You would have thought that when my employers were assessing new scents for their candles they would actually use the employee with the most acute sense of smell. It is a well known fact (at least according to Wikipedia that font of sometimes dodgy information) that a dogs sense of smell is astonishing with 125 to 220 million smell-sensitive receptors. Dogs can discriminate odors at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can so why are they wasting their time when I could do the job in my sleep. (visitors to the workshop might just notice that is something I do alot)
That said they have come up with a couple of absolute belters with the new "Gardenia" and "Geranium and Patchouli" fragrances. They also have a great blend worked with Essential oils for a new trade customer but might just get it on their range of natural Soya candles. It only took them 2 days to formulate!!!! That is pretty pathetic as despite its complexity I am sure I could have knocked it up in an hour or so. You say you cant teach an old dog new tricks but I am sure I could teach the candlemakers a thing or two about scents!
Anyhow the birds are singing and the honeysuckle is just breaking into leaf, spring is just around the corner and the weekend is almost upon us, the visitors will be streaming into the village as good weather is forecast.
