Hard-to-find scent is available nearby

Dear Dr. Fashion: I am trying to locate a perfume called Tea Rose from Perfumer’s Workshop. It was recommended for the older woman, and it worked out just great for me. ~R.H., Detroit

The Doctor Says: Tea Rose is more than 800 fragrance brands available by mail order from Fragrances Unlimited, an Ann Arbor, MI company that tracks down hard-to-find scents.

Gary Droz, the company’s manager, says the selection includes many current fragrances, usually priced at 20 percent below retail.

To order, you can write to Droz at 4836 Washtenaw Ave., Apt. A7, Ann Arbor, MI, 48108. You can call him at 734-434-0692, 8-8 daily, or send a fax to 734-434-0936.

And if you’re planning to give a fragrance gift for Christmas, Droz says, be sure to order by Dec. 20 and pay with a credit card. Droz accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. If he has the scent in stock, he says, he can deliver it by Christmas Day.
