Summary

*I'M BAAAAAACK* It's another palate cleanser, a little amuse-bouche if you will... This week, it's just me and here what's on deck: a particular niche fragrance house that is simply blowing my mind, some recent sniffs that I. just. can't. quit, why compliments on fragrances are not good barometers on whether they're 'good' (unless the compliment is coming from inside the house), my favorites from Liquides Imaginaires, what I'm being for Halloween, and a piece of advice for all of you that you can do... LITERALLY RIGHT NOW. PSSST: I also announce the November Smell Club theme! 

Also fun little newness: I will now be linking out all the fragrances/products mentioned in episodes in the description.

This is for everybody who wanted this episode. Hey, I need to tell you about my son of the day today because I am

truly blown away.

0:38.0

I am wearing Joram Studio Gorsland.

0:40.7

And I cannot remember if I talked about this scent on the podcast before.

0:44.0

But it was one of the fragrances that I smelled when I was in L.A. a few weeks ago, I went to the Lucky Scent store, scent bar.

Shout out to Emmy, who works there if you are listening to this, because I said to

Emmy that I was really looking for something that was like Rudy and starchy and vegetal.
