It\u2019s the day after St George\u2019s Day<\/a> so I have a year to gather ideas, build a design and make it ready to release a fragrance for St George\u2019s Day 2013.<\/p>\n

This idea started when a friend of mine bemoaned the fact that St George\u2019s Day isn\u2019t much celebrated and wondered whether corporate sponsorship might change that . . . I rather flippantly asked if, failing a big corporation, a tiny one-man firm would do.<\/p>\n

\nSoon we got to wondering what a dragon might smell like at which point I thought the discussion belonged here and made this post.<\/p>\n

\nDragon Family – Varna<\/a><\/div>\n
\nIdeas here please for what should go into a fragrance fit to celebrate England\u2019s national saint?
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/a>Here is what we collected on Facebook<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nIn response to the question What do you suppose a dragon smells like?<\/i><\/div>\n
\nWell they eat people, but also breath fire, so I guess things like brimstone, sulphur, ash, burnt wood \ud83d\ude1b<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nwith thanks to Rob.  I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s a recipe for a best-selling fragrance yet, but it\u2019s a start!<\/div>\n

\nMore from Facebook, this time it\u2019s Kate with the good ideas:
\nsomething with the fragrance of a cox apple perhaps<\/span>
\nrose and apple might just work<\/span>
\nwith english oak as a base if that’s possible!<\/span>
\nMe: Rose and apple I can certainly do – English Oak I\u2019m pretty sure isn\u2019t available as a natural oil, but I might well be able to create a convincing scent using other woods. Nice idea!<\/span>
\nOn the dragon idea – you could add something fiery or spicy<\/span>
\nMe: <\/span>I was thinking smoky, but I could also give it a touch of chilli – even a little of that tends to make everyone nearby sneeze though . . .<\/span><\/span>
