Firstly, I must say thanks to [profile] la_colere and [personal profile] silvercobwebs for a fantastic meet and sniff in Aberdeen on Saturday.  I had a great time, much food was eaten and coffee drunk and perfumes were liberally daubed on skin whilst we yabbered on like people that had known each other for years, it was really, really good to meet you both.  Also, kudos to R for putting up with a load of yammering females squeeing like loons over perfume.

Secondly, I have received a mystery package in the post this afternoon - a bottle of Ivanushka (my current favourite!) and imps from someone in Hamburg who said that it was sent to me on "request from my secret spring time swapper".  So thankyou whoever you are you secret springtime switchwitch.

Dear All UK peeps, but especially those in the north/Scotland.

I have made a discovery.  There is a perfumery called  Aroma Sciences on the west coast of Scotland run by a totally mad and interesting sounding guy who offers a days workshop on how to create a perfume (here's an article from the Guardian about the perfume house).  I dropped him an e-mail to find out about his perfume workshops and he says if there is enough interest (3 or four people) he runs a workshop (see his reply to my e-mail below)

Hi
 
I am not at the moment holding one day workshops in London - but we open our shop and cafe at Loch Ewe at Easter and I hold daily sessions (but need a min of 4 people) - at which you spend 2-3 hours and compose a perfume - and of course you can have splendid views - and very good coffee and peruse all our perfumes and creams and gifts
 
best wishes
george
 
ps
I am giving a sniff evening in the Dana Centre at  the Science Museum London - this thr - St Valentines - may be fully booked ?

We went on to have a bit of an e-mail conversation about perfume and having a good nose for smells and stuff and he sounded completely up for having a good old chin wag about perfume even if he wasn't running a course and I just turned up!  So anyway, I'm staying near Ullapool for the week arriving on 28th March and I was wondering if anyone would be up for a mission to make perfume?
