Lots of talk about tea, narcissus, and two brands we really like weaving in and out of this episode. The latter being St Rose, which continues to impress us, and a new-to-us brand, Pekji out of Turkey. We also share some thoughts on a handful of samples we tested out this past week including both Odile and Odette from Gumamina.

| 06 Oct 2023 | If It Wasn’t So Sticky I Would Wear It | 01:35:04 | |
We are back with another episode and you better believe, true form, that we faced some sort of obstacle in the lead up. This time a rickety old air conditioner unit that forced us out of our home for several days. Thank goodness that have perfumes, will travel. We made great use of our time at Jane's parents testing out samples for you all. This week, Penahligon's Potions and Remedies! We also discuss some new release news, share a handful of witchy October perfume selects, and run through the scents we've been wearing lately. Oh, yeah, and Babycat! Tune in for all of the above and another round of The Game where Jeff brings some smoky patchoulis and Jane goes forest floor green.

| 31 Jul 2024 | Fragra-Files 002: The House of Celine | 00:55:13 | |
The long overdue second installment of Fragra-Files featuring the perfumes of Hedi Slimane's Celine. An incredible collection of extremely thoughtful and luxurious scents that are both as gorgeous as they are incredibly consistent with their through-line of orris, musk and soft woody notes. But who is the perfumer behind these compositions and why are they so focused on youthful (and slender) beauty in their inspirations? Well, we have our thoughts and discuss at length as we go through the entire collection that has become a true favorite of Fragraphilia.

| 25 Aug 2023 | Is That A Fragrance or Have You Been Making Soup? | 01:18:21 | |
It's our longest episode yet, for better or worse, but things go deep when you start talking about disappointing new releases, the intoxicating and transformative sensations of testing Strangelove NYC all week, and how we benefit from each other's fondness of certain perfumes and scents. All that and a round of The Game featuring scents that conjure up witches brews, 80s sodas, and gym socks. Yes, you read that correctly, gym socks.

We're back, baby! It's so good to finally have time to sit down and share a few thoughts on what we've been wearing, sampling, and receiving lately. It's also time we shared some pointless asides like a brief journey down the butt rock bands rabbit hole of the mid 2000s, how a bank robber stumbled through our backyard, and the ups and downs of placing your child in daycare. It's a fun time to be alive! Special thanks to Arquiste, Maison d'Etto, and Libertine Fragrance for spoiling us recently with gifts and perfumes.

We’re a day late, and in the perfume collectors game, always a dollar short but here nonetheless. In this episode, we’re talking some of the latest new releases from Liis, Arquiste, Byredo, and Guerlain. We have some great listener emails where we try to give our thoughts on licked arms, first date perfumes, and the gray markets. Also, our featured collection this week comes from the new house of Jouissance Parfums, who are bringing powdery, vintage, and very high-minded sexy fragrances to the market. All that, and of course, The Game.

Guidance by Amouage - is it good or is it just pink?

| 22 Sep 2023 | It Gives Me Early 2010s Burlesque Vibes, D’Ya Know What I Mean? | 01:20:41 | |
Fresh from our visit to New York, we discuss our experiences shopping for fragrances, the scents we encountered on the street, and the dank clouds of cannabis smoke that seem to be everywhere. Even the rats were stoned! Join us as we talk about the favorites we sampled, the few we brought home, and a couple perfumes we wish we would've purchased as well. That’s life in the big city, I suppose. Also, our most recent Scents of the Week and a few ideas on what’s to come in future episodes including a full review of Babycat, its potential mates available here in the US, and a full on showdown with the smoky vanillas currently filling up our want-list. If you have suggestions for similarly styled vanillas, please send them to hello@fragraphilia.com. And finally, The Game, as Jane worries that maybe we like too many of our choices and we talk about plans for an all celebrity fragrances as well as a designer brands-only editions.

| 18 Apr 2025 | Hug Your Dogs | 01:21:09 | |
An episode recorded with a heavy heart as we had to say goodbye to Jane's chihuahua, Jimmy Wilkins, who lived life with gusto for 17 years, most of which were in Jane's lap, arms, or bedside. We are absolutely heartbroken but extremely grateful for the years he blessed us with his giant personality and even bigger smile. Rest in power, Jimmy (2008 - 2025). To get us through the evening, we decided to pour a couple of proper gin martinis, grab some samples for The Game, and take a tour of some of our favorite white florals from our collection. After all, perfume has that wonderful way of bringing comfort, liveliness, and nostalgia, which is a big reason a lot of us enjoy it so much.

