Fume Chat

This week, Thomas and Nick are taking listener's questions - queries that range from book recommendations to the phenomenon of copycat perfumes. It's an informative one, folks! If you want to ask us a question, drop us a line and we may answer it on a future episode.

This week's topic is flankers - those fragrances that share the names, bottles and olfactory profiles of other existing scents. Think of them as smelly sequels! Are flankers good? Can they be a bit annoying? Can they even be better than the fragrance they are flankering? Tune in to find out!

This week, Thomas and Nick discuss the fragrance families and ask themselves whether terms like "fougère" and "chypre" are fit for purpose in this day and age. Do they mean anything to consumers? do they represent they way fragrances smell? Are terms like "oriental" offensive? Listen and you'll find out!

It's battle time once again and in this episode, Thomas and Nick are joined by guest judge Nigel Dunckley (Thomas' lovely yet long-suffering husband) in a fragrant fight of their favourite Eau de Colognes.

What is an Eau de Cologne? What fragrances do Thomas and Nick choose? Who is victorious? Will Thomas and Nigel still be married by the end of the episode? All this (and more) is answered in Fume Chat: Attack of the Colognes.
