61. Vabbing, The Ultimate Indie Sleaze Perfume, and Why You Need to Stop Trying to Make Goblincore Happen (w/ Old Loser In Brooklyn, Mandy Lee!)

This week I am joined by your fave fashion analyst/tastemaker Mandy Lee, AKA Old Loser in Brooklyn. With over 400k TikTok followers, Mandy has played a pivotal role in both setting and predicting so many trends, perhaps most notably, the ever-loved Indie Sleaze, which we obviously scent. From Cottagecore to Coquette, we also discuss the perfect fragrance for every trending e-aesthetic. And you knew it was coming; separately, Mandy has been very high on Perfumetok’s radar in the last month for a different reason— a viral video she made (and has since taken down) about vabbing. Yep, this is the vabbing episode. Since posting, Mandy has not spoken out about that video and the life it took on— UNTIL NOW.