We cover it all in this Black Friday episode (that doesn't really include anything for BF). We talk Dusita, Trudon, and whether or not Future Society is the Theranos of fragrance. We also deal with a crying baby, annoying smoke detectors, and share a couple of delicious dirty martinis. Finally, we try to answer a great listener question but mostly end up talking about buyers remorse from a recent purchase. Listen in for all the above and an "oud-y fruity" version of The Game!

Halloween may be over but those spooky sensations have followed us well into November as we throw up the devil horns and discuss a few perfumes inspired by the darker sides of life including De Profundis by Serge Lutens and Hexensalbe by Stora Skuggan.

| 19 Jan 2024 | This Scent Smells Like Bjork’s Speaking Voice Sounds | 01:28:29 | |
We start this one a bit off the rails with talk on why you make an Old Fashioned with sugar cubes, a mysterious scent wafting about in our home, and an experience with a haunted dog. Now that's what we call perfume podcasting! Once we settle into the actual program, we discuss Hiram Green's new fragrance announcement, baby perfumes, and what we're in the mood for by way of scentwear right now. Plus, we share our wonderment of Fragrantica's Instagram clone, Fragram. Oh, and we debate the idea of a peanut inspired perfume as it resurfaces unsavory peanut breath memories from Jane's childhood. Highlight from the Game - Find out which fragrance smells just like Bjork speaks in that late 80s video clip with her dismantling a TV. You know the one... Here

| 08 Sep 2023 | No, No... It's Not Junk, It's Creative. | 01:31:21 | |
Did we ramble on way too long in this episode? Absolutely! Is it jam-packed, filled minute to minute with informative and gripping content? Debatable... but we had fun recording it. One thing's for sure, and you know it's always a safe bet, is that we bring up fragrances from DS & Durga, Byredo, Arquiste, and of course, Ex Nihilo but in between talk about getting weird in the studio, 60-something art witches, and covering up cigar smoke with dryer sheets. We also discuss our favorite brands, a handful we're really crushing on right now, and a few that maybe need to step it up a bit. Plus, some new releases we're excited about and some major pleasers during The Game.

| 13 Oct 2023 | Fragra-Files 001: The Fragrances of Aesop | 00:53:08 | |
Welcome to our first installment of Fragra-Files, a new series in which we dedicate a full episode to focus on a specific house, note, guide, or anything else fragrance related that requires a bit more time, research, and discussion than available in our typical episodes. Our first subject is the house of Aesop and their wonderful collection of fragrances that live up perfectly to their iconic beauty brand's style and ethos. As listeners of the show can attest from previous episodes, we are big fans of their 2017 release, Hwyl, and through testing the full line thanks to our region's Aesop representative, it's definitely not the only one. Listen in as we tour through each fragrance, offering our thoughts and opinions along the way.
Please feel free to email us at hello@fragraphilia.com - Send us questions, comments, or recommendations. We can be found on TikTok and Instagram @fragraphilia As explained in the episode, several bottles of the collection were gifted to us for review. All opinions and thoughts are our own and never influenced by anyone else despite their kindness of affording us such an opportunity. | |||
| 22 Mar 2024 | They Do Something To Your Brain Like Drugs | 01:22:23 | |
We're back again to talk about Acne Studio's new perfume announcement, how much we really like Régime des Fleurs latest Fait Main release, Green Vanille, and then we stumble down the rabbit hole of Matiere Premiere in an almost Fragra-Files episode style rundown of each scent. Why? Because we've been noticing some mixed feelings on the brand both online and in our DMs. Naturally, we decided to go through each one for our, and hopefully your, amusement. Get that wantlist ready! Join us also for our Highlights from the Tray featuring a few new perfumes and a very light and pleasing round of The Game which gets interrupted by a heated debate about who could be the mysterious perfumer behind Celine.
