Les Oderants

This week we discuss Aldehydes. What are they? What are they used for? And why do they smell like being poor? There’s a lot going on in this episode, but key takeaways are the tips on how to smell like a Russian mobster, a 90s rubberised mascot or washed up X-Factor winner.

This week we are back to top off the Turinquisition, where we have a sniff of some 5 star rated perfumes from Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez's "The Guide" and explain why they are wrong. join us as we have very little agreement on anything, learn all about Dan's otter-like physique, his grandfathers love for the smell of the British countryside and Fliss introoduces us to the descriptor, "Yums".

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 are joined by Fliss to take a look at the work of Luca Turin and his wife Tania Sanchez. We've collected a bunch of five star fragrances and we discuss whether or not we think they are deserving! Also this week, Dan goes shopping for dodgy bottles of Sauvage in Turkey and we all discover the legend of Butterstumps.

This week we actually got a listener question, so what did we do? Spun it out into a full episode topic, of course! Tune in to find out what the best perfume to wear with knee high socks and sandals is, or what to wear to an Iron Maiden gig. You know, important things like that. Also, we peek into the wonderful world of a snake oil, slash, pheromone salesman and talk a bit about their disgusting mulch of a business.

Welcome to the Les Oderants film review podcast! No not really, but this week we're talking about perfumes in popular culture. At least sometime's we're talking about that. We also get our nose on a couple of samples, one of which we all seem to agree on which is possibly a first, James passes out his favourite Mexican food recipe and Dan tries to hold the whole thing together with his head in is hands.

This week Dan calls in from a Mongolian phone box to chat with Ben and James about perfumers! Who got mad game and who ain't nuttin' but a name. Is Morillas a genius, a pound shop perfumer or the fragrance Nicholas Cage? Also this week James made Putricine and warns us all not to eat it, whilst Dan spgrrrfshhhhhh... (Seriously though, Dan's audio got garbled sadly. We did what we could to salvage it and promise it won't happen again).

This week we're talking about the concepts behind the perfumes. Can a good concept make or break a good perfume, or is it all just a pile of pretentious guff, cooked up by an eccentric during a fever dream? From historical Navy battles to the sterility of the 9-5 workplace, there's seemingly a concept that can appeal to anyone, but is that really a good thing? There's also a remarkable number of perfumes that try to conjure up our filthy bits, what's that all about? Also, why it's important to listen to Pappy Houdini, Ben sings the praises of the new Zoologist and Dan throws down the gauntlet to any potential sponsors who may wish to send us to Esxence 2023 so he can stop watching through the window like a Victorian orphan.

This week is all about Hermes. Is it just thee best house of all time? Yes, no, maybe, but one thing is for certain, JCE put in a jolly good effort during his time as the in house perfumer. Is Christine Nagel up to filling his boots, and would they even look good on her, anyway? Also, Ben eats his words RE: Floraiku, Dan stinks his house out with ultra-Kouros candles and James wows us all with his bargain bin masterpiece.

This week we talk about wood and what wood smells like. Surprisingly, it smells more like public toilets than you might imagine. We make lots of jokes about having wood, sniffing wood and awkwardly inserting innuendo into as many sentences as possible because we're tedious bores. We also have a good chat about Eau Givree, the new Terre d'Hermes flanker.
