Christmas In The Highlands

Rating: 8/10

Reason: I enjoyed the Scottish countryside. She didn't really have culture shock which I was kind of expecting. The acting was good and as an added bonus the captions were hilarious!  It was as if they had used AI and the AI misunderstood a lot of words because it didn't understand their accents. (ex."He's an Earl" became "he's a girl")

 SPOILERS BELOW!

                                                                        

Perfume Lady is having a bad day. Her sales numbers are down, and Boss Lady is mad. Perfume Lady wants to be a perfumer who makes perfumes instead of a perfume seller.

Santa is ringing a bell on the street and asks what Perfume Lady's Christmas wish is. Perfume Lady laughs and says she doesn't believe in that nonsense...

A package magically appears at Perfume Lady's door. Inside is a Scottish perfume.

Boss Lady tells Perfume Lady that if she can get the Scottish perfume on the shelves in 2 weeks for Christmas, she'll see about making Perfume Lady a perfume inventor.

Perfume Lady is nerv-cited as she heads off to Scotland to find the tiny perfumery the Scottish perfume is from...

Scottish Earl is single, and getting lots of invitations to balls and Christmas parties. He's an eligible man with a title after all! 

Scottish Ex-girlfriend's Mother (Lady Snob) is scheming a way to get Scottish Earl and Scottish Ex-girlfriend back together.

Scottish Earl apparently works at the Scottish Inn. Perfume Lady is a bit disgruntled about the wifi, and they have words.  When Perfume Lady heads back to her room, Scottish Earl looks a bit smitten! 

The next day Perfume Lady shows up at the perfumery, just as Scottish Earl shows up for work. Scottish Earl owns the perfumery, but was just helping out at the Inn. Since he knew Perfume Lady wanted to come to the perfumery, he decided to come open it for her this morning. It's actually closed for Christmas, but since Perfume Lady came all the way from New York, he figured it was the least he could do. 

Scottish Earl is very proud of his perfume, and absolutely will not sell to some big city corporate entity. It was his dead mother's past time, and he wants to keep it in the family.

Perfume Lady tells Scottish Earl she is making a documentary about Scotland, and would like to feature the perfumery in her film. 

Scottish Earl is chuffed, and would be honoured to have his perfumery in her documentary!

Lady Snob and Scottish Ex-girlfriend are staying at Scottish Earl's Castle over the holidays because their house is (not actually) being renovated. Lady Snob printed a fake university degree and is determined to show Scottish Earl how suitable Scottish Ex-girlfriend is as a wife. 

Perfume Lady buys a used video camera and gets a quick tutorial on how to use it. This does not bode well. 

Scottish Earl takes Perfume Lady on a stroll in the Highlands to see where it all starts. Perfume Lady doesn't know how to operate the camera, she fakes it...

Perfume Lady is interviewing Scottish Earl, and basically trying to trick him into telling her the formula.

When Scottish Earl is dropping Perfume Lady off at the Inn, they are told there's no electricity. Scottish Earl offers Perfume Lady a room at the castle since there's no other accommodation available.

At dinner, Scottish Ex-girlfriend and Lady Snob figure the best way to show how suitable Scottish Ex-girlfriend is for Scottish Earl, is to show how unsuitable Perfume Lady is. Mock, mock, mock. They are threatened by Perfume Lady.

Then Lady Snob and Scottish Ex-girlfriend google Perfume Lady and discover she is a perfume seller, not a filmmaker! Uh-oh!

Scottish Ex-girlfriend tells Scottish Earl's Brother that Perfume Lady is not a filmmaker, but a perfume lady. Brother is pleased. That means the family perfume is worth more than he thought. Especially if Perfume Lady came all the way from a perfume company in New York for it! 

Scottish Earl brings Perfume Lady to his Mother's perfume lab. Perfume Lady is in heaven! Scottish Earl has to dash, but tells Perfume Lady she can play around and try to create something. 

Perfume Lady successfully makes a nice perfume for her own mother, but accidentally leaves her notes sitting out. When she goes back for them, they are missing! 

Perfume Lady finds Scottish Earl to say goodbye. Scottish Earl insists Perfume Lady stay for the festivities, and she acquiesces.

Brother makes a quick phone call to his broker. The family perfume stock is about to go up! 

Lady Snob tells Perfume Lady she should stay for the wedding in a few days... of Scottish Earl and Scottish Ex-girlfriend!

Perfume Lady quickly packs and leaves for the airport. Uh-oh a flat tire! Perfume Lady calls Scottish Earl to pick her up. 

Scottish Earl tells Perfume Lady her perfume smells wonderful. When Perfume Lady informs Scottish Earl that she mixed it herself, he tells her she should think about being a perfumer.  Then Scottish Earl asks Perfume Lady to stay in Scotland, but she says they are from 2 different worlds. She couldn't possibly. 

Perfume Lady calls the office from the airport, and is informed that Boss Lady is on her way to Scotland! Perfume Lady has to get back to the castle, quickly! 

Scottish Ex-girlfriend is making moves on Scottish Earl saying they should never have broken up. Scottish Earl is very confused, and agrees to go to the ball with Scottish Ex-girlfriend.

Perfume Lady arrives back at the castle, and is told by the Housekeeper that everyone is at the ball! Housekeeper has just the dress for Perfume Lady (It's like Cinderella)! Of course it fits perfectly.

Scottish Earl tells Scottish Ex-girlfriend they are never ever getting back together. Then Scottish Earl asks Perfume Lady to dance. Perfume Lady has to tell Scottish Earl something important, but he shushes her and says, "let's dance." 

Perfume Lady tells him the truth.

Scottish Earl has something important to say...

Boss Lady barges into the ball. Confusion reigns! Brother announces he sold the rights to the perfume to a different perfumery. They paid more than Boss Lady, and it's all about the money to Brother.

Boss Lady fires Perfume Lady.

Perfume Lady says, "Too late. I emailed my resignation hours ago!"

Father Duke arrives, clueless about all that has happened and announces the coupledom of Scottish Earl and Scottish Ex-girlfriend. Perfume Lady races off in her fancy dress. 

Scottish Earl says he is renouncing his title, and he's leaving. Brother selling the perfume was the last straw. 

Lady Snob quickly hitches her daughter's wagon to Brother since he's now the Earl. 

Perfume Lady reviews her video footage and realizes Brother stole her perfume recipe.

Father Duke apologies to Perfume Lady for getting the wool pulled over his eyes, and Perfume Lady calls him a "mute swan" (basically a bumbling idiot). He takes it well.

Perfume Lady goes home for Christmas. Scottish (not an) Earl is already at her family home. Perfume Lady quickly tells Scottish Earl that Brother sold the wrong perfume recipe.  He actually sold her new perfume recipe. Yay! What a happy accident! 

Scottish Earl loves Perfume Lady. "Come live with me, and make perfume in my castle."

Perfume Lady says nothing, and kisses him (is she now a mute swan?)

Then they get married.
