Please enjoy the 5th annual Smell Ya Later Awards, a collection of extremely biased, not entirely sensical, but entirely 'we mean it' categories of fragrances that we love, support, wonder what's going on with, and wish something more would be going on with...them:

203: What do angel numbers smell like? 🪽💫
If you see 222, 333, 444, 555, and 11 11 everywhere, now you can smell them — or at least the interpretation of them via Lake & Skye's popular fragrances. Brand founder Courtney Somer joins us this episode to discuss creating the popular 11 11 scent that launched the brand, as well as their new Angel Numbers body mists, which take the concept in a playful and cozy-smelling direction.

202: Can people please be normal about pumpkin spice
The Tokkers are at it again, this time selling out a certain indie pumpkin spice-laden perfume in service of... vasodilation? ¯\(ツ)/¯
OK, we guess!
This week, we combatively chit-chat about very expensive perfumes, very affordable perfumes, and all the basic in-between perfumes (y'know, the usual). And we address a listener question about fall fragrances as they alert us to the unfounded reason people are selling out a certain Tilda Swinton pumpkin spice perfume.
(And yeah, pretty sure we're saying "Roja" wrong throughout this episode, but.)
[What we smell like today: Roja Isola Sol, Cyklar Sacred Santal]

201: Rare Beauty's first perfume looks like that for a reason
We're delighted to welcome Joyce Kim, chief product officer for Rare Beauty, on this episode to talk about how Rare's first eau de parfum was created: its unique bottle design created in collaboration with hand therapy specialists, the four scent layering balms that dramatically transform the scent, and how an early unintended packaging design feature informed what's possible for accessibility in beauty products.
[What we smell like today: Harlem Perfume Co. Billie, Ellis Brooklyn Super Amber]

Two friends from the beauty industry chat about all things scent and smell. Every week, Smell Ya Later explores the myriad ways we interact with the aromas and odors in our lives, the scents seared into our memories, and how scent defines the way we envision our future.
