Great to see you guys back together!! We just got a sent a handful of Bruno fragrances, looking forward to smelling them now. Aso, I appreciate the seltzer fandom. -Camille
It’s cool, we’re giving you a gentle dose of that classic PNW passive aggression. But a care package may be needed to soothe any hurt feelings. Thomas will make you some of his special brownies, too...🤯
This was fun. The yet perfume community is great….sensitive, intelligent, generous…all coming together over a common obsession for different reasons. I’m your latest subscriber.
Just discovered you channel and you guys are hysterical! Fragrance, metal, and PNW snarkyness. All the good things. I'm your neighbor to the north in Olympia. Look forward to diving into you back catalog of videos. Does Thomas have his own channel? I must watch it:)
Ah! Olympia--nice to meet you, neighbor! Thanks for your kind words. I love Thomas...a true salt of the earth sort of fellow. He has a channel called Early Greek, but he tends to spend more time over on Instagram these days.
I was the one who DM'd you that first question, and the answer met and then exceeded my expectations! I'm dying from laughter , and from the smell of Furyo wafting over from the other side of the US. :)
I really enjoyed this video! FOMO is real. I also love the approach Thomas just loves a fragrance and ... just doesn’t buy it! Buying something is really easy these days and a great collection just means that you spent money on something. And yes, I also have these feelings when I open the door to my fragrance collection and yet: I find it very difficult to let go. Oh, and boxer briefs for sure! Thanks so much for the wonderful hour I spent with you.
Agree about taking perfumes too seriously at times. Not everything has to be a complex, challenging, abstract, masterpieces. Sometimes it just smells good like Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka.
Love the video! :-D FOMO is the worst. I still have a bunch of fragrances which I bought because of FOMO and in retrospect I did not miss anything. Also I have to admit I care way too much about the personal life of perfumers. Loved reading about Jean-Claude Ellena meeting Edmond Roudnitska and how Roudnitska sent him home and said to him, that he should come back tomorrow, because he smells like detergent :-D
For me, there are juuuust a few that I’m glad I nabbed, but at least I tried them ahead of time. Once everyone starts dropping $1k on bottles that sell out in 5 minutes, I lose all interest!
The Arcades? Sadly, I do miss walking around Washington DC because of the beautiful, and interesting, mix of gothic, classical and modern architectures. It's a dyslexic smattering that remains centered around a neoclassic theme...and it just works. I relocated to Dallas in late-2018 and Dallas is the most spirit-sucking display of concrete, steel and glass unattractiveness in my about any city...with the best part being the building lights at night. Thankfully, I'm 25-miles outside of the city and don't commute there on a daily. Boxers vs Briefs? I was going ask if this was turning into an episode of Jeremy Fragrances...so glad you moved on. LOL! Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme Made in Italy formulation. You and me too! I have a backup bottle, but only wear it sparingly nowadays. Honestly, I could wear this everyday and never get tired of it. C'est la vie. Another great inexpensive modern fragrances (surprised Thomas didn't mention this one) is Oscar de la Renta Gentlemen. $26 - what a bargain!
WD has a spray pokey thing? Too funny! I've known that since the late 1960s when using it on my Schwinn to make it stop squeaking. LOL! Can't believe the "G" man goes to Max Forti for his fragrance recommendations...and blends too? Dare I ask? Lot's of great sandalwood scents out there (Santal Majuscule is a great one, and others) but I like my sandalwood with a bit of that barbershop vibe...so Chanel Egoiste and Geo. F. Trumper Sandalwood are near the top.
