My teenage years reeked of Lynx deodorant, and now they are providing bespoke fragrances. Once the reserve of the financially well endowed, you can now get your own hand-blended scent for less than the price of getting your sweat glands removed. |

Lynx, who are fresh from polluting the land with the rancid stench of adolescence, have hooked up with oki-ni, to offer an exclusive new fragrance service, only available to 100 people. For a somewhat dubiously reasonable £100, customers will have their own signature eau de toilette created by award winning Parisian perfumers, after a consultation in London. However, they aren't the only ones who have sniffed out this made to measure trend. Perfume boutique Scent Systems have introduced a bespoke service with Aroma Sciences, and for £150 (refills £75), you get a private consultation and 17.5ml of your own scent. But for something truly elite, treat yourself to Haute Perfumer Roja Dove at Harrods' Urban Retreat, who will knock you up a uniquely personal fragrance for the more indulgent price of £20,000. Which I suspect may be nicer than the perfume he has created to launch a new Siemens mobile phone. However, I'm waiting for a bespoke Lalique aftershave bottle, as it's all about the packaging for me.
