Sweet smell of charity success

Nov 20 2008 by Hilarie Stelfox, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

THE BBC’s Children In Need appeal hit our television screens once again last Friday, but the fundraising still goes on.

Boots has created two fragrances to raise money for the BBC appeal.

It is the fifth year the company has supported the charity.

The 'his' and 'hers' fragrances are called Hug for Her and Hug for Him.

The bottles, coloured gold and silver, come complete with a Pudsey Bear-inspired phone charm.

The fragrances themselves have been specially created to conjure up memories of a happy

childhood.

Hug for Her is all about the familiar smell of bath time; the smell of warm towels with a hint of baby powder.

Hug For Him has the scent of wood shavings overlaid with the sweet scent of cola.

It also represents a school pencil case that contains everything from pens and pencils to sticky sweets.

Last year Boots raised £1.2m for Children in Need.

Hug for Her and Hug for Him cost £10, with £3.50 from each product sold being given to Children in Need.
