This week we’re one Ode down and tearing into the history of fifty years of perfume without the arbiter. I know, unthinkable. We’re playing a fun game, picking two fragrances from each decade from the 1980s to the 2020s, and doing our best to utilise our meerkat-like attention spans to keep it original.

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're digging down into what does or does not equate to success in perfumery and just how much luck is involved with a commercial success and how exactly that is achieved. Of course, we have no idea.

This week we're looking into the house of Louis Vuitton, a bit of a frag fan favourite, and doing our best to give them the Les Odes treatment. James also assaults us all with a brisk full 21, whilst Fliss Dan and Ben prey for death to come swiftly.

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?

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 joined by Fliss to have a look at seven mystery perfumes and deciding whether or not we think they're expensive or cheap, good or bad, and then blowing our minds when we find out the truth behind the smells.

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.
