In this program, we're going to hear from someone who smells smells for a living.
Although these are very expensive smells, smells that we wear deliberately to make us smell good.

Yes, and perfumes are big business.
And that's the topic of our quiz in this program.
How much is the perfume industry in the UK worth each year?
Is it A, 650 million pounds?
B, 970 million pounds, or C, 1.3 billion pounds?
Well, I don't know is her smell knows.
This is just a guess, but I'll say 970 million pounds.
Well, I'll let you know the answer a little later in the program.

He designs and creates very exclusive and very expensive perfumes.
In a recent BBC video, he talked about the power of smells.
