Summary
It's *THE* big reveal. Musician and fellow fragrance lover Sasha Spielberg (AKA Buzzy Lee) is today’s guest and we vulnerably and generously REVEAL OUR FRAGRANTICA ALIASES (followed of course by dramatic readings of our most noteworthy reviews). Sasha shares the fragrance combo that gets her endless compliments—even from people who are triple-masked, her strict 3-month fragrance rule (and the subsequent one that changed it all), and why attaching memories to scents is not only method, but masochistic. You’re gonna wanna follow along with the ‘frags mentioned’ list for this one. ALSO!! Buzzy Lee is going on tour with Haim in 2022! Link below to check out dates and locations near you!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. Today we are live from Texas. I am recording this opening in my boyfriend's childhood bedroom. There is a loud AC unit that his neighbors have |
| 0:22.1 | outside of his bedroom window. So I am like sitting under his bed recording this opening for you |
| 0:26.9 | guys. I feel like wherever I record this podcast, I am always like in a weird corner or crevice or |
| 0:32.5 | closet. Anyway, I packed two cents for this trip. I literally packed the night before at midnight and just threw two samples into my makeup bag. |
| 0:41.6 | And they were Dias and DERga Rose Atlantic. |
| 0:44.2 | Remember when I was saying Dias and Durga? |
| 0:45.8 | Oof. |
| 0:46.7 | And Matias by 1509 Oil. |
| 0:50.3 | So my send of the day today is 1509 Oil Matias, which is so appropriate given that today's |
| 0:57.7 | guest is Sasha Spielberg and she waxes poetic about her love for this brand. |
| 1:04.3 | Obviously, after this episode, I ordered the scent Sophia, which is what Sasha had been |
| 1:09.9 | wearing. |
| 1:15.6 | And the founder, Sophia herself, graciously sent me samples of all of the other sense in the collection as well. |
| 1:17.6 | And I love Matthias. |
| 1:20.6 | It has a sage base, so there's something slightly more aromatic and crisp than you'll find |
| 1:25.6 | in the other sense, which of course are also gorgeous. |
| 1:28.3 | And it just feels a little almost like suede, leatherish. |
| 1:32.3 | I don't know, I'm just, I love the sage in it. |
| 1:34.3 | And again, it's one of those scents that you might not detect on your own wrist, but it is a total compliment getter. |
| 1:41.3 | We saw some of our friends out here and they could not stop telling me how good |
| 1:47.2 | the perfume was. Then they said because I picked up their cat that their cat smelled like me. |
| 1:52.0 | So everything that Sasha says in this episode about this magical oil is 100% true can verify. |
