This week, we’re joined by Benjamin Schmeiser, the mastermind behind That Cologne Guy on YouTube, a fragrance review channel that ended in 2023 but made a fresh comeback in 2024. But that’s not all—he’s also a Professor at Illinois State University, currently on sabbatical (which apparently, isn’t just a long vacation—who knew?). We’ll break down the myths about sabbaticals, chat about his upcoming book Las variedades del mundo hispano, and of course, cook up a freestyle song inspired by it all. Will it smell like success or a lyrical disaster?
