  • Smells Like: Sh*t

    Have you ever sampled a whiff of your own BO… and enjoyed it? Or perhaps some of the more litter-y notes of the cat variety? No shade, says Arabelle Sicardi, longtime writer, investigator, and expert conveyor of fragrance, author of The House of Beauty (out now!), and creator of the scent-centered creative collective Perfumed Pages. They chat with Asia about how their dad basically kicked off their life in perfumery by water-boarding them — with scent! Arabelle dishes about their obsession with orange blossom, deep vanilla, and also the finer scent palate required to appreciate the musk of the civet cat’s perineal glands that shapes so many beloved, classic perfumes. Thankfully, eos Pumpkin Chai is a reminder that not every unexpected scent has to be divisive. It's a richer, spicier take on pumpkin that smells nothing like the overly sweet versions you might expect.

  • Smells Like: First Class

    Come on in babes, make yourself at home and make sure to stow your trays away in their upright position before takeoff. Champagne? This week, Asia welcomes legendary it girl and fashion editor and celebrity stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson to talk all things olfactory in the world of luxury travel and first class energy. Naturally, the eos Vanilla Cashmere trifecta comes along for the ride because first class is always better when it's layered. And she should know... Terminal 8 at JFK American Airlines is basically her second home. We fear she is THE Points Queen. Sink into your senses and listen up as they dive into why – in both fashion and scents – quiet luxury is dead and maximalism is back, baby!! And they take us on a scent tour around thew world. What does New York smell like? Well, a lot of things. But sometimes champagne at dusk. London? Fish and chips. Milan? Pasta water and Nonna's hands. Paris? Mothballs and lipstick. Plus – consider the praises of smuggled cured meats on planes and jasmine pillow spray. Ooo la la.

  • Smells Like: Eau de Millennium

    Welcome to the first episode of Nose Dive! Join us as our host and intrepid Chief Nose Asia Grant sits down with pop icon JoJo (!!!) to travel back to Y2K… a time when fragrance and pop culture became truly inseparable. Our iconic girlies kiki and dive deep into mall culture, celebrity perfumes and the extremely early-aughts obsession with smelling like your idols. (Britney Spears Curious, anyone?!) The conversation also revisits eos Beach Waves and Toasted Marshmallow, two scents that capture the feeling of endless summer through nostalgia, memory, and fragrance. 


    Plus! Tea! JoJo opens up about her breakout Top 40 hit "Leave" (written before her first actual breakup – btw – this was pure teen angst), her iconic role in Aquamarine and what independence actually smells like for her: amber, golden hour and the freedom to say yes. It's soulful, it's funky, it's the recipe to womanhood.
