Summary
Before we talk about perfume, we need to talk about why . In this episode, Josh, your goth fragrance bestie, and Michele, MichySmells, slow things down to define what The Fragrance Files is, what it isn’t, and why this conversation needed to exist in the first place. This isn’t an origin story in the traditional sense. It’s a conversation about pace, intention, and the kind of fragrance discourse that feels increasingly rare. We talk about what frustrates us in modern perfume culture, what we want to protect, and the kind of listener we’re hoping to sit beside rather than impress. There are no rankings here. No hot takes for the sake of noise. Just an invitation into how we think about scent, memory, and meaning; and how this podcast plans to move through fragrance differently.
