Nothing says change of season like…new candles! We’ve got scents of granola, chestnuts, apple crisp, and cardamom; some of our listeners’ favorite wicks; and a deep, nerd-level dive into why humans are so drawn to scented candles. Before that, we discuss surgically implanted hair chains; a TerraCycle lawsuit; Met Gala and New York Fashion Week looks; Jennifer Aniston’s new hair line; and the scientist at Nissan known as the “nose” of new car smell.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), reach out to us on Instagram or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show. You can also leave us a voicemail to be featured on a future podcast (our phone number in the U.S. is at 646-481-8182).
