Welcome to Fragraphilia, 2025. Let's talk "less is more" which is what we're hoping for this year. How about we sit back, slow down a bit, and talk longer about the perfumes we really love? We're all getting tired out here jumping from new to newer thing. Save your top 10 of this and that and give us what you're wearing today and why. Churn and burn has us concerned!

Since we're sitting already, let's have a good round of The Game as well. Enjoy!

A very special episode with our dear friend and third mic from Shingle Springs, California, Scout Dixon West. Scout, as you well know by now, has released three of the most talked about perfumes this year and we were so excited to talk about the process of creating them. Get your cowboy boots ready and pour a tall one as we discuss all three fragrances, how they came to be, and which are most popular amongst delivery folks and HVAC repair people. We also ramble as expected on what we've been wearing, Scout's current want list, and why Jeff's teenage perfume choices were really cool and didn't lead to swirlies. Oh, and of course, The Game.

We’re a day late, and in the perfume collectors game, always a dollar short but here nonetheless. In this episode, we’re talking some of the latest new releases from Liis, Arquiste, Byredo, and Guerlain. We have some great listener emails where we try to give our thoughts on licked arms, first date perfumes, and the gray markets. Also, our featured collection this week comes from the new house of Jouissance Parfums, who are bringing powdery, vintage, and very high-minded sexy fragrances to the market. All that, and of course, The Game.

The long overdue second installment of Fragra-Files featuring the perfumes of Hedi Slimane's Celine. An incredible collection of extremely thoughtful and luxurious scents that are both as gorgeous as they are incredibly consistent with their through-line of orris, musk and soft woody notes. But who is the perfumer behind these compositions and why are they so focused on youthful (and slender) beauty in their inspirations? Well, we have our thoughts and discuss at length as we go through the entire collection that has become a true favorite of Fragraphilia.

• (00:00) - - Introduction

Lots of talk about tea, narcissus, and two brands we really like weaving in and out of this episode.

It's been another few weeks since our last episode but it's well worth the wait. Invading barbarians and pyromaniac cowgirls can rejoice because we are joined by a very special guest who won't be a stranger to many of you. You know her, you're charmed by her, and you're probably a little scared of her. Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome Shingle Springs very own, Scout Dixon West, who pops in for Scents of the Week and a special edition of The Game. So saddle up, horse girls and boys, and enjoy the ride.
