Smell Ya Later – Details, episodes & analysis

Imagine only being able to make a perfume when the raw materials are in peak season. That's how April Gargiulo developed Understory, the singular perfume oil from her brand Vintner's Daughter. A year after its original launch, it's back again—round 2—with some slightly evolved aromatic tweaks. This is how a winemaker creates a perfume oil.

Juliette Has A Gun's founder Romano Ricci may be more of a Mercutio in the Shakespeare-coded and metaphorical world of this episode. With Not A Perfume, Anyway..., Mmmm..., Ode To Dullness, and others, Juliette Has A Gun has undone haute parfumerie's formalities and proven that levity can be luxury as well. We speak with Ricci about the risk of launching an unserious fragrance brand in the height of mid-aughts fragrance culture, his roots in fragrance and fashion legacy, and how fragrance can be invisible armor.

Whoever said never meet your idols never told Tynan, who has manifested such a meeting with none other than mega influencer and scented candle queen, Jackie Aina. Excuse the jittery energy, as we get into it with our girl, who's had a prolific career, from dropping out of college, joining the army, dominating YouTube, interviewing the president of the United States (!!!) and of course, launching cheeky candle brand, FORVR MOOD.
