I looked the the website - apparently it's supposed to smell like an Imperial Russian Court! http://www.imperialleather.co.uk/our-story/our-history
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi there - I keep the traditional English Cuckoo Marans, not all of this breed lay such dark eggs but I have been working on my strain for quite a few years now improving both the colour of the eggs and the quanity and size of the eggs they lay. The eggs in my avatar are some they laid last spring, and although not every egg is as dark as those, but they have laid some even darker :iconbiggrin:

They are nice-natured big friendly birds, and they are a dual purpose bird, so excess cockerels make excellent birds for the pot if you are so inclined :wink:

You can check out lots of piccies of the birds and more of the eggs on

All the best

I'd be sorely tested if I didn't live in Italy. Gorgeous birds and you'd never need to tint and egg for Easter ever again :iconbiggrin: .

Evidently much more than I do :oops:

Maybe it was because I grew up with it, but I've always thought that was just what soap smelt like!

I can't stand labels either and peel them off whenever I can. When I was quite young I once carefully peeled the label of the soap, and Mum had to explain to me that you stand the soap on the label to keep it from going soggy.

Take nobody's word for it, especially not mine! If I offer you an ID of something based on a photo, please treat it as a guess, and a starting point for further investigations.
