Recycling In Action at Fortnum & Mason

Perfume dispensers at Fortnum & Mason

 I was browsing the completely gorgeous displays in Fortnum & Mason.  Not just the cakes honestly!  I wasn't really thinking about things green and environmentally friendly, just enjoying how beautiful everything looked.

As I wandered in to the perfume department I came across a display that intrigued me.  It was the large ornate glass dispensers in the photo above.  When I asked what they were for I was told that the dispensers are for re-filling perfume bottles.  This is not a new initiative.  I was told that it is the French way and Fortnum & Mason having been re-filling perfume bottles in this way for around 100 years.

How absolutely wonderful!

I thought that this cushion was a little harsh as it was in the Mens' Grooming section but it made me laugh.  It didn't seem to go down quite so well in doors.  Not sure why............
