Smell Ya Later

Smell Ya Later is hosted by beauty writers Tynan Sinks and Sable Yong, both with backgrounds in mainstream beauty media. The show's angle is broader than most fragrance podcasts in this directory: rather than treating scent purely as fine fragrance to review, it treats smell as a cultural and memory-linked phenomenon, ranging across perfume, candles, home fragrance, and the smells tied to specific places or eras.

Verified genuinely active, not just historically popular: checked via its Apple Podcasts listing on 6 July 2026, the most recent episode ('What went down at Hotel Smell Ya Later?') was published six days prior, with a clear weekly run before that - 'Fake fans and the Fifis' (23 June), 'So many mist opportunities...' (16 June), 'You can't just say cologne is genderless' (2 June), and a guest episode with fragrance consultant Sofie Pavitt (26 May). The show has been running since 2020 and has passed 238 episodes, including a widely cited yearly tradition of 'Official Scent Predictions' for the year ahead (the 2026 edition ran as Episode 217 in December 2025). The hosts have also run in-person meetups, including a 2026 scent-swap event that drew around 115 attendees.

This is a US show through and through - hosts, guests, retailers and cultural references are American - so UK readers should read it for its cultural-commentary angle on scent rather than as a source of UK-relevant buying advice.
