S06EP10 - Creed Indeed
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.

S06EP09 - James's Dirty Vials
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.

S06EP08 - Rubbing the Magic Lamp
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.

S06EP07 - Why All The Hate?
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.

S06EP06 - Fantasy Briefs
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.

S06EP05 - The Kurkdjian Exam
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.

S06EP04 - £200 Spring Collections
This week we're back with an episode fit for Spring. We take ourselves with putting together a neat little spring collection on a budget of £200 and here were our findings. Naturally we all cheated to one degree or another, but you know, it's the thought that counts.

S06EP03 - DELETE! DELETE!
This week we're joined by Patti, who's back again for a good catchup, a bit of ranting and a big decision when she chips in with the one hour that we would like to delete. Forever. Dan also talks about the new LV, Ben get's punished by Meo Fusciuni and Patti talks all about the joys of buying from eBay.

This week we sit down to discuss the big trends we noticed in perfumery for the year, as well as what we think might be coming over teh horizon for next year.
