Over the years Fragrant Vintage Peony Pencils amongst other treasures have lent their essence to the olfactory experience at The PaintBox.

The Collection is named after the Backyards and Gardens of Portugal by Viarco who state:
“When visitors come to Viarco invariably associate the smell of cedar wood used in the production of the pencil as an intimate scent of childhood. This olfactory/affective association connected to the pencil is the base of this whole project, with which it intends to create a small olfactory portrait of Portugal’s Backyards and Gardens.  In partnership with i-SENSIS perfume design, we created the collection Backyards and Gardens of Portugal with scents of Orange Flower, Lily of Valley, Jasmine, Peony, Fig and Lavender.  A small tribute to our grandparents´ homes”

Our photographs were taken on the first day of the Australian Summer in our rambling shop garden that has been a delight to our community for over 180 years, a balmy fragrant oasis over over an acre. The next time you visit, please take a walk and perhaps do some sketching, its heavenly!
Limited stock of these scented lovelies, but there are more winging their way from Portugal as we speak.Â
