Ever wonder how the hell a perfume is conceived of, composed, and created? This week the Nose Candy gals are offering a peek behind the scented curtain courtesy of DJ, writer, and genius perfumer Maxwell Williams! The creator of UFO Parfums joins team Nose Candy to chat about everything from Santorum scents to bug juice perfume to stage crew frags to fork and knife gourmands. These three marketing matchmakers are putting their heads together to answer the tough questions, namely: was Louis XIV the original gender warrior? How painful is butthole electrolysis? Are rim jobs gender agnostic? Is The Rectum a Grave? Whether you're a straight guy that douches or a gay guy that doesn't, this episode is one hot milk injection you will not want to miss!

Want even more from LA niche perfume OG Maxwell Williams? Follow @ufoparfums on IG, twitter and tiktok, catch their scent installation at FWB Festival in August, go run and see their two-person exhibition with Sean Raspet at Olfactory Art Keller in NYC in November, and keep your eyes peeled for two new UFO Parfums frags coming out in Fall. We smelled them (jealous?) and they go CRAZY.

This week ladies are spray-tanned, guru-canned and taking the stand (with perfume on hand) to select the Scent of the Summer. The gals showed up to Nose Candy HQ in matching gay guy uniforms with only one thing on the brain: beach season! That means nonbinary frags, a Blue Crush perfume, and a sunscreen standby with notes of, you guessed it, bug spray. Grab your towel and slip into your slides because this is one wet and wild ep that you won't want to miss!

Pull out your thesaurus and moisten your quill because this week Maddie and Chloe are joined by former New York Times perfume critic Chandler Burr to discuss the language of scent. The author sat down with the Nose Candy gals to talk about (how to talk about) everything from synthetic molecules to Joan Didion to Abstract Expressionism to Yankee Candles. Looking for a perfume that smells like a David Hockney painting? What about a Laura Ashley duvet cover? Razorblade rose petals? Grab your scented notebooks fragheads because this is a lesson in perfume rhetoric with one of the best to ever do it!

Want more from the writer of the New Yorker's definitive piece on scent Chandler Burr? Go run and buy "The Perfect Scent," "The Emperor of Scent" (about Luca Turin), and his novel "You or Someone Like You." Also!

This week the Nose Candy gals are giving you a sniff behind the scented curtain to see what happens when three divas stop being polite and start getting real. This is the Nose Candy E! True Hollywood Story and who better to join Maddie and Chloe for this heart wrenching docu-drama than podcaster, writer, cultural historian and all around glamour puss Tierney Finster?! The three ladies sat down to discuss the perfumes that scented the motion picture soundtracks of their lives which means bisexual smells, hoochie perfumes, and performance artist frags. Want to smell like Samantha's beach house in the Sex and the City movie? What about Jennifer Aniston's shabby chic slipcover? Is your sig scent more haunted doll house or Bruce Webber centerfold? Whether you're ordering Pink Dot on your parent's credit card, playing doctor at all girls summer camp, or huffing vanilla bug spray, remember: there are true sides to every story.
