The Bouquet Skunk Family
FATHER STILTON BOUQUET runs a woodland beauty spa, where he loves to pamper 'his special ladies' with salt scrubs, mud pack facials and hot stone massages, all in the great outdoors. Of course Stilton only every uses the bounty of the natural world in his homemade products. He adds lavendar to his body lotions, honey to his face creams and rosemary to his hair tonics. Everything is found in the forest glades, fruit orchards and herb gardens of Sylvania. After the treatments the ladies always feel so beautiful and relaxed, especially as the debonair Stilton simply can't resist showering them with compliments. And when he offers them one of his special French manicures in his romantic Parisian accent, they simply can't resist either!
MOTHER ROSEMARY BOUQUET helps her husband run the woodland beauty spa. As the business brains behind the operation, she not only sets the prices and deals with the payments, but she also handles all the appointments. (Before Rosemary joined him, Stilton would not only forget to charge for his services, but he would also book three people for the same treatment at the same time!) And there is a wonderful perk to her job that makes Rosemary the envy of all the ladies in Sylvania. Stilton simply insists on practising all his new beauty treatments on her! She is now the perfect advertisement for the business as her fur is always glossy, her eyes are always shining and her tail is always perfectly groomed.
BROTHER SAGE BOUQUET is also a great help in the family busines. After he has completed all his schoolwork during the week he helps to tidy up. Then at the weekends he goes deep into the forest to find all the ingredients for his dad's homemade beauty treatments. He understands how much his dad depends upon him and has become quite an expert on the countryside. He knows when the vegetables and herbs are at their best, and he has also become very skilful at climbing fruit trees and collecting honey from bumblebees. And there is nothing he cannot find, no matter how rare. Once when Imogen Hawthorne had run out of her special hair tonic Sage knew exactly where to go to find the last marigold in all of Sylvania! A great bonus of course is that Sage always comes top of his class in nature studies!
SISTER JASMIN BOUQUET loves to make homemade beauty products just like her dad. But rather than lotions, creams and potions, Jasmin's specialty is perfumes. Jasmin has a great 'nose' and prides herself on creating different perfumes to suit different moods. And just like her dad she likes to make full use of Sylvania's natural ingredients. For sweet fragrances she uses lavender, honeysuckle and roses, for citrus aroma she uses oranges, limes and lemons, and for spicy scents she uses mosses, leaves and pine needles. The ingredients are all finely chopped and left to stand in water. Then the water is strained and poured into beautiful little glass bottles. Jasmin is now working on her own 'signature scent' using delicate jasmine flowers of course!
BABY TWINS PARSLEY AND LAVENDER BOUQUET are twins, but you would never know it. Parsley is the most well-behaved baby boy in all Saylvania and never gives his mum Rosemary a moment's worry. Lavender on the other hand is simply too mischievous for her own good. One memorable day at the beauty spa Rosemary had turned her back for a second only to find Lavender giving her brother a mud pack facial!!!
The Bouquet Skunk family were first released into the UK Sylvanian range as exclusive token collector's figures, where you had to save up tokens to be able to purchase them in 1994. They were the first skunk family to be released in the UK, but the second overall. A skunk family were first released in Japan in the late 1980's, but the family had thinner tails with a white stripe going all the way down it. The Bouquet family has bushier tails, similar to the squirrel figures. The Bouquet family were re-released by Flair in 2003, for general sale around the country. The re-release family had a little white mark above their noses, where as the original Tomy family did not.
