| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. I'm so excited. This is a solo episode long overdue. I feel like we need some one-on-one time. I want to catch up with you guys, tell you what's going on in my life, answer some of the topics and questions that you guys wrote in. And you'll probably just hear |
| 0:24.8 | sort of my train of thought, ramblings about different things in the TikTok landscape, |
| 0:30.5 | perfume landscape, trends, my life, yada, yada. But let's start how we always do, which is with |
| 0:36.3 | my scent of the day today i am wearing |
| 0:38.5 | a brand new scent that i'm not even sure is for sale in the u.s market yet i am wearing okur which |
| 0:44.0 | actually as i say that out loud i realize sounds like okr um it is not a cardi b scent it is o |
| 0:50.2 | e a u cur c o e uR by Toma de Monaco. |
| 0:55.0 | And I have to be honest, Lucky Sense sent me a roller ball of this as I was in the middle of finalizing |
| 1:01.0 | the scents for the boozy September smell club, which stay tuned. Tickets will be on sale any second |
| 1:08.0 | now. But I smelled it. I got a Baccarat Rouge vibe and I immediately |

| 1:17.4 | gives me that very distinct smell that I only can liken to the smell of sticking your nose |

| 1:29.4 | some combination of ambergris, saffron, and ethylmaltoll, and in sort of all of the Baccarat |
| 1:36.8 | derivative fragrances, all these things that I feel like frequently get compared to Baccarat, |
| 1:41.6 | even if they are different, I feel like what the thing is that |
| 1:45.2 | people are noticing that's similar is that sort of sweet crayon accord. Shout out to sniff |
| 1:51.8 | fragrances for creating sweet ash. Smells very similar to Baccarat. I also do not like this scent, |
| 1:58.3 | but I feel like the name encapsulates exactly what it smells like. |
| 2:02.8 | It's ashy and it's sweet. And while that's a very cool concept, I just don't want to smell like that. |
| 2:12.4 | Anyway, I felt like I had sort of written this one off too quickly. So I put it back on today. And I have to say, I absolutely love the opening. In the opening, I get these really distinct, beautiful notes |
| 2:22.0 | of peach, asmanthus, and rose, and it's very opulent and luxurious. However, unfortunately |
