This week is all about Hermes. Is it just thee best house of all time? Yes, no, maybe, but one thing is for certain, JCE put in a jolly good effort during his time as the in house perfumer. Is Christine Nagel up to filling his boots, and would they even look good on her, anyway? Also, Ben eats his words RE: Floraiku, Dan stinks his house out with ultra-Kouros candles and James wows us all with his bargain bin masterpiece.

This week we talk about wood and what wood smells like. Surprisingly, it smells more like public toilets than you might imagine. We make lots of jokes about having wood, sniffing wood and awkwardly inserting innuendo into as many sentences as possible because we're tedious bores. We also have a good chat about Eau Givree, the new Terre d'Hermes flanker.

This week we're talking about things that stink. Are perfumes that smell of all sorts of bodily excretions really so wrong, or as Frédéric Malle puts it, do we all just need a little more humour? That's the big discussion for part two, after we talk about the risks of perfumes being named after cities, the wonderful scent of Professor Burps Bubbleworks and Dan and James discuss the D.

This week we're talking about Gourmands. Where does one draw the line between vanilla cake and something worth investigating? Ben and Dan play James's new game: Gourmand or Not? And most unusually, there seems to be something of a consensus at the end of it all. We promise not to do it again.

This week on Les Oderants, what is "Niche"? Has the word become utterly meaningless? Could Dan's recording this week be considered Niche Quality, or did he just record the wrong mic? Big questions. Also, how to smell like Princess Di, James confesses his love for Aventus clones and Dan explains the best way to apply Kouros.

This week we're back with a spicy discussion on what we think is underrated Vs what we think is overrated. Is anything really underrated or overrated? And what do the two terms mean anyway? Do we figure it all out? Of course not. Also some chat about Aventus because Aventus and Roja fights back. Remember when I said we promise to make the episodes shorter in future? We lied.

This week we're talking about the humble Chypre. What is it, or rather, is it anything at all? Is anything really true anymore? Not according to Dan, who has his Fougere worldview broken to pieces by James. We also discuss the news of a new Terre d'Hermes flanker and shill Zaharoff like the good bunch of influencers we are. And yes, that was sarcasm. You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd Ben: talking_scents During the sh...

In this episode, we discuss the house of Christian Dior and make our arguments for their most important perfume release. If that sounds like a daunting task, wait til you hear the perfumes actually chosen... We also talk a bit about Memo's new release and why we already don't like it and discuss the scent of an over-ripe peach. Say it with me one more time, an over-ripe peach.

This week we're talking about vintages! What's so special about oak-moss and what the hell is IFRA anyway? We wax poetic about Kouros, which is apparently everyones dads perfume, and ask the important question, is everything old inherently good, or is modern perfumery just a load of old guff?

Welcome to the first episode of Les Oderants! Kicking us off this week is bit of news about a couple of perfumes that Dan hates and then we move on to our main discussion, is anything worth anything? Perfume can be expensive, but is it really worth it? How do you decide the value of a perfume anyway and does a bottle of toilet duck really smell any better or worse than a cowshed? Intriguing stuff. Perfumes mentioned in the main discussion on this episode were: Rubeus Milano - Blue Royal Crown - ...
