Les Oderants

This week we're looking at a bunch of quotes from perfumers that make up the so called "ten rules of wearing fragrance." How many do we agree with, are we actually a bunch of mavericks and are rules for fools, anyway?You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: 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 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.

We are back (finally), this week with an episode all about leather perfumes. From the refined saddle leathers, to the rough cowboy jackets and on to the farmyard, we exam the spectrum and discus what it all means. We also talk about third base, what this means and discuss the boundaries and limits ad absolutely none of this has anything to do with perfumes. Third dates on the other hand...

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 Dan, Fliss & Ben are joined once again by Pattie, who is standing in for James, who is off playing tennis or something. We spend a fair bit of time talking about Dans new BFF, before digging into a listener suggestion: Fantasy Briefs! basically, we can pick one perfumer and commission them to make our perfect perfume, who is it, and what perfume are they making? Much nonsense as you might expect.

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.

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!You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   

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?

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.

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. You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   

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.You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review.

Hallelujah! It's turning autumn, the skies are grey, the air is cold... So it's time for an autumn list right? WRONG!

This week we're taking a look at naming conventions in perfumery, from some of the absolute worst to some that are actually interesting and some that are even poetic. Mostly they're all just heinous though.You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review.

This week we’re one Ode down and tearing into the history of fifty years of perfume without the arbiter. I know, unthinkable. We’re playing a fun game, picking two fragrances from each decade from the 1980s to the 2020s, and doing our best to utilise our meerkat-like attention spans to keep it original. You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review.

This week we're digging down into what does or does not equate to success in perfumery and just how much luck is involved with a commercial success and how exactly that is achieved. Of course, we have no idea.You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review.

This week we're looking into the house of Louis Vuitton, a bit of a frag fan favourite, and doing our best to give them the Les Odes treatment. James also assaults us all with a brisk full 21, whilst Fliss Dan and Ben prey for death to come swiftly.You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review.
