0:00.0	Welcome to the perfume room. Today I'm wearing like seven different scents, all from the one, the only, the ever talented Marissa Zappas. Why you might ask, aside from the fact that they are all beautiful, it is because
0:21.8	I am in the process of curating the June Smell Club sample pack, and the theme is none other than a
0:28.9	perfumer spotlight on Marissa herself. This month will be smelling five of her fragrances,
0:34.1	plus a bonus sixth perfume room smell club exclusive before it goes on sale on Lucky
0:41.0	scent or her website. So yeah, I'm just figuring out which five are going to make the pack.
0:46.2	And as always, smell club will be the last week of the month and it's like this every month.
0:51.1	There will be multiple sessions to choose from. So hopefully if you are interested in this,
0:55.0	you can find one that works with your time zone and your schedule. And unless you plan to source
0:59.7	these fragrances on your own, you just have to live somewhere where Lucky Scent delivers. And a little
1:06.2	note on that, if you've seen on the podcast's Instagram page, which if you're not following, why the heck

1:24.6	members as well as anyone who has asked to be on the email list.
1:28.6	So if June's smell club with Marissa Zappas is exciting to you and you want to ensure your
1:33.8	spot, definitely message me and I will make sure to add you to that list.
1:38.6	Okay, some fun personal news this week is that I am attending the Fragrance Foundation Awards,
1:43.7	aka the Fifees. I am so excited. I'm very stressed, though, because I don't have a dress yet. For context, today is Monday. The event is Thursday. This is not for lack of trying. I have tried on like 30 different dresses. And let me just tell you, if you wear the same size on top as you do on bottom, God bless you. You're in
2:01.5	the lucky sperm club. Okay, that is a phrase I've never said before and I will never say again
2:07.5	unless it is specifically about secretion magnifique. But last night, I couldn't figure out what to
2:13.1	watch on TV. I have no idea why or how I landed on this particular documentary, but I found some
2:19.8	random documentary about the rise and fall of Elliott Spitzer, as told by the very unbiased
2:26.7	Elliot Spitzer. And one of his former colleagues was being interviewed and was like,
