A company wanting a gift for every member of staff, with three weeks to Eid and a manager who arrived certain he wanted oud.
We talked him out of it, which was the entire value of the visit. Oud is a strong opinion. Perhaps a third of a hundred and fifty people will not wear it, and a gift that a third of your staff leave in a drawer is not a gift.
What went out was a clean white musk with a little citrus peel, at fifteen per cent, in twelve millilitre bottles. Easy for anybody to wear, which is the correct ambition for a gift to a crowd.
Labels proofed on paper, then on one bottle, then printed. Blended over five evenings after closing, because a hundred and fifty bottles cannot be done between customers. Collected in four boxes and settled by transfer against the order reference.
