This week we’re digging deep into the world of flankers! Good ones, bad ones, some as big as your head. What are the flanker trends, where is it all going and are flankers always just rubbish? These questions and more await in the wonderful world of the Odes. We also take a little time to discuss the new website and Fragrantica contender FragPlace.com and it’s alright, y’know.

This week we’re looking into the dark seedy underbelly of Instagram and a peculiar letter received by Dan this week, from an account named United PR Teams. Who are these people, are they a fragcomm vigilante, here to save the day, or are they simply a bitter, dejected failed influencer, angry at everyone else for getting that bag. Who knows. Not us. But join us as we dig into their complaints and tee them up. You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_...

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.

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 Mance...

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 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.

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.

In true fashionably late style, this week we’re doing our Halloween episode and talking about fragrances of a most dark nature. Buckle in whilst we talk about what makes a fragrance dark or spooky and whether or not horrific perfumes with notes of gore and filth have any value as a perfume at all. We also chat about solimilks, boofing and.. Well, yes mostly boofing. To be honest, the whole episode is more or less about boofing if you think about it hard enough.
