How do you create the smell of fear? We have just the person on to ask! Liam Findlay of Aroma Prime talks about how scents are used in immersive and entertainment applications like theme parks, amusement attractions, and museums to enhance the experience and shift the vibes – anything from stoking anticipation before a roller coaster to recreating a lifelike olfactory environment of a Viking hut.

The best compliments are ones where you feel understood, known, and sometimes maybe a little too seen. This is where fragrance serves as a homing beacon. Here is a fun little ep about the most memorable scent compliments we've received, as well as copious encouragement to compliment other peoples' fragrances. Why? Because it's nice and makes people feel nice, and sometimes it's just nice to smell nice things and say that out loud. [What we smell like today: Mind Games Caissa, D.S. & Durga Ma...

We are exploring "beast mode" fragrances as a concept, as a way of wearing scent, and as a trigger. It could very well be the antithesis of summer fragrances, just happening to have a resurgence in relevance as summer approaches. While we don't believe in seasonal scents, summer tends to have a hold on fragrance wearers' perceptions of the existence of summer scents as a concept. With respect to that, we discuss our favorite scents that go as long as the days are this time of year. [What we smel...

All this chit-chat about quiet luxury is skipping fragrance, which one could argue has always been quiet luxury. Your hosts go on about what luxury is now, what kind of fragrances and scent notes narrate the perception of luxury, and agree to disagree about what luxury even is, before eventually agreeing after all. Does it matter what volume you luxuriate at? If discussions about money and spending annoy you, this episode is... loaded. [What we smell like today: Prada Paradoxe, Atum Wanted] Find...

We said it once (one episode ago) and we will say it again: it is going to be a Gourmand Year. But on its way there, the gateway to gourmand will be a renaissance of Vanilla™ entering the fragrance matrix. This episode contains our vanilla-scented conspiracy theories and otherwise evidence of the impending Vanilla-ssance. Also, we discuss at length the second coming of D.S.&Durga Pistachio, The Tom Ford Lost Cherry Trilogy, and what even is a modern gourmand anyways. [What we smell like toda...
