Smell like a Viking

York Visitor Centre created a Viking-scented body spray. No really: I’m not making this up, and it isn’t April 1. Mead, blood, smoke, seawater and so much more.

Not only that, you can get a Smell-o-vision travel guide.

I’m… amazed. Or something. I wonder how I can find a decant of the body spray for Thora…

Utterly unrelated: take a look at this lovely 898-page Dutch watercolor mixing guide from 1692. Such patience! Every time I start something like that, I end up closer to 9 pages than 900.

    I visited the Jorvik Centre just after it was opened in 1984 – and I just loved it! The smells were great ;-)

    Hmmmm…. I wonder if you can order the Viking-scented body spray online. There’s a certain somebody who would just love this, and I think you know who I mean. :-)

      He could spray it on his food!

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
