Join us for a fragrant escapade as we welcome Nneoma, a vibrant fragrance enthusiast with Nigerian roots, who shares her aromatic journey and insights. Her passion for perfumes, inspired by her mother's love for luxurious scents, blossomed during the pandemic, leading her to explore a diverse range of fragrances, from feminine to the bold and captivating oud wood. Together, we share laughs over high school scent choices and critique celebrity perfumes, like Beyonce's, while reflecting on how the pandemic allowed us to nurture new hobbies, with fragrance exploration taking center stage.
As our aromatic adventure unfolds, we venture into the world of niche perfumes, where small-batch scents offer unique olfactory experiences. We share personal anecdotes about refining scent preferences and the art of layering fragrances to craft personalized aromas. Brands like Profumum Roma receive our nod for their long-lasting and high-oil-concentration perfumes, and we revel in the humorous challenges of combining the right fragrances. Our exploration is a celebration of the sensory journey that fragrances offer, with suede notes becoming a newfound love during cooler months.
Our fragrant journey crescendos with a delightful discussion on gourmand fragrances, especially the alluring "Chocolate Makes Me Happy." We navigate the contentious debate of keeping perfume boxes and share thoughts on displaying fragrance collections. The episode takes a flavorful twist as we explore cherry perfumes, with each scent offering its own interpretation of the cherry note. From the whimsical idea of food-inspired scents to the humorous incident of comparing someone to a linebacker during a social gathering, we've packed this episode with aromatic tales and laughter, inviting you to savor the sensory delight.
