Oxford Botanic Garden’s first ever perfume Metaphysic, inspired by the scents and smells of the famous garden, is up for grabs. Yes, we’ve got one bottle of the £95 perfume to give away in this fabulous competition, along with tickets to the OBG’s Christmas Fair on December 7-8.
Metaphysic is a complex eau de parfum that captures the changing scents of the Garden through the year, imbuing a sense of wellbeing that comes from connecting with nature in the UK’s oldest botanic garden.
It has been created in collaboration with artisanal English perfumier 4160Tuesdays. The perfume is inspired by plants grown in the former Physic Garden since the 1640s, and has notes of kumquat and bergamot, layers of elegant rose, magnolia and lily, and a warm autumnal woody base of frankincense and amber.
It will launch at the Christmas Fair on 7 December READ OUR TOP 10+ Oxfordshire’s Christmas Markets here where over 50 local businesses, creatives, and communities enjoy a weekend of festive shopping, hospitality, entertainment and activities.
Two marquees will play host to a range of local craftspeople, suppliers, and producers, and delicious food and drink. There will be live music and theatre performances, and plenty of activities for children to enjoy.
Hospitality will be provided by The Conservatory Bar, Crafty Belle Crumpets and Crepes, Jericho Coffee Traders, Horsebox Coffee, Veni & Dough, and Fallow and Field.
Live entertainment will come from Oxford bands Hot Crumpets and Horns of Plenty on Saturday, and jazz vocalist Fleur Stevenson on Sunday. WhatNot Theatre will present ‘Mother Christmas’ in their magical grotto on both days.
Botanical folklorist Natty Mark Samuels will host a series of interactive, drop-in workshops, celebrating the plants of the Caribbean with costumes, cuisine and musical instruments.
