Love it

So informative, interesting and amusing. This is laced through with wit and humour but also true expertise. I love learning g about the technical aspects behind perfumes. This is a must listen and I hope that Nick and Thomas return soon.

So thrilled Nick & Thomas are back for another series of Fume Chat. They’re just the most wonderful hosts - that enviable balance of great knowledge with oodles of humour. This is fun, fully accessible for anyone interested in fragrance, and I always learn something new as well.
