196: Can you smell the difference between indie and big oil house-made perfumes?

Not to be contentious, but... what do people think "indie" even means? What does mass mean? And is who they're made by indicative of the quality of fragrance? It's a question making the rounds amongst the fraghead forums, and it's a question that calls for investigation of how our fragrances are being made, who influences their formulas, and what resources are available to whom?

Also! How would we downsize our perfume collection (if we had to, which we don't — thank god), in response to a listener's question.

Also, also! a few new things we've been smelling this past week :)

[What we smell like today: D'orsay Sur Tes Levres, Sarah Baker Pastel Rumours]
