After a little break, we're back with a catch-up, a listener question about one of our beloved fragrance brands veering a bit too closely to the o-word,  and a data snapshot of what fragrance trends (and which trends from our previous forecasts) are indexing now.  [What we smell like today: Burberry Goddess]Find more info, episodes, and merch at Smellyalater.liveLeave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3Leave a (nice) comment & (5-star) review wherever you stream ?

Smell Ya Later

Flop-onomics Report 2023

There are red flags, there are green flags, and now there are beige flags — all of which we've somehow made about fragrance and scent in this episode. We answer a listener hotline memo about cultivating one's sense of smell, we discuss that "perfume girl" scent and what its commonalities are, and other nonsense. [What we smell like today: L'Objet Rose Noire, Kayali Velvet Santal & Silk Santal]Find more info, episodes, and merch at Smellyalater.live Leave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3Leave a (nice) comment & (5-star) review wherever you stream ?

Perfume For Yearning feat. Universal Flowering

The Fragrance Brand With A History Lesson In Every Bottle, Feat. Arquiste

A lovely listener and tattoo artist tagged us in a photo of a Mugler Angel bottle she tatted on a client, which prompted (half of) us (Tynan has a bottle of Britney Spears Curious on his arm) to ponder: what fragrances would be cool tattoos? [What we smell like today: Ellis Brooklyn Salt, Le Mond Gourmand Maïs Soufflé]Find us at Smellyalater.live (where the merch is)Leave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3Leave a (nice) comment & (5-star) review wherever you stream ?

What Perfume Would You Get Tattooed On Yourself?

The best compliments are ones where you feel understood, known, and sometimes maybe a little too seen. This is where fragrance serves as a homing beacon. Here is a fun little ep about the most memorable scent compliments we've received, as well as copious encouragement to compliment other peoples' fragrances. Why? Because it's nice and makes people feel nice, and sometimes it's just nice to smell nice things and say that out loud. [What we smell like today: Mind Games Caissa, D.S. & Durga Mahogany Kora]Find us at Smellyalater.live (where the merch is)Leave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3Leave a (nice) comment & (5-star) review wherever you stream ?

The Best Non-Visual Compliments

We are exploring "beast mode" fragrances as a concept, as a way of wearing scent, and as a trigger. It could very well be the antithesis of summer fragrances, just happening to have a resurgence in relevance as summer approaches. While we don't believe in seasonal scents, summer tends to have a hold on fragrance wearers' perceptions of the existence of summer scents as a concept. With respect to that, we discuss our favorite scents that go as long as the days are this time of year. [What we smell like today: L'Objet Oh Mon Dieu!, BDK Rouge Smoking]Find us at Smellyalater.live (where the merch is)Leave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3Leave a (nice) comment & (5-star) review wherever you stream ?

If You're Gonna Do One Thing This Summer, It's Smell Me

All this chit-chat about quiet luxury is skipping fragrance, which one could argue has always been quiet luxury. Your hosts go on about what luxury is now, what kind of fragrances and scent notes narrate the perception of luxury, and agree to disagree about what luxury even is, before eventually agreeing after all. Does it matter what volume you luxuriate at? If discussions about money and spending annoy you, this episode is... loaded.  [What we smell like today: Prada Paradoxe, Atum Wanted]Find us at Smellyalater.live (where the merch is)Leave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3Leave a (nice) comment & (5-star) review wherever you stream ?

Fragrance Has Always been Quiet Luxury

We have the perfumer of the moment, Frank Voelkl on for this benchmark episode of Smell Ya Later. We talk scent trends, signature perfume styles, how one fragrance he created is solely responsible for Big Sandalwood's rise, why everyone is obsessed with scents that smell like nothing, and his favorite scent that he's made.[What we smell like today: Fzotic Vetiverissimo, Kayali Deja Vu White Flower]Find us at Smellyalater.live (where the merch is)Leave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3Leave a (nice) comment & (5-star) review wherever you stream ?

The Santal Elephant In The Room feat. Perfumer Frank Voelkl

What is the perfume spray threshold? How many sprays do you spray? We asked, we researched (went on Reddit), and we sprayed, all in the interest of Sprayology™ (not to be confused with anything remotely involving science). [What we smell like today: Snif Crumb Couture, Diptyque Eau Nabati]Find us at Smellyalater.live (where the merch is)Leave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3

How Do You Trademark A Scent?

We talk to Carol Han Pyle, founder and poet of our favorite candle brand Nette about what "clean" means when it comes to candles and scent, the poetry of describing scent, and the importance of a good cup. Also in this episode: we finally went to Carbone (it was OK), Pistachio  Munchausen Syndrome,  and why you should never give candles to boys.[What we smell like today: Hermès Un Jardin À Cynthère, Perfumehead Room Number]Find us at Smellyalater.live (where the merch is)Leave us a message on the SYL Hotline at Speakpipe.com/smellyalaterFollow us on Instagram @smellyalater.mp3

Live From NY, It's Smell Ya Later

Tynan Sinks and Sable Yong — friends, beauty editors, award-winning fragrance writers (some of us), and scent fiends — are giving the world the podcast no one asked for. Smell Ya Later explores every imaginable angle at which we interact with the aromas and odors in our lives, the scents that have seared themselves into our memory, and scents that inform the way we envision our future. That includes everything from fine fragrances to candles to dish soap.
