I wonder if the thing is going to leap out and attack me

Posted by Robin on 20 March 2015 2 Comments

For a moment, I wonder if the thing is going to leap out and attack me. Curled into the base of a steel box, it's a tangle of what looks like fur, claws and hide. It could be a piece of a garish Halloween costume. Or the remnants of some very strange Biology experiment gone wrong. I stare at it for a moment. And then, reassured that it's quite dead, I bring it closer to my nose and breathe in.

— Persolaise, from Guardians Of The Past - A Trip To The Osmotheque at Basenotes. The article won the Jasmine Bloggers Award at the 2015 UK Jasmine Awards.

    Save the Osmotheque! Have they considered a crowd funding option?

      I do not know, and also do not know that they are that close to disaster. But would make the most sense for the fragrance companies to give them more support!
