204. BRIAN PARK [COMEDIAN] ~ If He Can Pronounce Loewe, He Smells Like:

Comedian, writer, and Accidental PerfumeTok King™ Brian Park is in the Perfume Room today! You likely know him from his viral TikTok series where he satirizes 'taste bros' who use consumerism in lieu of developing a personality. Vids of his like 'POV: you're on a date with a guy who has Aesop soap in his bathroom' have garnered millions of views and have platformed him to an entirely unexpected corner of the Internet - PerfumeTok. Today we chat about the persona, who inspired it, what he's actually wearing off screen, and the woes and joys that come with the territory of being deeply entrenched in an Internet niche.FOLLOW BRIAN: @itsbrianpark @middlebrowpodSOTD: Commes des Garcons Sticky CakeSMELL CLUB: ylan.eventbrite.comBOOK A PRIVATE STYLING SESSION WITH ME @ STELE: stele.nyc/emma (MARCH 22 OR 27!)*********Thank you to our sponsor: Commodity!SHOP THE ARCHIVES!https://commodityfragrances.com/products/archive-collection-discovery-kit15% OFF: code PERFUMEROOM15 now-March 17(valid for all orders $35+)*********FRAGS MENTIONED: CdG Sticky Cake, Diesel Plus Plus Feminine, Astrophil Paris Cheri, Universal Flowering: Poems One Through Twelve, Saffron Flour; Arquiste Almond Suede, Marissa Zappas Pink Bedroom, Perfumer H Ink, CdG Blackpepper, Bleu de Chanel, YSL Babycat, Le Labo: Another 13, The Matcha 26; Toskovat Inexcusable Evil, Le Labo Gaiac 10, Escentric Molecules: M01, M01 + Iris, M01 + Champaca; Le Père par Blaise Mautin, Creed Aventus Absolu, Penhaligon's Halfeti, Nasomatto Black Afgano
