    Beauty industry veteran Melanie Dir is behind some of the coolest creative you've seen at Sephora (Isamaya Beauty, Pat McGrath Labs, Simi Haze...), but grew up steeped in Perfume as the daughter of master perfumer at Mane, Claude Dir. This past year, she launched her own brand GAMINE, championing a global, gritty, and very tactile side of fine fragrance — the brand's three initial fragrances launched in brutalist-looking rubber-sheathed rectagular bottles called "bricks," rubber and rope hiking-inspired keychain solids, and most recently, in concentrated perfume oils dubbed "microdoses." The scents themselves are bold, modern takes on French perfumery with gasoline, rubber, concrete, metal, and latex notes blended with chypres, florals, and earthy woods. Melanie talks to us about what it's like being trained in perfumery as a kid, growing up in the lab, and her roundabout career in the beauty industry that brought her right back to perfume.

    We have a post-spooky episide this week, in which we are smelling a whole bunch of new smells this week — some new to the world, some newly unembargoed, and some new to us (including but not limited to Dedcool Mocha Magic, Merit New Wave, Jil Sander Sesame, and Commodity's Spice trio).
    Also, Tynan is speaking on a panel at ScentXplore next week. If you're in NYC and headed to the trade show, put it on your calendar. And Sable is going to Japan and Shanghai later this month, so if you have any recommendations for places to stay and things to smell, hit us up in the DMs.

    Delina is a monoymous name that anyone across PerfumeTok can clock as THE GIRL. As one of the inaugural frgrances that's helped create the moniker PerfumeTok, she's introduced a new generation of fragheads to Parfums de Marly, a fragrance brand that's around since 2009, inspired by the Château de Marly, a private 18th-century retreat built by King Louis XV. We have Yvan Jacqueline, president of the Americas for Parfums de Marly, to catch up with a brand that continues releasing exquisite fragrances, knockout after knockout, beyond but not in spite of the digital sphere that's brought it into a new light.

    We welcome Dana Steinfeld, chief innovation officer, blue sky & founder of Anecdotes By Artists, to chat about how beauty incubators bring fragrance brands to life on a mass scale — from Being Frenshe and Fine'ry at Target and Ulta — to now the debut of Anecdotes By Artists launching in Sephora.
    The new fragrance line champions the ambition of the perfumer (Patricia Choux for the inital three launches) to create their own dream fragrances based on their own experiences and imagination.

    We also discuss fragrance duping at its Fine'st, DSM-Firmenich's Open Air Artist In Residence event we attended recently, and the otherwise small personal tragedies of our immune systems.

Also, a recap of the Laundry Sauce x Arquiste Misfit launch event, a brief construction and deconstruction of what makes a fig scent, a Die Hot re-do, a few new scents we've smelled this week, and a visit to one of those venture-capital-funded bougie wellness contrast therapy sauna/ice plunge places and its scent options.

    We've said over and over that we do not seasonalize scent (and we don't!). But in a world where fragrance is divvied up by what season it's appropriate for, are we just beating the same tired drum? Or are we correct? (We are correct.) Anyway. Here's an episode in which we're fighting for our lives against these allegations as we discuss some upcoming holiday scents from Athena Club, a laundry scent collab with friend of the pod Arquiste, a number of girl smells from the Big Beauty Brands, and Tynan's favorite drugstore lotion.

    PSL season is upon us, which means... so is cuffing season. We're catching up after a late-summer break with a smelling spree on Fall's new fragrance drops, fragrances that were embargoed for weeks and that we're circling back to, and ones we wanted to talk about but, for no discernible reason, haven't yet. The lot includes some confusing irises, sexy cake scents, slutty going-out party girl scents, and cozy gourmands.

    Nick Axelrod-Welk can be credited with a lot of beauty culture's millennial-charged evolution in the 2010s, having co-founded Into The Gloss, Necessaire, and Homecourt. For his next act, he's launching a beauty house: Contrapposto, beginning with fine fragrance — 3 of them, in fact.
    We welcome Nick on this week's episode to talk us through the three scents created with master perfumers Frank Voelkl and Shyamala Maisondieu, the early days from editorial beauty to brand building, and how true luxury involves collaborating with artisans and masters of their own craft, the privilege to create without bounds, and such joyfully detailed nuances that further one's point of view in beauty.

