Forget your Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram, because there’s a new social media app in town, and it goes by the name of ‘Periscope’. But what does it do? Well, in short, Periscope allows people to live stream to the world directly from their smart phone, meaning that social media users can broadcast whatever it is that they are doing, whether that be watching TV, baking a cake or, as I did the other day, riding their bike. Viewers can then comment, ask questions, ‘like’ the video, or ask the broadcaster to show them the contents of their fridge, as seems to be the tradition.

In an attempt to embrace this new medium I’d like you to join me in a perfumed Periscope experiment. At 20:00 GMT on Wednesday 15 April 2015, I will be broadcasting live from my living room. The subject will be my top five fragrances for summer 2015 and I will be discussing the scents, and why I like them, as well as answering viewer questions (within reason, obviously) and just generally interacting with whoever wishes to watch. Of course, this could all go horribly wrong, but I want to see whether we can use Periscope for something fun and informative. My question to you then is – will you join me?
