Welcome fragrant friends! We love fragrances, in fact we tend to get a little geeky about everything scent related. We are Chris and Steve, we both have YouTube channels and regularly find ourselves chatting on social media. The idea behind this podcast is to 'bottle' our frag banter and present it here for you! Our chat will include fragrance reviews, which scents we're wearing and discussing the latest fragcomm news and dramas! If you're into fragrances then we hope you'll join us on our deep dive into scent geekery! Find Steve on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCemnXnl6Q6KTsUU1lDNqerA Find Chris on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm10tytOAzlO42r9_4Oc8Eg
