I Need My Crayons, My Binders, and My Serge Lutens

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. We also marvel over the big time bold move of Melanie Martinez's follow up to the wildly successful Cry Baby as well as a walk-through of the latest from Thin Wild Mercury.

It's a jam-packed episode with lots of scent layering, woo-girl admiration, and a cocktail-influenced real-time purchase of a perfume featured in The Game.
