Les Oderants les oderants

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.

James: houdini_sotd

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 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 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.

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.
