Just Thinkin' About Dupes and Dudes

We've been so excited to discuss the newest release from Paraphrase Perfumes, Fruit Thieves, which was totally worth all the customs delays. Thanks to Josh who kindly sent it to us as a gift. We also dip our toes in the water of the ever-present topic of dupes and how they play into the manosphere and Reddit sales. As fun as that seems, most of this episode is heavy on Parfum d'Empire as we talk about a few we've been testing and really enjoying. Plus, our scents of the week and pretty solid round of The Game.
