A student of Oxford University has created a perfume which she says "smells just like Oxford" - and we wondered what it smelled like. Brainy with a hint of books and wood? Then we wondered, what would Dublin smell like? The listeners of The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show jumped on board with some of their suggestion as to what certain counties would smell like - some are nice..some not so nice! All are meant in the most jovial of spirits!
Ian - Kerry would smell of roses and All-Ireland medals. Carmel, Limerick.
Niall Horan was asked what he missed about being at home in Westmeath - his answer included snack boxes and the smell of cow dung.
Leitrim would smell of fresh boxty with a hint of sea breeze from our shortest coast line. Regards Linda.
Ian the Kilkenny 'odour' would be the smell of Brasso! From all the cups we have to polish! There are so many All-Ireland medals here, we use them as monopoly money!
Waterford smells of a rising blaa, flowering heather and a crash of sea
If Cork did perfume it would probably be the best perfume in the world boy
Limerick would smell like a lady because Limerick – you’re my lady. Jim from Limerick
Louth’s fragrance would be urine based as its the wee county, wayhay! Kenny
“Sea-mist a la turf" for Galway, kind of encompasses the entire county, Conor
Well Ian. Monaghan's fragrance would smell like washed diesel! From Anthony in Castleblayney.
Cork would be overpowering and give you a headache.
Cork would be Lennox's & Murphy's - Tori and Niall in Cork
Kildare’s fragrance - Lily of the Bog. The scent of white lillies with a hint of the Bog of Allen
Kilkenny...selflove, selfpity. Jaysus.
