Answers to Questions from Modest Maidens
A reader asks about the eight hour workday origin, the Tutankhamun curse, the perfume's scent role, and Gulf Stream width near Miami and Pompano.

Perfume has music as a fixative and strong appeal. Gulf Stream boundaries near Florida are uncertain and shift with seasons.
