Smell Ya Later

Smell Ya Later

Tynan Sinks and Sable Yong — friends, beauty editors, award-winning fragrance writers (some of us), and scent fiends — are giving the world the podcast no one asked for. Smell Ya Later explores every imaginable angle at which we interact with the aromas and odors in our lives, the scents that have seared themselves into our memory, and scents that inform the way we envision our future. That includes everything from fine fragrance to candles to dish soap. Follow @smellyalater.mp3 on Instagram for episode updates and probably some memes.

    172: Mist Connections with Sol De Janeiro
    The smell that launched a thousand ships, if there was one, it would probably be wafting from some maiden absolutely doused in any cheirosa of choice from Sol De Janeiro's perfume mists. We have Maggie Arms and Liza Henowitz from the product side to talk to us about the Sol De Janeiro scent philosophy, some top-tier Cheirosa combos, and what makes their perfume mists just so... that girl.

    171: What Does The Amazon Smell Like? [feat. Francisco Costa]
    Aroma is the singular fragrance of Costa Brazil, one recognizable by its wooden box "bottle" and unforgettable by its deeply resinous and earthy... aroma. We have Francisco Costa on this episode to talk about his trips to the Amazon, which led to the creation of this very popular scent, and the importance of having a point of view through scent.

    ...And other listener queries. We are catching up at SYL HQ with a few hotline queries, including what scented laundry detergent is actually good for, and what's the deal with fragrance getting so intense lately?

    169: Chicago Smells F*cking Terrific (feat. Bianco Profumo)

    We have Mark and Nick Holmes, the father & son duo of Bianco Profumo — a new Chicago-based fragrance brand that captures the Italian-Americana of the '80s and '90s. In their words: "We do it big. Our hair is perfectly spritzed into place, we speak ten decibels louder than everyone else, we’re the life of every party, and we smell f**king terrific." Their debut launch of three scents immediately grabbed our attention (not hard with these scent profiles: a black cherry leather jacket, a ripe tomato garden, and the modern Cool Water of today) and from what we learn in this episode, this is just the beginning for Bianco Profumo.

    We discuss:

    • the food at the Glossier Yous launch event
    • a restroom perfume rec
    • the secret Tsu Lang Yor launch event at Stéle we attended
    • Mugler Angel Fantasm — just as punchy as the original, plus piña colada
    • Sable smells like DS & Durga Murder Mystery set Prof. Newton Hay + PRof. Rrose
    • Tynan smells like Pearfat Stomped On Bed Of Lettuce

    168: What Does Attachment Theory Smell Like?

    Eleasium's mystically oceanic and intuition-formed debut scent is a single perfume oil inspired by dark, cold water, pomegranates, mermaids, seashells, pearls, and...attachment theory. We have Courtney Brunson, founder of Eleasium (and our former colleague from xoJane days) on this episode to chat about her career in brand copy and product development, moving to Paris, and making her first fragrance, Attachment Oil.

    167: 🕯️Getting A Clue💡 with Laura Oberwetter of Clue Perfumery

    Classic gameboard game turned film, and now perfume brand, Clue Perfumery is such a novel take on the smells of everyday surroundings: the forest floor, church pews, a dusty lightbulb, and more curious objects. Perfumer and co-founder Laura Oberwetter comes on the pod for this episode about all things Clue Perfumery (Those custom caps! Designing the bottles and branding! Making a beer scent!).

    166: Amphora Parfums Will Cure Your Hottness Fatigue

    We have Noah Virgile of Amphora Parfums on this episode to talk about their breakout debut collection that we've personally fallen for, taking perfume classes and creating scents, their growing vintage Mugler flanker collection, and the joy of finding new ways to self-express through makeup, scent, eyebrow bleaching, you name it. This is such a great chat for anyone who wants to escape the cycle of perpetual performance by redefining your experiences with scent.
