While the rest of you have been celebrating brat summer, Team Nose Candy has taken BRAT diet summer international. That means bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast for your gals, who are not only snatched to the gods but suffering from extreme digestive distress! When better than dealing with diverticulitis to discuss the palliative perfumes that soothe the soul (and the GI tract)? Are you on the hunt for a changing table frag? What about a key lime pie scent? Care for a synagogue cookie? Whether you've been gorging on gluten, have invited coronavirus back into your life, or are coming down from a Txakolina-fueled bender, this antibiotic episode is a warm dose of Mylanta for the SIBO soul!

Ep 54: Norway José (feat. Jenny Hval) Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Slip into your bunad and prepare to bask in the midnight sun because this week the Nose Candy gals are talking to artist, writer, musician, and iconically Nordic nose Jenny Hval! Listen in as these three discuss the scents of Scandinavia, from cardamom buns to fig fibs to a brand new Swedish fashion frag. Want a perfume that smells like fresh dry cleaning? What about a spritz of cheesy popcorn? Scented rice sound nice? Seize the day, overspray, and anchors away because not even a fjord could separate these three from their frags.

Want even more of the genius and endlessly creative Jenny Hval? Run and buy all her albums (the Nose Candy gals are superfans) as well as her books "Paradise Rot: A Novel," "Girls Against God," and "Inn i ansiktet" (for our Norweigan divas), go experience her sound installation "Join the Sound" with Lost Girls at the Munch Museum in Oslo through August 25th, and follow her on instagram at @jennyhval.

Ep 51: Who / What / Wear (feat. Maxwell Williams of UFO Parfums) Jun 28, 2024

Show notes

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.

Show notes

This week the girls are gestating, celebrating, and puke-baiting with a very special episode about the perfumes they're selecting when they're Expecting. Who better to discuss the scent of pregnancy than writer, trend forecaster, and glamorously pregnant diva Emily Segal! The Nose Candy gals sat down with the author of Mercury Retrograde (Deluge, 2020) to talk about digital coffee, Baggu barf and the correct pronunciation of the word "midwifery." From Bisquick and orange juice, to expired Flintstones vitamins, to Robitussin scents and parmesan perfumes these three are celebrating the gift of life with the gift of gab for an engorged and gorgeous episode you will not want to miss!
