We're back with our final episode of the year, where we discuss new releases from Strangelove, Amouage and give a few wishes and predictions for 2025. We also discuss the shame of enjoying Roja and Henry Jacques, the joy of double entendre and you get to hear one of the more hideous examples of Silent Night. Merry Christmas, Happy New year, Happy Holidays and thanks for listening in 2024. Have a good one.

This week we are talking all about the circle of frag, does it exist, is it happening, why do we all smell like cake and why fragrances are all part of the boom bust cycle. Basically, we have all the answers. To everything. We're joined this week by Tom, AKA thescentiest of Instagram fame and The Scentiest Awards.

This week we have a very special guest joining us in the form of The Duck, AKA Rich Mitch for a discussion on designer fragrances and whether or not they're dead. We also touch on Raleigh bikes we wanted when we were kids, influencers and whether or not you had a proper education judged by your knowledge of Look & Read.

Welcome back to everyone’s favourite movie podcast where we also talk about perfumes (sometimes). This week we’re having a little look at four different ROja Dove perfumes, talking about what to watch on Netflix and stalking Tony Bellew in the Ralph Lauren outlet.

This week we had the joy of sampling a whole selection of vintage Guerlain perfumes courtesy of The Duck, who was kind enough to send us a lovely snapshot of some of his collection. We also talked a little about the joys and pitfalls of collecting vintage perfumes, old socks and the vintage cloud. In other news, we also discussed the many uses of BluRoll.

Today we talk about what we talk about when we talk about Autumn. Do you? don't you? Hmm, isn't it? There's also reports from our holidays; redundancies, metal detectors and the last memories of those sweet summer smells before the darkness sets in. Enjoy!

We're wrapping up this season with a discussion on which frags are unsellable to us and why that might, or, as is often the case, why they might not actually be. We also dabble in ASMR which we may branch out into full time next season if you're lucky.

This week we decide to take over the universe and create a dystopian fragrance future where Berty Douche and an army of Jean Claude Ellena clones compete with Alberto Morillas to see if they can outpace his phenomenal output. You know, just the usual fragrance content.

This week we're returning to the Summer fragrance theme to finish off what we started last episode. We also get très romantique and discuss wedding fragrances, and whether or not you should wear something a little bit fancy for that special day.

These week we're back, with one man down, to chat about what we've been wearing along with a discussion on some of our choices for our summer wardrobes. Dan asked us to choose five, so of course we all picked a different number, except Dan, who had only five. Plus some "honourable mentions." So, not five then. Fliss, as usual, further refined the discussion by coming up with a host of subcategories that she pulled from a spreadsheet, no doubt, and Ben let the whole team down by including a Mancera. Shame.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
