What Smells in Paris?

• The other day the metro train was stuck on a bridge in between two stations because someone inadvertently pulled the alarm (I'm being polite, some of the Parisians were #&!!?... not happy). Someone had the good idea to pull out some eucalyptus, either as a sweet or a little purse spray, it was quite diffusive and the car and the spirits in there were instantly refreshed (mine at least.)

What can I say, power to perfume.
