This week we're looking at a bunch of quotes from perfumers that make up the so called "ten rules of wearing fragrance." How many do we agree with, are we actually a bunch of mavericks and are rules for fools, anyway?

During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review. We will, at all times, be completely transparent about this when it is the case and I hope you'll come to trust us enough to see that whatever the method of acquisition, we will always speak our own minds about said perfume and/or house.

This week we wrap up 2023 with a little Christmas episode, chat a bit about our top loves and disappointments of the year, our hopes and dreams and all things inbetween. Quite a lot of the inbetween actually, including Dan crooning to his dog, Fliss’s new job as a pimp and a showdown between Phil Spector and James Brown.

Yes, you did reads that right, this week we are doing perhaps our most ridiculous episode, top 5 fragrances to take to prison. Initially we believed that it would be a shorter episode for a bit of fun, as James was away on his stag do in Amsterdam, but the world in 2025 is a funny old place...

This week we’re digging deep into the world of flankers! Good ones, bad ones, some as big as your head. What are the flanker trends, where is it all going and are flankers always just rubbish? These questions and more await in the wonderful world of the Odes. We also take a little time to discuss the new website and Fragrantica contender FragPlace.com and it’s alright, y’know.

This week we’re looking into the dark seedy underbelly of Instagram and a peculiar letter received by Dan this week, from an account named United PR Teams. Who are these people, are they a fragcomm vigilante, here to save the day, or are they simply a bitter, dejected failed influencer, angry at everyone else for getting that bag. Who knows. Not us. But join us as we dig into their complaints and tee them up.

Welcome back to Les Oderants, it's been a long January, but we're finally back with a bit of a Christmas catch up and then a little bit of debate in the second half as to whether or not we believe there is too much perfume in teh world. Can there really be such a thing?

We're back with our final episode of the year, where we discuss new releases from Strangelove, Amouage and give a few wishes and predictions for 2025. We also discuss the shame of enjoying Roja and Henry Jacques, the joy of double entendre and you get to hear one of the more hideous examples of Silent Night. Merry Christmas, Happy New year, Happy Holidays and thanks for listening in 2024. Have a good one.

This week we are talking all about the circle of frag, does it exist, is it happening, why do we all smell like cake and why fragrances are all part of the boom bust cycle. Basically, we have all the answers. To everything. We're joined this week by Tom, AKA thescentiest of Instagram fame and The Scentiest Awards.

This week we have a very special guest joining us in the form of The Duck, AKA Rich Mitch for a discussion on designer fragrances and whether or not they're dead.
