Auld Reekie
Our Noses Reprieved
Since 26 March 2006 the days when you could mask the smell of pubs and bars in Scotland with smoke has gone. And the first thing we noticed about our favourite nook once the smoke had gone was how horrible it smelled. I don’t need to list the many odd odours that club, pubs and hostelries betrayed thereafter, suffice it say that they were none too salubrious, but we knew all about them! Edinburgh might have been Auld Reekie, but those places benefited in one sense from the smoke that kippered other noxious odours.
Ten Years of Smells
But now nearly ten years on the smells of the past have been taken away by the welcome scrubbing brush of the present and now we are all far more aware of the smells and perfumes of the places and people that we visit. And because it’s Christmas you'll be reaching for the gift vouchers or standing in line at Superdrugs for a bottle of smellies, hoping that you have remembered her favourite perfume and was that one you bought last time left on the shelf for five years because it was too precious to use?
Atomiser and the Aunts
Well if you are uncertain what her favourite fragrance is don’t despair. (By the way they don’t call it scent anymore, or even perfume. The posh word is now fragrance; well you can slap me with a kipper before I use that in ordinary conversation.) We have just started a couple of new items that allow you to give a lady a beautiful gift and she gets to choose which ”fragrance” goes in it! We have a couple of really smashing atomisers in hand cut crystal.
There is the conical one, handy because the kids can’t knock it over so easily.
Or the stunning Regency style round one that is sheer class.
Both are at a remarkable half price, so if you have a woman in your life who could do with a bit of pampering, and I don’t mean by buying expensive branded nappies, well just go for it. We’ll wrap it perfectly for you too, if you are as cack handed as me that is important.
