raids and picks |
| 1:44.2 | out some stuff that she is interested in smelling. And that is what you will hear today. |
| 1:50.4 | Where does two gals who love perfume and want to gab about it? |
| 1:55.3 | Before we dive into this week's episode, a quick thank you to this month's sponsor, Goldfield |
| 2:00.3 | and Banks. Goldfield and |
| 2:02.4 | Banks is a luxury fragrance brand that showcases Australia's native botanicals with a touch |
