October 18, 2024Why Laundry Smells So Good with Perfumer Stephen Nicoll
International Flavors & Fragrances master perfumer Stephen Nicoll talks about a side of the fragrance industry that doesn’t get a lot of publicity: scenting household products. He explains how he creates fragrances for fabric detergents, cleaning sprays, and dryer sheets; what encapsulating a scent does for its longevity; why Americans like the smell of apple pie; which aromas connote cleanliness around the world; and why people enjoy the “hot metal” scent that gets released during ironing. This podcast has a new intro, and the interview originally aired in 2019. We'll be back on Wednesday with all-new content!

October 09, 2024Ep. 551: Skincare Skin, Naked Lashes & the Week’s Beauty News
Jess & Jenn don’t believe the reports that mascara is becoming less popular. Other things we’re contemplating this week: the whimsical beauty at Paris Fashion Week; whether “skincare skin” is the new no-makeup makeup; what Oak Essentials stands for and if it will make you want to buy a horse; how to apply lotion to your own back; and which setting spray has the best skin-like finish. Plus, beauty founder Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye offers words of advice after her company, Ami Colé, earns a L’Oréal investment and Jess reveals the scents she selected for Moda Operandi’s new fragrance discovery set.

October 02, 2024Ep. 550: Baby Hippos, Body Horrors & The Week’s Beauty News
Do you know someone who looks different since they’ve been talking a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic or Wegovy? Jenn & Garrett know a few, and they need to discuss. Jenn does a sniff test of Glossier’s two new perfumes, and we’re also talking about Moo Deng blush, Demi Moore in The Substance, the woman who died from a liquid BBL, and a supplement designed to manage the health and beauty side effects of GLP-1s. Plus, Jenn raises a wand to a new mascara that doubles as a lash-lengthening serum (and actually works) and Garrett raises a wand to a laundry detergent and linen spray that will…help you get your beauty sleep!

The gang’s all here for a special episode! We’re going to catch up after the summer, and then each of us will “Show & Tell” a recent beauty discovery. We also have a passionate debate about the difference between radiance and luminosity (not the same things!), and we answer a bunch of listener questions, including how to prep your skin for big events, where we had our first bylines, and which fragrance we’d wear the rest of our lives if we could only chose one.
