Les Oderants

This week, we go back to the books of Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez and dig up some of the 1 and 2 star perfumes in order to give our definitive takes on how far off the mark they really are. Or aren't. But probably are.

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 go back to the noughties and walk through a decade of perfume, our own experiences of perfume collecting and a whole lot of ket. Dan settled down, Fliss went off the rails, and Ben and James more or less just carried on with business as usual. Was the entire decade dominated by Terre d’Hermes? The answer is yes.

Following on from last episodes £200 shopping challenge, we decided to talk through all the listeners lists that Fliss lovingly compiled in a ginormous spreadsheet. We also discover who Dan had a fantasy affair with and what perfumer is most like Enya.

Special thank to Ty and Danielle for their monstrous lists, meticulous organisation and keen ability to calculate an average. You can catch both of them over on Instagram: @perfumehaiku & @onefragranceatatime. If you want to get involved with your own list, the hashtag is #lesodes200

This week we set ourselves a challenge. Build a collection for a muggle with a budget of £200. A handful of arbitrary rules were put in place, and most were promptly broken.

We're back from our brief Christmas and New Years hiatus with an episode rammed full of all the random bits and pieces we've been sniffing over the holidays. James has a full 4987, we discuss a handful of new samples supplied by Dan (perfume sample, you sicko) and Ben and Fliss celebrate losing their sense of smell and not resigning to jumping off cliffs, climbing up buildings or strapping an orange in their mouths with a pair of old tights.

This week we tackle a big one, with the house of Guerlain. A task that more or less guarantees us to please no one with our opinions. We also have a little look at the Scentiest Awards, recently attended by Fliss, which we didn’t win, except we did. We won. Everything.

This week we are looking at the perfume house of Memo, dipping into a discovery set and not beating around too many bushes whilst discussing our thoughts.

In true fashionably late style, this week we’re doing our Halloween episode and talking about fragrances of a most dark nature. Buckle in whilst we talk about what makes a fragrance dark or spooky and whether or not horrific perfumes with notes of gore and filth have any value as a perfume at all. We also chat about solimilks, boofing and.. Well, yes mostly boofing. To be honest, the whole episode is more or less about boofing if you think about it hard enough.

This week we are discussing Parfums Dusita! We have the entire discovery set to work our way through, so join us as we go on an epic, probably overly long, tear down of the brand. We also spend far too long discussing Strictly and the fall of modern society, why James cosplayed as Hagrid and how to project your Kouros like a true Alpha.

This week, in a disturbingly personal episode, we’re talking about all things fragrant from the 1990s. Having much of our seminal years based in the decade of androgynous freshies, lads mags, impulse body sprays and rubbing ourselves with the pages of magazines is possibly a good explanation of why we are like we are. No apologies. Dan and Fliss also chat about their group outing to the perfume counters of London and discuss the disturbing effect of Henry Jacques.
