Jack - Piccadilly '69 Perfume.In May 1969, I was 12 years old and flew from Swaziland to London on a trip with my parents. Emerging from Piccadilly Circus tube station, I was wide eyed in wonderment seeing the Eros statue and fountain, whose steps were people crammed with Patchouli perfumed hippies. The combination of Patchouli oil and petrol from all the traffic, proved an indelible inhalation! Earl Grey Tea at Fortnum and Mason on Piccadilly with its Bergamot base, and its well

featuring full frontal nudity and catching sight of people in see-through clothing in Soho ignited an hormonal ‘rocket’ storm

and Richmond Park

Earl Grey Tea at Fortnum and Mason on Piccadilly with it’s Bergamot base
