Are you in the Manchester area & free during the day on May 6? Flash with Febreze want you to come along and create-your-own fragrance - plus get a £50 goodie bag

[AnnMumsnet]

The guys at Flash have just launched a new Flash with Febreze range of cleaners and, when they were developing the product, the boffins there learnt from the teams behind some of the world's best-selling designer fragrances, to tap in to their perfume-making expertise.

This resulted in a cleaner which (for once) has a nice smell, leaving your room smelling fresher and cleaner for longer.

Again, they would like to offer Mumsnetters an insight into fragrance - this time in Manchester: how they can be made to last longer, the components of a fragrance and how different smells work. Don't worry they are talking about real perfume not eau du kitchen cleaner! We have already run events like this in London and in Birmingham - an interesting day was had by all.

At the event, a smell expert will give a talk about perfume and you will be able to create and take home your very own fragrance.

Everyone who is selected and attends an event will receive not only their own fragrance but also a goodie bag of domestic cleaning products & other goodies worth £50.

All we ask is that after the event you try the products in the goodie bag and then add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet.
The event is in Manchester: Thursday 6 May

At a luxury hotel in the city centre near Piccadilly station

Between 11.15am to 2.00pm

Sandwich lunch will be provided and you'd need to be able to stay for the whole session.

Travel expenses (up to £25) would be paid.

Creche facilities will be provided by Flash using a specialist company but we MUST know exact numbers and ages of children and any dietary requirements they may have before the day - please indicate below if you are likely to bring a child - and if you are selected we will confirm exact details nearer the time.

Please complete this form if you'd like to attend the event.

Please note: 6 May, as you probably know, is polling day which may mean your childs school is closed - please just bear this in mind if it's an issue for you

Oh sorry!

Yes will try and get to next meet up. Have got rid of previous posting history so feel a lot safer now

[suwoo]

Ha, its fine, was only kidding. I know nothing of your posting history so you'll be safe with me and my little tiny friend MrsC.

[mumofmonsters]

I did speak to MrsC - felt a bit odd leaving her with the overly excited "smell experts" but realised that i was as likely to be an axe murderer as they were anyway

Previous posting history = easily identifyable from and i have stuff archived on here i don't and can't talk about 'in a real voice'!

Who was the other lady who did Kiss? Her DS was really well behaved

[suwoo]

I know! He was lovely. I posted about him further up the thread. No idea who she was.

That was morethemerrier guys - with the son that is

[mumofmonsters]

Ah right

[MrsChemist]

Tree is currently sitting on my mantlepiece in pride of place. I haven't smelled it since I got home. I think I'm scared.

It was nice speaking to you mom, it would have felt weird being alone with the smell people. Not sure why, they were perfectly nice, but I would have felt arkward.

Hello! Sorry I've not popped in before now to say what a lovely time I had last Thurs...dodgey internet. Thank you to Annmumsnet for inviting me along.

I too have been a little scared of sniffing our creation (Just...) I was the one who arrive last and darted off first...flaming M62!!!

Still, was lovely to meet you all...sort of ! Recognised a couple of you from Manchester Christmas do that some of us scousers invaded a couple of years ago. I must say that I am surprised that there wasn't a round of introductions - I thought I had missed it and everyone knew everyone else. Definitely something they need to address.

DH (LOLOLOLOL) has already tried the flash on the kitchen floor - I was too busy sniffing my Yankee candle!! I'm he afraid was not impressed with the cleaning ability,though it did smell lovely for a short time.
