Do I Want To Smell Like Crotch, A Troll, and Dinner?

Welp, we can check off 2023 in the books. We've delivered our last episode of the year and now we can take a beat and look back over the past 12 months fondly. In the spirit of such things, we discuss our favorite releases from this year, a few disappointments, and continued thoughts on Matiere Premiere's Vanilla Powder. Do you want trend predictions for 2024 and beyond? Great! You're getting some! Along with a revelation from Jeff, a nod to the Gloam life from Jane, and a round of The Game that sends us way too deep into Hagrid's cabin. Saddle up, Clean Boys and Clean Dudes, It's going to be a long ride!
