Here I was, assuming Watson to have been able to smell a female from two miles away. This case had brought us all more of an education than even I could have expected. Maybe I should enhance his share by future practise - sample collections of odours could hardly occupy more than half the kitchen, could they? A fascinating idea.

That's what I thought, too. XD;; I was working in a prison museum once where they also kept what was thought of as odour samples. Always a way to make the slightly depressing tour a little more fun.

How did they preserve their odour samples? I'd be curious to know.

On cloth, which were kept in - I kid thee not - preserving jars. I should add that there was never proof for this method's effectivity.
