Ep 25: The Blind Leading the Blind Nov 10, 2023

Show notes

Who's feeling lucky? This week the ladies roll the dice, pray to the perfume gods and finally click "add to cart." That's right, they're discussing the polarizing topic of fragrance Blind Buys and sharing the good, the bad and the completely random. It's a veritable potpourri of salon core aesthetics, shopping mall memories, drugstore standbys and a fragrance note described simply as Pure Cloud. Follow along as Maddie and Chloe tackle this week's tough questions: Is Olivia Rodrigo the only hope for our youth? Is it ever a good idea to buy a used perfume on Ebay? Is the price of Arizona Iced Tea the best indicator of the global economy? Chloe hikes up her skirt AND her IQ when she finally gets glasses and Maddie nearly risks it all for a mozzarella-scented frag. Get ready to prime your noses and your pocketbooks fragheads because what happens on Fragrancenet stays on Fragrancenet.

Show notes

Well, they've finally done it. The ladies have found the freaky-deakiest frags that are too weird for even them to wear... or are they? Who wants to smell like a diorama in The Natural History Museum? What about a tangerine on fire? Honeyed goat cheese anyone? If you are looking to fall in love with a perfume that confuses everyone around you, you've come to the right place!

All this plus the perfect perfume formula to smell like a disgraced Los Angeles fine-dining legend. Pour up your Guru and get ready to get spooky.

Ep 21: Set it and Fragret It Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

This week the ladies take on a controversial topic: Fragrets, i.e. those frags that maybe didn't need to make it all the way into the cart after all. Listen as they discuss epic blind buys, perfume second tries, and a fragrance that smells deep fried. Chloe enters her convalescent cinephile era, Maddie climbs back on her Kyse bottle soapbox, and the gals debate which perfume was worn by Harvey Milk. All that plus an Ex Machina fragrance, a dirty little period piece, the art world's crippling fragrophobia, and a perfume application hot take you will NOT want to miss.

Is Chloe's ankle tattoo a starfish or a graphic representation of her home state of New Jersey? All this PLUS latex wedding looks, red vines, a vinyl chair in a North Hollywood auto body shop, sesame deprivation, and ink and paper perfume. Buckle up for this week's magnum opus frag heads because the library is open.

Show notes

Your favorite bloodhounds are blessed, booked, and ready to sniff out the wheat from the chaff. This week they couldn't help but wonder: Is Walt Disney the original dupe-master? Is sapiosexuality a myth? Is it perfume or.....something else? Follow along as they discuss their favorite fragrance dupes, debate the growing popularity of orange marshmallow farts, and demand that more hot uber drivers wear sweatpants. Want to smell like dryer sheets? What about a tween on the eve of her bat mitzvah? Grab your faux fruitchouli and pour up your grape soda frag hags, this is a good one.

Ep 16: Christian Girl Autumn Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

Searching for the best scent to wear on a walk of shame? Well call your Uber and throw on last night's thong because the ladies are discussing everyone's favorite topic: hangover perfumes! This week the gals advise on fragrance merchandising, debunk a perfume myth, and toast to a creative Renaissance, all while trying not to puke up last night's tequila sodas. Chloe maintains her reign as Los Angeles' queen of country and Maddie returns to the perfume-making lab to master a Pink Sugar dupe. Follow along as the fraghags get patched up, share their much-rehearsed hangover prevention techniques, doubt their respective effectiveness, and discuss a pumpkin spice scent alongside two faith-inflected frags. Just like last call at the bar you will NOT want to miss this one!
