Buzz apothecary
HBO's marketing for Games of Thrones has been impressive, a long step up from the Team Atia shirt they sent me for supporting their Rome promotion. Unfortunately, I was not on the list for a Maester's box of scents. Best send one to someone who doesn't know anything about the show and hasn't read the books (in fairness, he owns equity in the company that put them together).
It's a lovely thing.
As you can see in the set of photos I took, it is an old wooden box. Inside were six different glass vials that each contained a different scent. There were also several scrolls, a map and two glass vials with location names on them that matched locations on the map. Finally there were some smelling sticks and little brass funnels that could be used to pour the oils into the glass location vials.
