Ep 71: Fragrances of Mass Destruction

That's right, Maddie and Chloe came to the table for a two-woman treaty on nuclear perfume performance and these hawks are ready to declare all out olfactory warfare! Before they detonate, they're targeting the tough tactical questions, namely: Which perfume is 80s-era Melanie Griffith wearing? Is Hilde Soliani a cheesemonger on weekends? When the hell will Vanna White finally retire??? Seek shelter and don't forget your prep kit; this is an atomic episode that guarantees Mutually Assured Destruction :)
