    And just because alliteration is a beautiful thing- please also add Broadswords into the mix. Choose your weapon wisely. Fliss Walton is one quarter of the UK based fragrance podcast ‘Les Oderants’ - emphasis on the work ‘rant’. Fliss has work as a professional actor, as a facilitator and has, by all accounts, an extensive perfume collection. She may also be a self proclaimed lover of a ‘pretty bottle’, but we do our best to remain focussed on the juice. In this conversation we deep dive into the work of a few perfumers, discuss the role of scent as communication, a tool for getting into character and the very different types of death that medieval weaponry can achieve.

    When the world’s of DIY, identity and fragrance come together in a lovely mixtape of experiences Diffractive Studio is an independent fragrance house in Newcastle, UK. Owner and perfumer Alessandra started out as an academic, but branched out into the fragrance space creating fragrant art installations, as well as commercial product. Recently Alessandra had an article, “Beyond the Scent of Blood and Gardenias” published in the fragrance journal, Alabastron. This first issue of the journal focussed on the ‘Scent of Identity’ and Alessandra’s piece focused on the queer experience of an olfactory identity (a new term that I will be using at any given moment from now on).If you love a good love story, if you like powerful women, if you like mixtapes and you are not afraid of pink, then this episode is for you.Fragrances mentioned:So Cute - Diffractive Studio Coven - Andrea MaackMusc Ravageur - Editions De Parfums Frederic MalleBoth Sides of Clouds - 4160 Tuesdays Dolce Treviso - Acca KappaVaniglia Fior di Mandorlo - Acca KappaFracas - Robert PiguetYuzu Soda - Strangers ParfumerieSo Fetch - Strangers ParfumerieQH - RedolescentLuna Dust - Mabelle O’RamaPink Sugar - AuqolinaZucchero a Velo - Aquolina Bowmakers - D.S & DurgaPop Culture - Diffractive StudioBooks mentioned:The Cyborg Manifesto - Donna HarawaySoft Science - Franny ChoiLight from Uncommon Stars - Ryka AokiOne Last Stop - Casey McQuiston Hosted on Acast.
