Autumn Scents

Really? I sold my Eucris on, the good lady said I should be acting more like 007 instead of smelling like it so I gave her a slap and picked somebody up at the local casino.
 
All this talk. I'm getting a Jermyn Street urge again. But how would one go about testing a decent range of balms and colognes? A few sniffs here and there , break for a stroll and coffee then another go. Sounds good to me, so I'll be off soon to sort out my autumn scents....

Sounds good to me. In fact, next week I'm off to the 'big smoke' for 3 days and I plan on doing something very similar one day. :D

For Autumn scents, I've decided that I'm going Sandalwood this year. I have some TOBS sandalwood, but will be getting the D R Harris one next week.

I had a sniff of some C&E Sandalwood soap, last week in Morpeth, and I thought it was absolutely glorious. A birthday present suggestion in the Autumn I think.
 
Bond was a Floris man true .. However, the misuses thinks i smell like bond as Eucris is a very masculine, earthy - 'powerful' (as she puts it) scent.
She was unaware it was tenuously linked to him until i mentioned it later.

Eucris is old world - class in a bottle if you ask me.
 
Twas Mtr. Fleming himself who used Eucris hair oil, whilst for a cologne he went for Floris No 89. He actually wrote a note complaining that it had been drawn to his attention that his creation, the fictional Bond, was mentioned in a review as wearing Eucryl on his hair. This being a powdered tooth powder Mr. Fleming pointed out that he, Fleming, used Eucris from Geo Trumper, whilst Bond wore nothing, and most certainly not tooth powder. The note was , I believe, written to the editor of the Sunday Times in 1963 & in it Mr. Fleming also drew attention to a misprint regarding the ski bindings worn by his fictional hero .

None of which alters the rather attractive scent of Trumper's Eucris, which is indeed my idea of "earthy & mysterious".
