'I dare say, that for the early eighties, Id Aromatics, (which we sold in 1990), was the strangest shop in town. There certainly wasn't anywhere else you could obtain mandrake root, oakmoss resin or dragon's blood powder and, looking around the shop, which was a veritable Aladin's Cave of strange liquids, powders and gruesome looking roots, I had no difficulty in sympathising with the folk who, rather aggravatingly, repeated the question "How did you get into all this?"'
(from The Strange Smell in the Car by Ray Sherwin)
