Episodes
After a quick one-week break from the pod, we stir up a couple of Manhattans, spray our hair with a little Elnett, and go through our scents of the (past two) weeks.

The devil is at work in this episode for sure. Fragrances mentioned in this episode: Slow Dive by Hiram Green / Barbie Dream House Candle / Side Effect by Initio / Bal D’Afrique by Byredo...

In this first ever episode of Fragraphilia, the Podcast, we overcome a restless baby, powers outages and hail, and most of all, our complete lack of experience in recording and editing audio files for this podcast.