Who is Gene Hoglan? At least Galen knows about Slayer...lol! But honestly, Keith Moon is a total different kinds of drummer...but how knows? He could have been quite the psycho on the skins had Thrash Metal been around during this time. Cheers!
Holy Crap! The dynamic-duo is together again after more than a year. Was this a livestream? Regardless, I'm gonna have to watch this one is multiple chunks of 15-minutes. Cheers!
Nope, this was pre-recorded. Thomas and I agree that livestreams cause too much emotional and gastrointestinal distress before, during, and after. So it may be a while before we doing another 😢
@@theaetherealist You just can't let in all the riff-raff. LOL! Regardless, it was nice seeing y'all back together and not hiding in your basements. Then again, I'm in Texas and we never really shut-down other than a momentary pause. Hopefully, people will learn to stop eating crap frankenfood that is void of nutrients, start eating nutritious foods, get plenty of vigorous daily exercise and quality sleep, and quit with the toxic recreational drugs, prescription drugs, and excessive alcohol that's killing their immune system. We shall see. Cheers!
To really appreciate and fully comprehend other people's taste and affection (when it comes down to perfume), I often ask the question: What is your favourite note in a fragrance, and do you prefer the note "focused" or do you best like it blended with some other note? People mostly thinks that is a hard question. So here is my question to you: What is your favourite note, and can you tell me your best reccomendations for each (prominent) note? I would love an answer from you, I really appreciate your work.
H24 as a “precursor of things to come” . My disappointments immeasurable and my day is ruined. Galen and Thomas, this was a enjoyable and entertaining video. Sincere thanks!
I had to chuckle when Thomas mentioned that he's pursued the perfect pair of boxers - apparently I'm not alone in that endeavor. it's paramount to be comfortable when wishing to enjoy perfume. ahem!
Loved this conversation! Thomas doesn't need to buy things because he's filled with pleasure at the mere mention of great perfume. 😂 My best sandalwood would have to be Chanel Bois des Isles followed closely by Egoiste.
Ps, that tube on the WD-40 bottles works great to replace or extend the length of the stock tube on decant atomizers. In case you get a long dabber or non-spray sample vial, cut that red tube to length and jam a travel atomizer on there. Problem solved. Even if it's only used to spray the fragrance into a sprayable decant vial, it makes dabbers all that more manageable.
18 sprays of Kouros. That totally sounds like a channel name. And "holy piss" a fragrance. 7:41 Yup. And I'm with you on the boxer briefs Galen. Why settle when you can have it all.
Or a song? I woke up in the middle of the night singing that line to the tune of Bob Dylan’s “One More Cup of Coffee.” I may need to get Servus to cut a backing track!
This has been one of the most entertaining things I've watched. It all sounded like it could become a podcast and for Galen... I'm confused... how do you know Dave Lombardo and not Gene Hoglan? Thomas, hand the guy a tape, no wait, a link.. damn I'm old. Exodus are great, anyway. But aside all that you two are a treat together! Thanks for the laughs ;-)
@@theaetherealist ahahah I was just kidding, there's no shame at all. He started his drummer career inspired by Lombardo. He played with Dark Angel and I suspect his spirit animal was an octopus 😁 To Thomas: he actually jammed with Exodus, there's proof on RUclips 🤓 Have a nice evening you two 🤗
For posterity the idiotic question from “Making a Stink” was from Camille. Also, I hold a black belt in Isshinryu so Thomas is correct. Don’t let the suit fool you. I’m a long time subway champion. -Chris

