    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 fragrances to candles to dish soap.

    To Each Their...Something

    To Each Their...Something

    It's January. It's brick. Beauty consumerism has us in its dopamine-laced grip. It might be time to reject transparency and embrace gatekeeping. Best fragrance articles are all dealers' choice. Sable discovers a new saffron scent. Tynan got his hands on a fragrance interpretation of an espresso martini. Fragrance shop vibes are off. This is still not a pronunciation podcast.
