Bloody strong, that's what!
I collect antiques with a particular interest in miniatures such as jewellery, ring boxes and perfume bottles from the Georgian / Victorian era
I recently picked up this little bottle on my travels and it's still got perfume in it.
It's approximately 220 years old. These bottles were generally known as lachrymatory bottles or 'tear catchers' and have quite an interesting history.
This bottle has been wax sealed somewhere on its past travels,
Probably due to a cracked lid, but my god - the smell coming off it!
Think the strongest, most powdery, floral, catch in your throat smell - and you'd be in the right ballpark!
