  • Warning: addictive!

    I adore this podcast. It’s fascinating and informative and fun to listen to.

    It keeps me company on my commute and has become dangerous for my bank balance as Suzy and Nicola have a marvellous way of describing fragrances that makes me want to buy them all.

  • My Favourite Podcast

    I have lost track of how many times I have listened to every episode and then gone back to the beginning and re listened. Yes the perfume insight is what first got me listening as fragrance is a passion of mine. However, what keeps me playing this podcast as the soundtrack to my life is the beautiful friendship and support Suzy and Nicola demonstrate. No egos, just support and passion which is a joy to listen to. It is like having friends in the background. Intelligent, funny and genuinely gorge... more

  • My fragrant favourite

    I listen to quiet a few perfume podcasts but this is the one that I immediately drop everything to listen to as soon as it is released. I have learnt so much about both fragrance and (surprisingly) squirrels being part of this scented Cult**

    If you haven’t sampled yet, please do. Its the perfect balance of utterly wholesome good fun and seductive olfactive romps

    **of the ‘live your life’ kind. Not ‘GTFO’ sort.
