  • Post-Election Hangover
    It's been one helluva week, folks, so let's chat perfume. This week, I'm reviewing Girl of Now, tipping my hat to young ladies who have better taste in fragrances than I did at their age, and discussing fragrances designed to smell like a bookstore and jazz club.

  • New Podcast Alert: Savoir Shade
    No, Pinot & Perfume isn’t going anywhere. I just wanted to let you know that I just launched a new podcast with my friend, Jenna Broughton, called Savoir Shade: An Emily in Paris Recap. Each week, we recap an episode of Emily in Paris, relishing in the unrealistic storylines and vapid plot lines. It’s a lot of fun, so tune in! It is available everywhere you listen to podcasts.

  • Post-Halloween Hangover
    What's up all you ghouls, goblins, and freaks, did you have a wonderful Halloween? Mine was mediocre, just like this episode (they can't all be winners). This week, I'm discussing an unfortunate incident during my Halloween morning run, reviewing Shalimar Souffle d'Oranger, and talking about a new fragrance and candle line launched by none other than Sir Anthony Hopkins himself.

  • It's Halloween!
    Technically, it's the week BEFORE Halloween, but this is the OFFICIAL Halloween episode of Pinot & Perfume. In this episode, I am reviewing Black Phantom by Kilian, shitting on well-loved children's movies from the 80s and 90s, and discussing two Fall/Halloween collections from indie perfumers.

  • Eternity for Women Smells Like Pure Evil
    Hashtag not-so-humblebrag alert! This week, I talk about the child-like excitement of winning a contest that FragranceNet hosted, scoring YSL Libre and Maison Margiela's Jazz Club for a steal, and the perfume that knocked Victoria's Secret Rapture out of its spot as the only fragrance I will ever say is objectively bad (spoiler alert: it's in the title). I also review Tenue de Soirée by Annick Goutal, a new startup that aims to take the pretentiousness out of buying fragrance, and a charming op-ed about Flower by Kenzo.

    Helllooooo!!! This week, I talk about really leaning into my basic bitch tendencies, penchant for candy-sweet perfumes, and why I had to break up with Shaghaf Oud. I also discuss Wisconsin's signature scent (yes, the state) and an actual perfume created for a Samsung washing machine.

  • Who the F*** is David Dobrik?
    This week, I am asking the tough questions: why didn't I notice the Gucci Guilty my husband wore on our outing the other night? Why does Fragrantica's website look like it was designed by a hyperactive child in 1997? Who the f*** is David Dobrik? I also share whether or not I think Shalimar Souffle Intense EDP is the type of scent to get you pregnant and how the fragrance industry has shifted to a digital-first approach during the COVID-19 pandemic.
