Ep 70: I Do (feat. Steve Gontarski)

Season 2, Ep. 40

Start preening your Pinterest and refining your registry fragheads, this week the ladies are joined by fan fave Nose Candy guest Steve Gontarski to talk all about wedding perfumes! You may know Steve from his genius Tik Toks, ubiquity on the Luckyscent instagram, and as the manager of Scent Bar LA, but did you know he's also mawwied? The LA perfume icon sat down with the gals to talk about the scent he wore on his wedding day and graciously allowed the ladies to design their own fantasy weddings, which meant white tuxedos, chocolate fountains, and a perfume that smells like a rabbit cage. All that PLUS Maddie preserves her stake in CDG and fearlessly defends Zoologist's iconography while Chloe makes an argument for layering three of the strongest perfumes on earth.
