* Drag the correct answer into all target fields

Smell, one of the most evocative and probably the most underrated of human senses, is today reduced to little more than an exercise in clever marketing. Alongside leather goods, sportswear and furnishing fabrics, fragrance is just another weapon in the arsenal of the luxury goods industry. Millions are spent on projects to find out what fragrance the broadest band of consumers want. Mass then allows the delivery of the new brand to every fashionable airport shop and department store across the globe. But however promoted, such fragrances are no match for the real thing. Happily, there are still some fragrances eclectic to be worn by people who value individuality. These are the cult fragrances, made in the old-fashioned way, which rely on individuals, rather than advertising images, to spread the word.
