The closer it gets to Christmas, the more messages we’re getting from listeners desperately trying to find fragrances for gifts, or replacements for much-loved but sadly discontinued scents. So today, we’re thrusting our hands into the mailbag and answering as many as possible while handing out the perfect perfume prescriptions. Recommendations for missing classics, budget-friendly versions, extra special scents to treat someone with and even laundry detergents that smell like puddings – this episode has it all… (SO sorry we didn’t get time to answer all your questions - we’ve got them on file and will answer in the next prescription episode!)
