Join us on a heartwarming holiday edition of the Cologne Podcast as we reminisce about fragrances tied to personal memories and reveal our Santa wish list. With the festive season upon us, we're here to sprinkle a dash of joy into your day, whether you're knee-deep in holiday shopping or savoring the sweet aroma of freshly baked pies. From tales of lost fathers and found fragrances to the friendly banter over the much-debated Crystal Saffron Extrait, this episode is a fragrant blend of nostalgia and laughter.
hello everybody, welcome to a very festive cologne podcast I'm mike, I'm ryan.
Myke:We're two best friends. We're going on a festive fragrance journey and giving you our wish list to santee yeah, before we get into that, we're just gonna make this quick.
Ryan:We have a lot going on. You guys have a lot going on.
Myke:It's the holidays a lot going on. It's the holidays. The last thing you want to do is spend 30 minutes sitting in this room with us. You've got Christmas shopping to do, you've got cakes to bake and pies to eat. So we thought we'd make a quick episode One just to tell you Merry Christmas. Hope you're spending time with family and those that you love and those that you probably you know maybe you got an in-law that you don't love. You're spending time with them too. But also we want to tell you what we're hoping to get in our stocking from Santa Claus. Yeah, I'll let you go first. I would love and this is just a stab in the back to Steve out there I would love the X-Drate version of Crystal Saffron.
Ryan:Yeah, we, the Clone Podcast, love the original Crystal Saffron, yes, which is an EDP. Yeah, I mean it's super loud and maybe that's been kind of your hang-up. It's like you feel like it's a little too much.
Myke:It smells great, but it's too much, yeah, and I feel like the X-Straight would be dialed back just enough for my tender sensibilities, but Steve even though we're trying to be festive, is trying to be the Grinch this year, yeah, and telling us that it sucks.
Myke:Yeah, he bought a partial. And look, steve, I love you, I really do. I may like you better than Ryan. It's true, you're like a brother to me, but sometimes brothers fight yeah, this is one of them. And you didn't like Versace, eros Energy, you didn't think that Insidious Absolute was as slapping as I thought. And now Crystal Saffron, that's three strikes. Baby, you're out of here. That's a baseball term for you UK guys out there. But he's like oh, you know, you're disqualified. You're disqualified, steve, your nose is broken.
Ryan:But we're going to hope that the X-ray version is one that's more tamed.
Myke:Yeah for sure, I don't trust your opinion.
Ryan:Mine Santa's already gave it to me. Yeah, and Santa goes by, mr Jonathan Bleep.
Myke:Well, you got to pay Santa Claus, don't you? Yeah, so paying Santa Claus.
Ryan:But he still found something really cool for me. Yeah, as you guys know, my father passed away this year Huge loss for not just me but for Mike. And one of my fragrances growing up that I smelled from my dad for years was the original Giorgio Beverly Hills for men fragrance, and Jonathan found an actual vintage 80s bottle of this shit. Yeah, and that is going to be a game changer for me and we promised to do an episode for him on it and that is coming.
Ryan:But I just wanted to say thank you to my secret Santa, basically Thank you for finding that and making it something obtainable and not something so high price and far fetched for me. But yeah, and to everybody out there this Christmas, I really hope that you are able to enjoy your time with loved ones, and for the ones that are not going to be here this year, especially for our first, these are the worst kind, but the first ones are hard to get through and so it's going to be tough, but I am thankful for the great people that we have in our corner Mike, jonathan, bleep, the rest of you, patreons, all your good people. We love you all.
Myke:Yeah, I'll be your daddy, Thanks.
Ryan:It's going to be a fun time, the best that we can all enjoy it. Obviously We've got the right people here to make things funny when they're down.
Myke:Yeah, for sure sometimes, when you don't have as much family, you kind of make up for it with your friends and I feel like you know I've been so close for so long that you're closer than family to me. You know, I have, I have family members that I don't even like, and then I got you Ryan.
Ryan:Well, the feeling is mutual and again, we're keeping this short and sweet. Yeah, we love you guys. We hope you have a great, safe and happy Merry Christmas and until next time, spray it up, y'all.