    Perhaps you've heard of Athena Club, one of the millennial-era DTC personal care brands of the 2010s that offered period products, razors, and deodorant. Once fragrance entered the mix (and the brand entered Target and Walmart), Athena Club unofficially reintroduced itself with an assortment of eight scents across body wash, lotion, and fragrance mists. Most recently, their scents Banana Sunmilk and Pink Marshmallow gained traction on ScentTok, and got our attention as well. We welcome SVP of Marketing Emily Ferber on this episode to discuss creating compelling scents for the mass market, how she got her start in beauty at Into The Gloss and Glossier, and what it takes for a brand to find its legs in an oversaturated market.

    We have the pleasure and delight of welcoming comedian, director, and actor John Early as a guest on this week's episode to discuss his film Maddie's Secret — AND the fragrance of the same name, made in collaboration with Marissa Zappas and Ruby McCollister for the film.
    We get into the gourmand of the fragrance and how it reflects the foodie elements in the film, how so many "LA girl" ingredients have come to define culinary culture, body odor anxieties, and channeling your insecurities into a character narrative in an era of body positivity's tyranny.

    A repeat guest is a rare occurrence on Smell Ya Later, but when we heard that fragrance aficionado Funmi Monet had something big in the works, we had to bite. Influxious is Monet's brand-new fragrance line, inspired and informed by her Nigerian heritage. She joins us on this episode to talk us through her four debut fragrances, each with its own expression for how you want to feel, connected with a thread of Nigerian ginger. There's the party scent, the vacation scent, the confident scent, and the comforting skin scent with a rarely-smelled base informed by her personal upbringing.

    Seems like fragrance is revisiting a certain kind of scent profile combo dubbed by traditional perfumery as chypre (a scent profile we both keep forgetting about). We smell a few modern releases taking the idea and giving it a modern interpretation, as well as a few more new-ish scents in varying degrees of "sure, okay!" and "oh yes, that!"

    Sort of, yes, kind of, more than before... It's just us this episode, chatting about some fun new fragrance releases (Vacation's new Orange Gelée collection, Born To Stand Out, etc), some BBB [beautiful but basic] fragrances (Guerlain's wedding collection, yet another Born in Roma, etc), and some ones we do not quite understand, but "sure, why the hell not?" (Notewrks's new "for men but also everyone" fragrances).

    On this week's ep, we have Bryan Edwards, co-founder & CEO of Snif, one of the first brands to kick off the DTC fragrance-buying format. With clever and experimental scent releases that have always injected a bit of cheeky humor into fragrance, they're stretching in polar directions in a way that most brands would dare to endeavor — one way that engages with nostalgia-driven fun with pancake, milk and breakfast cereal, gasoline, and croissant scents; and another way that caters more plainly to fragrance's slightly more underserved audience (straight guys who wash their face with soap but are thinking of getting face soap... and now fragrance).

    While perfume for dogs continues to miss, one pet grooming category — the shampoo and coat conditioner — remained woefully underconsidered. Enter Biche, a luxury pet grooming line launched by friend of the pod, Alexandra Pauly. The former High Snobiety beauty editor, fragrance enthusiast, and dog mom set out to create a line of pet shampoo and coat conditioning oil that would make bathtime a more sensorial ritual — and now it's here! We chat with Pauly on this episode about how to create a different kind of fragrance and personal care brand, how shampoo for dogs is different than shampoo for humans, and creating a signature scent with pod favorite Carlos Huber.

    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.

    When art & design turn their ambitions toward technology and olfaction, how much does a machine powered by algorithms, AI, or both, challenge an industry known for gatekeeping (and upcharging), and how much does it supplant the craftsmanship and skill of a perfumer? We discuss such iffiness after experiencing a custom scent-making installation that questions, "What if every human could create their own scent?"

    Dancing is a Sonoma vineyard (est. 2022) founded by mother and daughter, Cynthia and Lauren Russell. It's also a perfume brand that makes vineyard-themed scents: smoked wood and forest floor, the grapes, and, of course, the vines. We chat with Cynthia and Lauren about how it all came together and how they created their three scents with Frederick Bouchardy of Joya Studios.
