Favourite Perfume/s or Smell

I love the smell of a steam locomotive. The hot sulphurous smell in the cab from the firebox and the smoke from the chimney are wonderful.

The Playhouse Bar is/was separate from the theatre. I don't recall any freebie dispensers, just rows of bottles and some above-average seating. But my memory is hazy!
