225: A case against discovery sets 🧐

March 17, 2026 · 50 min

Show notes

We're back after a wee break (vacation, life, etc) with a listener question about the pros/cons/whats with plunking down the dollars for a full-size scent vs. taking home a discovery set when in the market for niche fragrances abroad. We also discuss a handful of new scents from D.S. & Durga's Debaser In Bloom, Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla, Non-Fiction, Sidia, and more.

[What we smell like today: Nonfiction The Beige, SIDIA Midas]
