| 0:00.0 | As promised, please enjoy part two of the holiday gift guide episode with the creator of Black Girl smell good, Maya Nicole. |
| 0:19.7 | So let's do a little gift specific. What do you think is the |
| 0:23.6 | safest blind buy for someone who maybe doesn't know that much about who the person they're |
| 0:28.7 | gifting to, like what they like, whatever. They just are like, I want to get something that's just |
| 0:32.4 | like going to be good. I feel like basic musk sense tend to please everyone because it's just kind of middle of the road. |
| 0:41.4 | It smells like you. |
| 0:42.9 | So if you don't like, it's your natural smell. |
| 0:44.8 | I'm only going to enhance your natural smell. |
| 0:47.3 | So or like in Broxon-based sense. |
| 0:50.1 | So Julie with a toly or one that I've been loving, Ellis Brooklyn Super Amber, I feel like they're hard to hate. Like, what is there not to like about them? Right. And so if I'm going, I don't know who I'm gifting, I tend to stick to like soft musk or a very, very light floral, something like that. But those two seem to be winners.

| 1:28.7 | favorite scent you've ever smelled, like I can't see someone like smelling a citrus scent and being |
| 1:32.5 | like, oh, awful. |
| 1:34.1 | Yeah. |
| 1:35.0 | I feel like at the very least, you'll think like, okay, this is enjoyable. |
| 1:38.5 | Even if it's not your favorite, it'll be enjoyable. |
| 1:41.3 | You can't go wrong with a good, with a good citrus. |
| 1:44.6 | And with that said, I have one that I think is really, if you are interested in a citrus, |
| 1:50.4 | regardless of whether it's this person's genre or not, I can't imagine anybody like having any |
| 1:55.6 | aversion to this scent. |
| 1:56.7 | And that is citrus grandis from Chris Collins. |
| 2:01.8 | Have you smelled that one? |
| 2:03.1 | I have his discovery, sir. |
