Do you like long, sometimes meandering conversations about perfume with plenty of sidetracks into movies, health, DJ web forums, and the relief and exuberance that comes from your rigidly red state finally turning blue after a historic mid-term election? Well, you're in luck because you get almost two hours of it here. We talk about a few new releases, the sculpted bottle heads of an artist led brand out of Barcelona, what we've been wearing, and the perfumes of woke 3.0. Oh, and of course,
The Game. Shoutouts:
