	Have put request on tips with spelling amended. I remember vaguely being given a bottle of eau de cologne 4711.

	LK - That was 4711 - and very gorgeous at the time. - You had to 'dab' it on your forehead to cool you down !! Michael - I don't think 'Tweed ' was connected to the 'Paris' one. I think it was something like 'eau de paris' ??? VERY distinctive shaped bottle - someone will remember Dea x

	Could it be Evening in Paris? I think that most girls I encountered in my youth wore Canal No 9. I think that it cost 9 guineas a barrel.
	Researching: Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

	I used to wear Blue Grass loved it but then OH told me one day a few months after we married that he could only smell the chemical content of perfumes and Blue Grass smelt like DDT to him THAT's what you get for marrying a chemist whose sense of smell was always poor but further damaged by the stuff we used to semll all the time in labs, before Health and Safty came in Morning everyone! s xx
