If hearing the words Malibu Musk, Pear Glace, Cucumber Melon, Country Apple, and Sun-Ripened Raspberry make you feel some type of way, this episode is for you. Base Note Bitch is the IG account unlocking your happiest and cringiest scent memories alike. Through her quippy photography and descriptions, Liz Renstrom, the mastermind behind it all -- perfectly encapsulates the people, time, and places of these nostalgic fragrances.

In this ep, we discuss how the 90s and early-aughts were the *American Pie generation,* and thus every teen scent was subsequently created/worn with one goal [getting laid], what edible perfumes actually taste like (*cough cough* looking at you Jessica Simpson Dessert), the '90s canons that would still be hits today and our memories associated with them, horse girl frags ~n OtHeR TinGz~, how Limited Too is the OG Brandi Melville, how to actually find legitimate vintage fragrances on the Internet, what makes a perfume smell like sex, the art of *dabbing,* and I smell Secretions Magnifiques for the first (and last) time.