Were we that harsh?? Hahaha I dunno, I figure it's okay if we're punching up!
Omg the seltzer party sounds like a great time.
Hahahahahaha damnnnn okay boys!! Kumbaya and stuff.

Great one
Watching this in December for the second time and appreciate it. Love your channel.

Thank you, Lynn-glad to have you aboard! 😇
Wonderful 2 man show that would nor be out of place on stage or mainstream cable for sure bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My preference would be Black Box Theater or Cable Access!

Thanks for answering my question! Great answers btw. Fun video, can't wait for more content from y'all.
Alright! Thanks for the Q!
in art, modern is something thats over 80yrs old, contemporary is everything under 80yrs. LOVE this video :) I need to find some seltzer water here!
ps. people might be here for the Hegel but I'm all about the Benjamins
Gotta love Thomas' rants
He’s legally obligated to go on at least one rant within a 24 hour period, weekends included 😜
Finaly you guy's are back!😀Thomas i love the blue dial what is it;;
I was the one who DM'd you that first question, and the answer met and then exceeded my expectations! I'm dying from laughter , and from the smell of Furyo wafting over from the other side of the US. :)

Indeed! If you like it, wear it.
Fab rambles.love x
This was hilarious, and fun.
More!!! Best double act ever.
Fascinating conversation.
"You've conquered FOMO" I wish we could all attain Thomas's level of enlightenment
Best thumbnail ever.
Look, I’m all about telling the truth...and the truth is, well, listening to us must be an absolute thrill 🤓
Love the video! :-D

Thank you! And I’m thinking that Thomas will only continue to heap praise on H24, if only to be a contrarian! 🤓
Self-denial as a guilty pleasure is deep. Introspection to uncover the reason for the desire perhaps? On the road to enlightenment. 💡
Galen channeling some serious new-wave vibes here.
In case you can’t tell, Flock of Seagulls is my favorite band.
😍
Yeah Buddha
@@usmellsgood ☸
Jeez he even uses vintage WD-40 the formulation pre-pokey stick 👌
I'm surprised that Fragrance du Bois lawyers haven't taken down the video yet
Must. Tread. Lightly.
I’m rather intrigued by the mention of Horology!
Gonna have to leave that to the T Man. I never went down the watch rabbit hole.
@@theaetherealist I actually watched a couple videos last night!
I insist that the next video be titled HEGEL AND PERFUME: TEN THESES FOR DISPUTATION.
Gonna have to leave that one to Thomas...I got a C- in philosophy the second time around.
I had to chuckle when Thomas mentioned that he's pursued the perfect pair of boxers - apparently I'm not alone in that endeavor. it's paramount to be comfortable when wishing to enjoy perfume. ahem!
appreciate the Hegel shout out
Everyone’s loving the Hegel name check...
Its amazing if you watch in slow Mo you can literally see the second "the rant" took hold in his brain 🤔 tres interesting 🤣
Thomas has exactly three moods: pre-rant, rant, and post-rant.
@@theaetherealist 😂😂 gawd love him

I don't think I would be able to stomach that crappy Nose documentary one more time. I'm with you there Thomas!
It must be one of those “so bad it’s good” docs? Or perhaps just “so bad it’s horrible?”
@@theaetherealist more like dull and flacid
I love you guys.
Taking a big risk here 🤷♂️ having this much influence in the same room could indeed tear a hole in the space time continuum 😮
We had to get permission from NASA before pressing record.
Thomas loves horology 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I'm gonna say it....I don't know who Gene Hoglan is either. Had to look it up lol
58:20, a wild Galen's girlfriend appears
Need some WD-40 for that squeaky door.
Crowdwatching... and I read "Hegel" in the comments... ok, this is going to be a strange hour 😁
This has been one of the most entertaining things I've watched. It all sounded like it could become a podcast and for Galen... I'm confused... how do you know Dave Lombardo and not Gene Hoglan? Thomas, hand the guy a tape, no wait, a link.. damn I'm old. Exodus are great, anyway. But aside all that you two are a treat together! Thanks for the laughs ;-)
Good lord...the guy sang on the first Slayer LP. Shame on me...
@@theaetherealist ahahah I was just kidding, there's no shame at all. He started his drummer career inspired by Lombardo. He played with Dark Angel and I suspect his spirit animal was an octopus 😁 To Thomas: he actually jammed with Exodus, there's proof on RUclips 🤓 Have a nice evening you two 🤗
Thanks! And yeah...I figured you were joshing about the Hoglan comment.
heck yeah!
When you release that Snickers bar fragrance...........I'll take 10.
For posterity the idiotic question from “Making a Stink” was from Camille.
Also, I hold a black belt in Isshinryu so Thomas is correct. Don’t let the suit fool you. I’m a long time subway champion.

Why do none of those facts surprise me? 🤣
Favorite hike near or in Portland?
In the city? Gotta go with the Wildwood trail, but the good stuff is in the Gorge.
WTF? Well...did you ever put your nose on Furyo...and was I right about it? It's nuclear. Cheers!
Shit I’m late 🤦🏿
Nah, it’s cool...our next AMA is tentatively scheduled for mid 2025, so we’ll get to your question then.
