This week we dig into lists and make some of our own, lists for going to the zoo, going on a date and lists for taking your bins out. If all that doesn’t sound exciting, we also discover the colour of our bins, where the most central location in the UK is, and who you should call should you wish to get with the program and move there. Contain yourself. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben:...

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. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff    During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review. We will, at all times, be...

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.  You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss:...

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...

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. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff    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...

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. You can contact us via email at...

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. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss:...

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. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff    During the show we may mention perfumes that were...

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.  You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff    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...

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. You can contact us via email...

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. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss:...

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. You can contact us via...

This week Dan, James, Fliss and B*Delicious are back with the fragrance chat that is so hard, it makes one say oh my god. We’re primarily sniffing perfumes from the House of Mammoth this week, an indie brand from the US of A. We’re also joined by a very special pre-school guest, deliberate whether or not Fliss lives in a haunted house and question just how many stuffed toys it takes to hold a world record. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan:...

Hello everyone, we are back for season 3 of Les Oderants! In this first episode we catch up with al the things we have been sniffing over the summer break, including a handful of new releases ad a host of old favourites. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd Ben: talking_scents Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review. We will, at all times, be completely...

This week we are sniffing the works of Chronotope, a perfume house that is absolutely not your run of the mill smelly water. We also discuss bargain Zara, Dans trip to the omegascope (or whatever it was) and we also mention Kumquats once or twice. Say it with me, kumquat. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd Ben: talking_scents Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff During the show we may mention perfumes that were...

This week it’s all about MASTERPIECES, what we think the word means, what we think it doesn’t mean and what we think actually deserves the title. There’s very few and even less that we actually agree on, but I think it’s fair to say that Bergamask is not it. Sorry brendan. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff    During the show we may mention perfumes that...

This week we are talking about a diverse selection of raw perfume materials kindly sent to us by Harry Sherwood of Artiscent who you can find over on Instagram @harrisonsherwood. We discuss what they smell like to us, why they make us wretch, how they smell like airfix models, cheap air hostess uniforms or send us on nostalgic scent daydreams of our times breaking fingers on the lacrosse pitch in secondary school. Dan also gives us all a live behind the scenes look into his perfume brands...

This week we are talking about snobbery in perfume in all its forms and asking the question of ourselves, are we all snobs too? Turns out most of us are quite happy to accept we partake in a little snobbery, at least from time to time. Ben turns violent, Dan dismisses the plebs outright, Fliss opines on the anti-panty (dropper) and James explains how he feels he is a better horse rider than you whilst filling us all in on interesting things to do with certain members of your family. You can...

This week we are talking about the things that really grind our gears in perfumery. From Aventus batch fiends and casual flexing to the misogyny ploughed by influencers, we’ve got it all. Aside from hours of bile spewed across the airwaves, we have many stories which I’m fairly sure cannot be previewed here without breaking rules somewhere… You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd Ben: talking_scents Fliss:...

This week we are mostly talking about Patchouli, the scent of all good quality silk shawls and dingy skag dens the world over. We have six different patchouli perfume materials, kindly sent to us by Harry Sherwood of Artiscent who you can find over on Instagram @harrisonsherwood, and we dig into each one and waffle about what we like and dislike along with their usage in perfumery. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James:...

This week, courtesy of Brooke from Sainte Cellier, we are taking a look at the US based perfume house founded by Christophe Laudamiel, Zoo Perfumes. It’s an utterly unique collection of scents, creative, divisive and perfectly insane, which means we just about fail to agree on every single one. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:   Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd   Ben: talking_scents   Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff    During the show we may...

This week we are digging into some of our guilty pleasures when it comes to perfume collecting. Well, James is happy to go a little broader than that, but mostly perfume collecting. First though we have to define what a guilty pleasure actually is and it turns out we don't all perfectly agree on that one. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd Ben: talking_scents Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff During the show we may...

This week is all about collecting. Why? What? How? and lot’s of other questions of tangential relevance. We discuss perfume collecting from as many angles as we can possibly think and unleash upon the world clear evidence of our neurosis. Come along. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd Ben: talking_scents Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review. We...

This week we are taking a close look at the Amouage Exceptional Extraits collection. Are Amouage’s hyper-oil remakes of some of their old classics a hype train worth riding into the sunset, or a cynical rehash designed to rinse the diehard fans of their cold, hard cash? This week you can also find out which one of the gang likes to wear thigh high boots whilst shearing sheep and where you need to go to get hold of such material. You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via...
