"So here we are in Perfumes and Pot Pourri, Noelle!" exclaimed Moss. "Let's dive right in!" Noelle and Moss very much enjoyed their immersion in the Benefits of Pot Pourri. They learnt pot pourri has several benefits when used at home, the main one being aro­matic: provid­ing a pleas­ant and natural frag­rance to your home, help­ing to mask odours and creat­ing a wel­coming atmosphere.

"Do they employ a lot of 'noses'?" she asked, in a jocular fashion. "Many 'noses' are trained there, learning to distinguish between over 2000 different scents! Oh, and it's nez, not 'nose'," responded Chica.

"I'm finding that the scent of pot pourri provides a calm­ing and sooth­ing environ­ment, which can help to relax you," remarked Moss. "I agree," said Blossom.

While getting pampered, you met Mimi.
Moss shook paws with Mimi the Meadow's Secret Caterpillar. They both received one silver mole!
"This one's really interesting, Daphne Fluffster Tinklehoof," remarked Moss. "It says pot pourri was first docu­mented in the mid-18th century but has a far longer history. Early pot pourri was made with scent­ed flowers, herbs and spices. Roses were often the star of the show with their sooth­ing and calm­ing scent." "I was just learning over there that many shop-bought roses have been geneti­cally modi­fied to have their scent gene removed and are often sprayed with pesti­cides. So, as always, home-grown and home-made is best!" responded Daphne Fluffster Tinklehoof.

Choose a name and Moss were captivated by the next immersion, to explore the spice and flower markets of Morocco in North Africa. 'Is there any name more romantic than Marrakech?' ran the narrative. 'Located 200 miles north-west of Morocco's coastal capital, Rabat, on a journey that takes you via Casa­blanca, then further inland, Marrakech is famous for its spice markets. Picture the caravans of camels of a thousand years ago, trekk­ing from the Sahara Desert bearing merch­ants eager to sell gold and salt. Now a top tourist attract­ion, many visitors enjoy explori­ng the centuries-old wind­ing alley­ways, watch­ing street enter­tainment and haggling with vendors for an array of hand-made goods, ranging from Berber carpets to spices and rose petals.' Moss and Choose a name emerged blinking and awestruck when the VR ended!

"Did you see that recipe for Persian stuffed dumpling squash with rose petals?" queried Moss. "Yes, indeed!" responded Patches. "It said Middle Eastern cuisine uses rose­water and rose petals in a variety of dishes, and rose petals and rose hips are popular with home cooks and profession­al chefs alike. Whilst the nutrition­al bene­fits of rose petals are negligible, beyond some Vitamin C, they do add bene­fits beyond their nutritive value." "Do you remember in Turkey a couple of years ago we found that lokum was made with rose­water?" reminisced Moss." "Ah, you mean Turkish Delight! And most delicious it was, too!" responded Patches.
Moss has enjoyed sniffing fine scents, but it is time to go home. Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also enjoy this event!
