37 - Chronotope

Les Oderants ·

2023/07/12

This week we are sniffing the works of Chronotope, a perfume house that is absolutely not your run of the mill smelly water. We also discuss bargain Zara, Dans trip to the omegascope (or whatever it was) and we also mention Kumquats once or twice. Say it with me, kumquat.

36 - Bergamasterpiece

Les Oderants ·

2023/06/27

This week it’s all about MASTERPIECES, what we think the word means, what we think it doesn’t mean and what we think actually deserves the title. There’s very few and even less that we actually agree on, but I think it’s fair to say that Bergamask is not it. Sorry brendan.

35 - Fruity Materials

Les Oderants ·

2023/06/05

This week we are talking about a diverse selection of raw perfume materials kindly sent to us by Harry Sherwood of Artiscent who you can find over on Instagram @harrisonsherwood. We discuss what they smell like to us, why they make us wretch, how they smell like airfix models, cheap air hostess uniforms or send us on nostalgic scent daydreams of our times breaking fingers on the lacrosse pitch in secondary school. Dan also gives us all a live behind the scenes look into his perfume brands

34 - Perfume Snobbery

Les Oderants ·

2023/05/21

This week we are talking about snobbery in perfume in all its forms and asking the question of ourselves, are we all snobs too? Turns out most of us are quite happy to accept we partake in a little snobbery, at least from time to time. Ben turns violent, Dan dismisses the plebs outright, Fliss opines on the anti-panty (dropper) and James explains how he feels he is a better horse rider than you whilst filling us all in on interesting things to do with certain members of your family.

33 - The Things What We Don't Like

Les Oderants ·

2023/05/11

This week we are talking about the things that really grind our gears in perfumery. From Aventus batch fiends and casual flexing to the misogyny ploughed by influencers, we’ve got it all. Aside from hours of bile spewed across the airwaves, we have many stories which I’m fairly sure cannot be previewed here without breaking rules somewhere… You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd Ben: talking_scents Fliss:

32 - All About Patchouli

Les Oderants ·

2023/04/23

This week we are mostly talking about Patchouli, the scent of all good quality silk shawls and dingy skag dens the world over. We have six different patchouli perfume materials, kindly sent to us by Harry Sherwood of Artiscent who you can find over on Instagram @harrisonsherwood, and we dig into each one and waffle about what we like and dislike along with their usage in perfumery.

31 - Zoo Perfumes

Les Oderants ·

2023/04/09

This week, courtesy of Brooke from Sainte Cellier, we are taking a look at the US based perfume house founded by Christophe Laudamiel, Zoo Perfumes. It’s an utterly unique collection of scents, creative, divisive and perfectly insane, which means we just about fail to agree on every single one.

30 - Guilty Pleasures

Les Oderants ·

2023/03/26

This week we are digging into some of our guilty pleasures when it comes to perfume collecting. Well, James is happy to go a little broader than that, but mostly perfume collecting. First though we have to define what a guilty pleasure actually is and it turns out we don't all perfectly agree on that one.

29 - Perfume Collecting

Les Oderants ·

2023/03/12

This week is all about collecting. Why? What? How? and lot’s of other questions of tangential relevance. We discuss perfume collecting from as many angles as we can possibly think and unleash upon the world clear evidence of our neurosis. Come along. You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram: Dan: fragrance_weirdo James: houdini_sotd Ben: talking_scents Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff During the show we may mention perfumes that were sent to us for review.

28 - Amouage Exceptional Extraits

Les Oderants ·

2023/02/27

This week we are taking a close look at the Amouage Exceptional Extraits collection. Are Amouage’s hyper-oil remakes of some of their old classics a hype train worth riding into the sunset, or a cynical rehash designed to rinse the diehard fans of their cold, hard cash? This week you can also find out which one of the gang likes to wear thigh high boots whilst shearing sheep and where you need to go to get hold of such material.

27 - Are we in a Perfume Golden Age?

Les Oderants ·

2023/02/13

This week we have a little look at the world around us and take on the question, are we living in a perfume Golden Age? With such an abundance of choice from such a diverse range of creatives, are we spoiled for choice, or is there really just an endless river of dross flowing through our nostrils, drowning us in a mountain of influencers' broken dreams? We also catch up with what we’ve been wearing as usual, including a little bit of ol’ Franky, some geranium numbers and a perfume that smells like

26 - Strangelove Perfumes

Les Oderants ·

2023/01/30

The Les O's are back for another year and another season! This episode we've got the new season bounce, giving it high energy and taking the time to dig into a few perfumes, Chen Noir by Bedeaux and Des Cendres by Les Abstraites feature in the first half and then we dig in for a sniff-a-long of the Strangelove discovery set, a group of perfumes which are, if nothing else, incredibly interesting.

BONUS - A Not So Full, Full Fourteen

Les Oderants ·

2023/01/08

Whilst we're all away on holiday here in the Les Oderants HQ, James is demonstrating how he is a true creature of habit, crawling the walls looking for people to listen to his full fourteen. So to that end, here is the full fourteen for Dec/Jan to tide you over until we all return. Cheers.

25 - Festive Jambaroo

Les Oderants ·

2022/12/21

In this episode we look back on a fantastically fragrant year of podcasting. We reminisce on our favourite rants, answer James’s quiz questions and pick our top fragrance release of the year. It all sounds very organised when you put it like that, but don’t expect too much, it is a Jambaroo, after all. We’ll be back in the new year, but until then, thanks for listening this year and Happy Holidays everyone. You can contact us via email at lesoderants@gmail.com or via Instagram: Dan:

23 - Archetypal Perfumes (Part 1)

Les Oderants ·

2022/11/27

This week we are discussing the archetypal perfume from several genres which means that naturally, our choices almost never align with one single perfume, completely going against the episodes topic. But that's why we're mavericks. Much like one of Dan's favourite perfumers who get's probably the one and only ever mention in Les Oderants history. Also, don't tell Fliss what to do, especially not if it involves a Triathlon. Perfumes are definitely not her real dad. You can contact us via email at

22 - House Cup: Chanel

Les Oderants ·

2022/11/13

This week we're digging into another house to decide what is their absolute, most important perfume of all time. Only it's Chanel, so there can be only one answer. Or maybe four? Well Dan's officiating, so there is only one, but it's not the right one. Most importantly, what does Mavis down at the Chanel counter think?

21 - Trick or Treat

Les Oderants ·

2022/10/31

For Halloween we are having a little trick or treat party of our own. We each sent a perfume labelled trick and another labelled treat and to absolutely nobody's surprise, we talk a lot about them. There’s also more talk about Beaufort, much to Dans CHAGRIN, James reads his ode to Jezza and Black Tie and the whole crew talk about their utter hatred for Erba Pura.

20 - Leaf Droppers

Les Oderants ·

2022/10/17

This week we delve into the pits of self loathing and discuss our top 10 fall favourites. Well, sort of. We discuss Dan's expensive taste in autumn perfume, James's definitive taste in autumn perfume, Fliss's very pleasant taste in Autumn perfume and Ben's awful taste in perfume generally. We also discuss whether or not Le Lion bears a passing resemblance to Hulk Hogan or Shalimar, or both and whether or not one should place their feet upon the hearth in mid-winter.

19 - What's An Aldehyde Anyway?

Les Oderants ·

2022/10/03

This week we discuss Aldehydes. What are they? What are they used for? And why do they smell like being poor? There’s a lot going on in this episode, but key takeaways are the tips on how to smell like a Russian mobster, a 90s rubberised mascot or washed up X-Factor winner.
