Summary
The legendary Charles Gross is today’s guest. With over 831K followers on TikTok alone, Charles has left an indelible mark on the Internet, covering everything from lifestyle, to fashion, to beauty… and he’s just getting started. He is as kind and warm as he is incisive, and first and foremost, he is a tastemaker (of course Charles was wearing Baccarat in like, Y2K, and of course his third word after 'Mama' and 'Dada' was 'Shalimar').
You’ll learn exactly what Charles smells like, what’s in the current rotation, his fave cheap thrill, his unwavering love for Flowerbomb, why Glossier You needs its own *TW,* and of course, the scent that got away. He also gets very candid about his journey as a creator and influencer, and how he’s navigated evolving as a person while being in the public eye. Plus Charles shares advice every content creator *NEEDS* to hear.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. My scent of the day today is Commodity Orris. If you did not have a chance to listen to last week's episode. This is, or should I say was, my favorite |
| 0:22.6 | discontinued fragrance. And Vic and Arcelanian, the CEO of Commodity, got word of this. He is also, |
| 0:30.1 | by the way, the first episode of the New Year. I'm very excited for that. He sent me a bottle. |
| 0:36.1 | And you might be like, Emma, you should not wear this. |
| 0:39.3 | You should savor it. |

| 1:26.4 | podcast helps you escape from whatever mundane |
| 1:29.5 | annoyances or serious issues that you may have going on and feels instead like a cozy |
| 1:34.9 | little respite. But I also do feel that if I do have this platform, it is my responsibility |
| 1:39.7 | to use it for good when I can. With that, I want to say, I don't know from where you are listening to this podcast. |
| 1:48.3 | I am in New York City and COVID is absolutely surging here again. |
| 1:53.8 | I am recording this on Friday, December 17th. |
| 1:56.5 | I want you guys to hear it from me as someone who is on the ground here |
