Fragraphilia - The Podcast

In our first installment of Fragraphilia & Friends, we decide to bring in some high level sophistication, grace, and the ability the properly pronounce French words. We proudly welcome the wonderful Tracy Wan to the podcast.

Throughout the episode we discuss Tracy's backstory, her upbringing, perfume-y fruits and stinky food. We also bond over her affinity for gauzy lens cinema and our shared love of Hitchcock films.

Oh, and of course, she joins us for a pretty strong round of The Game. Watch out wantlist!

Remember, friends - "You already have a no, so you could have a yes"

If you don't already follow Tracy, which we're sure you do, we'll post these here just in case...

What is Fragraphilia - The Podcast?

Fragraphilia is the passion project of Jeff and Jane Dashley where they explore, express, and extrapolate as much as they can from the often mysterious and always magical world of perfume and fragrance.

Focusing more on luxury and niche fragrances, Jeff and Jane discuss what they've been wearing each week, news and trending topics that has caught their attention, as well as any impending new release that has them excited to try. In the final segment, they will each pull three fragrances from their sample collection for the other to blind test and offer their unadulterated opinion through a series of questions before each perfume is revealed.

About the hosts - Jane Dashley is a painter and artist with a long history in fashion blogging as Sea of Shoes. Jeff Dashley is a freelance web developer and designer. They live in the Dallas, Texas area with their son and three dogs.
