Can a fragrance create as much division as it does admiration? This episode takes you on a nostalgic journey with Hacivat by Nishane, a scent that has ignited passionate debates among our listeners since we first reviewed it over three years ago. Join Myke and Ryan as they revisit their initial experiences and undying admiration for this polarizing fragrance, while addressing listener feedback and a particularly critical perspective. Through honest reflections, we reaffirm our love for Hacivat's unique composition and reevaluate our initial judgments, underscoring the evolving nature of our fragrance journey.
Which pineapple fragrance reigns supreme? We spark a lively discussion on whether Aventus truly pioneered the pineapple scent revolution and introduce a new contender, Insidious, that might have dethroned the classic. Excitement brews as we contemplate a thrilling head-to-head episode featuring both scents and share our one-night stand review of Nishane's Kredo, noting its slightly feminine allure. With humorous musings about managing a live episode without our producer Todd, we invite listeners to join our Patreon for exclusive content and giveaways, adding an extra layer of engagement to our fragrance community.

Ever smelled something that reminds you of food leftovers? We sure have, and on our 300th episode of the Cologne Podcast, returning guest Nikki joins us to revisit a fragrance that's as nostalgic as it is controversial. We find ourselves laughing over a review comparing it to Thanksgiving leftovers and fondly remember Nikki's kitchen skills. As we move on to our one-night stand review of M. Micallef's Red Colorado, we agree it's decent yet not a standout in their lineup, with Nikki taking us on a nostalgic journey to Estes Park, Colorado, adding a personal touch to the episode. We then explore "Triumph of Bacchus," a scent that dances between sweet white peach, boozy rum, and creamy vanilla, and debate its daring bottle design. A fragrance that seems to have split opinions on its appeal, we liken it to a peach Jolly Rancher. Our conversation takes a fun turn discussing similar scents like Carlisle and Red Tobacco, and our evolving candy preferences. This exploration of "Triumphal Bacchus" wraps up with a hint of green apple and saffron, painting the full picture of this unique olfactory experience. Support the show Join Our Patreon…
