Geek Alert: this could be the nerdiest piece I’ve ever written!

Doctor Who, the world’s longest-running sci-fi TV series, is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary… which means that all of us list-loving, scent-worshipping, Dalek-fearing aficionados have an opportunity to indulge in that most indulgent, navel-gazing of activities: dreaming up a Universe in which the TARDIS crosses paths with a perfume’s sillage. The result of my own, adolescent fan-boy musings is a Basenotes piece which pairs a different scent with each incarnation of our favourite Gallifreyan. What’s more, it features superb, must-see artwork by Grant Osborne and Alan Hindle. Please click here to be taken to it.

Here endeth the Geek Alert.
