#267 - Vintage Polo (Forbus Tribute Episode)

The Cologne Podcast

When a voicemail can transport you back in time, you know you've found something truly special. That's what happened when we listened to the last message from our dear friend Forbus; laughter mixed with tears as we remembered his humor and warmth. This episode is a tribute to his legacy, exploring the powerful connection between fragrance and memory as we revisit the vintage Ralph Lauren Polo that Forbus cherished. We're also humbled by the overwhelming generosity that you, our listeners, have shown in supporting Forbus's family through the GoFundMe campaign.
There's a certain magic in the way a scent can capture someone's essence, and Forbus was like an old-school cologne—bold, complex, and unforgettable. Through shared anecdotes and life lessons, we honor the man who could make us laugh with his quirky misnaming of perfumes, and who taught us, by example, the importance of expressing our love and appreciation for friends while they're still with us. Even as we recommend 'Hit the Mark' from Mint for its chocolate and mint notes—and for the lovely ladies in your life—we're reminded how Forbus's favorite fragrances mirrored his tough but gentle heart.
Closing this episode, we feel Forbus's absence in the studio, his unique dynamic irreplaceable. We recall the laughter and the unfinished plans we had with him, and we are comforted, in part, by the messages of love and support from our Patreon community. His natural charisma and the joy he brought to all of us continue to inspire every episode. So join us as we celebrate Forbus, a friend who left an indelible mark on our hearts and on this show, ensuring that his memory lives on through every story we share and every fragrance we savor.
