Les Oderants

We are back! Season seven, who;d have thought it. Not us that's for blinking sure... For our first episode ew are pretty much just having a long ramble catchup, with a lot of perfume gubbins mixed in. We'll be back with some more substantial chats from next episode we promise. Potentially.

This week it's our somewhat belated Season 6 finale, so we can all disappear and have a lovely summer holiday in peace. Except we won't do that because we're all grumpy and will spend every day sniffing perfume and moaning to all the people around us that don't care until we can get back for next season, and we can grumble to people who might actually care. Or might not. Either way, we'll be back, and we'll be grumbling no doubt. Until then have a good summer, don't accidentally burn down any woodland and have fun!

This week we check in with James to see what he thought of the Creed perfumes from LAST episode, have a sniff of a couple of interesting little things from christophe laudamiel and then kick back for a bit of fun digging up the trashiest most embarrassing perfumes in our collection.

This week! We are taking a bit of a dive into the house of Creed, which we are all very ashamed about. Seriously though, we thought with the recent passing of Mr Creed it was probably worth having a little sniff of the ol' house, especially since Dan seems to own the whole catalogue.

this week we are joined by Jess to sniff James's dirty little vials of suspect substances. We all have a lovely time, sniffing cheesy tobacco, eating grape sweets and talking loosely about perfume sometimes.

This week we rub our lamps and see what comes out. Except we know what comes out. Infinite juice. Five of them to be exact. We also talk about Dan being banned from LV, finally a positive instagram poster and whether or not something can be in eyeshot or earline. Fascinating stuff.

This week we're having a look at a listener question: Why do we hate the things we hate? Whilst we tuck in to what drives that, we look at authenticity, we mine some positives and Dan tells us all about his trip to the ultra niche festival in London.

This week Dan, Fliss & Ben are joined once again by Pattie, who is standing in for James whilst he goes and plays tennis or something. We spend a good bit of time talking about Dans new BFF, before moving on to a listener suggestion: Fantasy Briefs! What is the perfect perfume we would commission, and who would we commission to make it. Much nonsense as expected.

This week we are joined by Rich "The Duck" Mitch to have a wee loopback over master perfumer Francis Kurkdjians career and discuss precisely what he is doing at Dior. We also discuss categorisation and organisation and why Dan is a dirty heathen.

This week we're back with an episode fit for Spring. We take ourselves with putting together a neat little spring collection on a budget of £200 and here were our findings. Naturally we all cheated to one degree or another, but you know, it's the thought that counts.

This week we're joined by Patti, who's back again for a good catchup, a bit of ranting and a big decision when she chips in with the one hour that we would like to delete. Forever. Dan also talks about the new LV, Ben get's punished by Meo Fusciuni and Patti talks all about the joys of buying from eBay.

This week! We are taking a look at the house of MDCI with our collection of four sample packs, each with different scents, so we manage to get a pretty nice deep)ish) dive into the house! There's fun, excitement and foulsome peaches to be had for all. Enjoy!

We're back with a new season! Kicking things off we thought we'd dip our toes with a new year womble all about what we've been sniffing and buying since the end of season five, as well as all the usual off topic nonsense. Happy new season!

This week we're back with everybody's favourite, Fliss and her picks of 2025. It's probably the most fabulous of the bunch, naturally, but do we all love everything? What podcast do you think this is?!

This week we're back with the third of our 2025 roundup episodes, this time inspecting Dan's choices, all of which, were naturally the best thing any of us had ever smelt. Or perhaps not, but don't mention that to Dan.

We carry on with our picks of 2025, this week sniffing some of Bens most worn fragrances, including something which smells like a dried up zombie corpse (apparently).

This week we're having a look at a few perfumes that James has enjoyed or found interesting from this year, all of which go down very well indeed. We're also doing the normal bit of nonsense chat, including having a look at the proposed EU ban on ethanol, debating the morals of creating perfumes based on serial killers, and the smellmaxxxxing disaster that may (or may not) have led to a whole new chain of high street shops.

This week we sit down to discuss the big trends we noticed in perfumery for the year, as well as what we think might be coming over teh horizon for next year. Naturally it's all as silly as you might expect, and there's nothing of any seriousness at all. We also have a brief chat about essential parfums, the eternal question of pour femme and pour homme and dans perfume erection.

Hallelujah! It's turning autumn, the skies are grey, the air is cold... So it's time for an autumn list right? WRONG! Contrary as always, we talk about our favourite rainy day frags, and also our favourite sunny day ones too a little bit becuase why stick to the brief?

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.
