Summary
Hayley Kiyoko, AKA “Lesbian Jesus,” as her fans adoringly call her, is in the Perfume Room today! This multi-hyphenate pop-star, advocate, dancer, actress, producer, director, and ultimately queer *icon*, has added one more notch to her belt: perfume (which we obviously chat all about)! We discuss everything from the smells of her first crushes, to her newly-public relationship, to her horoscope sign and whether Hue (said newly launched fragrance) is indeed an Aries scent, and of course, we discuss her highly-anticipated second album, Panorama, which drops next Friday (!) MARK YOUR CALS & PREGAME THE ALBUM WITH THIS DELIGHTFUL CONVO 😘

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. My center of the day today is eccentric molecules, |
| 0:15.4 | Accentric O2, and I have to say I am a new fan. Accentric molecules got got wind of the fact that I love Molecula 1 plus IRIS and they sent me the rest of their fragrances to check out. |
| 0:26.9 | So I have now tried and worn every single scent in the eccentric molecules line and O2 is very noteworthy. |
| 0:35.4 | I mean, to me it kind of smells smells like molecular 1 plus iris. There's |
| 0:38.7 | definitely that prominent iris note. However, I feel like it's a little bit sharper and it feels |
| 0:46.4 | like the dry down almost feels like in comparison where molecule 1 plus iris feels sort of powdery, |
| 0:52.7 | almost like ricey and a little bit creamy. |
| 0:55.9 | I would say that eccentric O2 feels almost like more leathery, a little bit more suede-like. |
| 1:01.3 | And I will say that I think the projection on eccentric O2 and the longevity is a little bit better. |
| 1:08.5 | I still love molecule 1 plus iris the most of all of the |
| 1:11.7 | eccentric molecules fragrances just because there's something about that opening that just like |
| 1:16.0 | touches my heart. But eccentric O2, when I smelled both wrists side by side like an hour and a |
| 1:22.4 | half later, yeah, O2 is a little bit stronger, I'll be honest. So some other notable fragrances |
| 1:27.4 | from the collection, |
| 1:28.7 | Ecentric O1, which is honestly also kind of similar to Eccentric O2 |
| 1:32.3 | in Molecula 1 plus Iris. |
| 1:33.9 | I would say the biggest differentiation is that there is a lemon note |
| 1:38.3 | and a, I think, pink pepper, I have to look, |
| 1:41.9 | but I feel like there's something peppery in eccentric |
| 1:44.3 | 01. So it really feels like a very balanced combination of Isoe super, lemon, and iris. |
| 1:53.4 | Another one that I really enjoyed because it was like this tart balsamic citrusy rose |
| 1:59.5 | was eccentric 04. So I'll just read you the notes that I wrote |
