S06EP05 - The Kurkdjian Exam

This week, we have a little rant, talk about some new frags and then Dan treats us all with a small selection of "Hills that he would die on" for us to chuckle at, agree with or mercilessly berate him for. Do you like to argue into the ether with podcasters whilst you listen? Then this be the episode for ye.

We are back! Season seven, who;d have thought it. Not us that's for blinking sure... For our first episode ew are pretty much just having a long ramble catchup, with a lot of perfume gubbins mixed in. We'll be back with some more substantial chats from next episode we promise. Potentially.

This week it's our somewhat belated Season 6 finale, so we can all disappear and have a lovely summer holiday in peace. Except we won't do that because we're all grumpy and will spend every day sniffing perfume and moaning to all the people around us that don't care until we can get back for next season, and we can grumble to people who might actually care. Or might not. Either way, we'll be back, and we'll be grumbling no doubt. Until then have a good summer, don't accidentally burn down any woodland and have fun!

This week we check in with James to see what he thought of the Creed perfumes from LAST episode, have a sniff of a couple of interesting little things from christophe laudamiel and then kick back for a bit of fun digging up the trashiest most embarrassing perfumes in our collection.

This week! We are taking a bit of a dive into the house of Creed, which we are all very ashamed about. Seriously though, we thought with the recent passing of Mr Creed it was probably worth having a little sniff of the ol' house, especially since Dan seems to own the whole catalogue.

this week we are joined by Jess to sniff James's dirty little vials of suspect substances. We all have a lovely time, sniffing cheesy tobacco, eating grape sweets and talking loosely about perfume sometimes.You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   

This week we rub our lamps and see what comes out. Except we know what comes out. Infinite juice. Five of them to be exact. We also talk about Dan being banned from LV, finally a positive instagram poster and whether or not something can be in eyeshot or earline. Fascinating stuff.You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   

This week we're having a look at a listener question: Why do we hate the things we hate? Whilst we tuck in to what drives that, we look at authenticity, we mine some positives and Dan tells us all about his trip to the ultra niche festival in London.You can contact us via email at [email protected] or via Instagram:  Dan: fragrance_weirdoJames: houdini_sotd  Ben: talking_scents  Fliss: fliss_sniffs_stuff   

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.
