Is that tea you're wearing?

tea perfume
Just hours after our very own Blog of Lists published this list of favourite smells comes news of a British survey of favourite aromas. We are not saying they are copying our ideas, but it smells fishy. We might ask out lawyers to sniff around.


The British apparently voted fresh bread as their favourite smell, followed by mown grass, clean laundry, tea, coffee, BBQ, petrol, chocolate, cakes and new books.

This makes Britain the only grouping of sentient beings in the known universe to rank tea above coffee and not include bacon in a top 10 smells list. The country needs counselling.

But they do love their tea, and to underscore that point tea retail giant Tetley has just announced its intention to market a tea-scented perfume to be named, imaginatively, Le Brew.

The fragrance contains "tones of tea alongside oak moss and clary sage to create a relaxing and totally fresh scent", said Tetley's senior tea taster, blender and buyer, Joyce Muendo, a woman with a superb job title.

"We selected this scent for Le Brew because it reminded us of freshly cut tea and the tropical scents in the tea plantation."

Tropical scents in a tea plantation ... this is starting to make sense. Where do we get a bottle?

I can assure you, my good fellow, that, just because I like the dizzying and heady aroma of petrol and books, I do not smell like an Englishman.

Editorial comment:
Neever does I spell like one.

MI5 records, released recently under the 50-year rule, suggest otherwise, Norm.
