I'm not going to pretend I am in the know with this release
and that my sources were more credible than the Daily Mail because I'd be lying!
I'd be lying further if I said I didn't stumble across this while reading a Snookie story...for shame.
Anyway The Scent of Departure is a range of 19 scents that capture the essence of certain destinations
so you don't have to jet out...saying that it would be nice to visit such places!
With each bottle coming in a bottle designed to look like a boarding pass and the scent sporting the 3 letter code of each airport how could I not love this concept
in all it's quirky and themed glory!

Below I have listed all 19 scents with their official description,
nope no Glasgow on the list I guess the scent of Irn-Bru, Haggis and the River Clyde is hard to captivate?
