There has been a gourmand awakening in our lives that involves Jelly Belly jellybeans, perfumes, and even a body butter. We're not sure what's going on but we're leaning into it. We also discuss a couple of perfumes we used to think were quite similar but realize we were way off. All that, a few movie references, and of course, The Game.

Back from a little break with lots to discuss. We go through some of the perfumes we've received recently from both brands and friends while bringing up some thoughts and theories on aroma-chemicals and potential trends. Thank goodness for Christina from Dry Down Diaries, this episode's benefactor, for spoiling us with such great samples. We also share a new line of room sprays that elevates home scents to a new level. Oh, and The Game as usual.

Changing up our habits this week by recording during the day as we adjust to a new schedule. In other words, we had to trade in our Manhattans for tea. In this episode, Jeff finally finds his magnolia scent, and we go through the discover set from Le PÈRE. Spoiler alert: We love it! We also rattle off what we've been wearing as we deal with the 100 degree weather here in Texas. Oh, and then The Game. Shout-outs to Lisa, Holly, Joseph, Tracy, and Brady.

From start to finish, perfume to perfume, this may be our most satisfying episode we've ever recorded. It's also longer than usual but every perfume we tried was a hit and our favorite was probably the last. Or, maybe it was the first because we finally added a bottle we've been talking about for months. Regardless, every one was a winner, even during The Game Special Request - What are your favorite goth and spooky perfumes? Email or DM us please.

Are there perfumes you'd want backup bottles of should they ever become discontinued or limited? Thank you, Listener Lisa, for the great question. We discuss a few we'd select and whether or not it's best to just let the past be the passed. We also ordered a few vintage classics that definitely didn't disappoint. Finally, Paraphrase has a new vanilla perfume being release in early July named Vanilla Virtu that has rocketed to the top of our vanilla chart. All that and The Game.

Now that we're here, let's talk about our latest pickups, what we've been wearing, and where we see things going with trends and collecting in 2026. We even manage to find a little time to get doomerist and a bit blasphemous. Oh, and a very strong round of The Game.

Just popping in for an extra episode that we decided to record on the fly. Luckily we were sent a wonderful package from our good friend Caitlin**, who spoiled Jane with a bottle from her want list and several samples for us to discuss on air. Oh yeah, and The Game too, where Jane decided bomb out her nose with one of her own entries.
