30. A Conversation with Fragrantica’s Srebecca (w/ Musician Sasha Spielberg)

12/28/21 • 61 min

It's *THE* big reveal. Musician and fellow fragrance lover Sasha Spielberg (AKA Buzzy Lee) is today’s guest and we vulnerably and generously REVEAL OUR FRAGRANTICA ALIASES (followed of course by dramatic readings of our most noteworthy reviews). Sasha shares the fragrance combo that gets her endless compliments—even from people who are triple-masked, her strict 3-month fragrance rule (and the subsequent one that changed it all), and why attaching memories to scents is not only method, but masochistic. You’re gonna wanna follow along with the ‘frags mentioned’ list for this one. ALSO!! Buzzy Lee is going on tour with Haim in 2022! Link below to check out dates and locations near you!

The legendary Charles Gross is today’s guest. With over 831K followers on TikTok alone, Charles has left an indelible mark on the Internet, covering everything from lifestyle, to fashion, to beauty... and he’s just getting started. He is as kind and warm as he is incisive, and first and foremost, he is a tastemaker (of course Charles was wearing Baccarat in like, Y2K, and of course his third word after 'Mama' and 'Dada' was 'Shalimar').

You’ll learn exactly what Charles smells like, what’s in the current rotation, his fave cheap thrill, his unwavering love for Flowerbomb, why Glossier You needs its own *TW,* and of course, the scent that got away. He also gets very candid about his journey as a creator and influencer, and how he’s navigated evolving as a person while being in the public eye. Plus Charles shares advice every content creator *NEEDS* to hear.

31. New Year, New(ish) Brand: The COMModity Re-launch (w/ COMModity CEO Vicken Arslanian)

COMModity, your fav once-defunct brand, is back and *thriving* thanks to RE-Founder, Vicken Arslanian (who also happens to be the CEO and Founder of Europerfumes). In this ep, we discuss *why* COMModity, how an initially ignored LinkedIn message led to this lightning in a bottle (pun intended) opportunity, the new ScentSpace Exploration Kit, Vicken’s personal faves (and least faves), the draconian process of deciding which archived scents got the ax (cough cough: Orris), that time Vicken was the Cinderella of QVC, his $1.5M reminder to keep going, and most importantly, Vicken makes me a promise for which I need you all to bear witness.
