According to Harry, Charles not only has a thing for hair and teddy bears, but also for scents. The 38-year-old claims with a wink that his father must have been “a sleuth” in a previous life. “He was always sniffing something. Food, roses, our hair.” Perhaps, the prince reflects, “he smelled things so extensively because he found it difficult to perceive anything besides his own scent.”
Accordingly, Charles is said to have smeared his perfume “Eau Sauvage” in “rough amounts on his cheeks, neck, shirt”. “Floral, with a hint of something pungent, like pepper or gunpowder, it was made in Paris,” Harry describes the special scent.
