Time for yet another clue:

Name the house and fragrance. Here's the question:

1. This fragrance is not for the ordinary man.
2. Using this fragrance might lead to a more friendly society.
3. This is yet another fragrance with a lovely bouquet.

Something from the Rich Hippie line? Perhaps "Flower Child"?

"The Odd Fellow's Bouquet" by Atkinsons really doesn't fit the second clue but what the hay.

Edited to add: Oh, wait... yes it does. The Odd Fellow's Society. Very Happy

CORRECT! Great job, Cryptic. Your turn.

Thank you, Flac. Smile

Name the perfume that features the following image on the bottle:

A peacock,

The Eiffel Tower,

The English alphabet.

All three fragrances are from the same house.

Nope, Cryptic. I can find individual fragrances that meet the criteria but not from the same house. Perhaps another clue for the clueless?

Sure, Triffid.

The name of one of the perfumes is a phrase that often appears on a bookplate.

This house has many fragrances, none of them were created while she was alive.

230 fragrances certainly qualifies as "many" so I'm going for Possets as the house and perhaps "Emily Dickinson - In The Graden" as the fragrance.
Emily was well and truly in the grave when this brand was founded, though I don't discount the possibility of other deceased ladies in the fragrance titles (I stopped about page 4 when I spied the first one).

Sorry wrong answer.

Don't put to much thought into many fragrances. All her fragrances are not listed in our system.

House name is what I want.

Well then, there's always Marilyn Monroe. Two frags, one with unknown release date and the other is 1965, three years after her death. Pretty sure you didn't have this house in mind.
So, perhaps Annie Oakley?

I am discounting Dorothy Gray and Elizabeth Arden because some of their frags pre-date their deaths.

Sorry wrong answer.

Many would say this girl married way to young, I believe a lot of young ladies wed early back in those days.

Jean d"Albret (1528-1572) listed in the directory as Orlane/Jean d"Albret. Married at age 12.
11 years ago
Nope, She was older then 12. Time period is later also.

She had a very troubled life.

Some info of H H Ayer

amazingartdecodivas.blogspot.com/2012/01/ayer- harriet-hubbard-cosmetic-pioneer-c.html

The story of Harriet Hubbard Ayer (1849-1903) reads like a modern day melodrama the likes of which read more like fiction than the transgressions of real life. Yet, this indomitable woman, determined to succeed took matters into her own hands and rose above the stigma of divorce, kidnapping, madness, seduction, betrayal and the loss of her cosmetic business to reinvent herself again as a world famous journalist who penned a column of beauty and cosmetic advice to a devoted audience of women and men. At a time when most women did not work Ayer established Recamier Preparations, Inc., the first cosmetic company owned and operated by a woman but a male dominated society would curtail her entrepreneurship. Vindictive and jealous men in her life punished her for her ambition, accomplishments and seized her children. These egregious setbacks did not squelch her spirit.

Thanks for the interesting history, Cincy.
Did you notice my tenacity? The dogged pursuit of the answer when I was past caring and seemed to be all alone? Poor Harriet. I'm glad I kept at it, just for her sake.

Here is the next one:

What is Satan cooking?
Nothing cheerful here it seems,
This goth house has you covered
When fulfilling morbid dreams;

You're sure to make an impact
When you're wearing this perfume
The mushroom cloud of sillage
Would do more than clear a room;

There's four in this edition
And I think I'll need all four,
My enemies surround me
And I want to win the war.


Four fragrances from one house.
Easy peasy!

Er, no takers? Time for a break?
For any interested punters, the main clues are in line 1 and line 7. German speakers would find it easier to solve the house clue.

Did everyone fall asleep?

How about these four from Teufelsküche:

"Nuclear Edition - Atomic Risk"
"Nuclear Edition - Boom!"
"Nuclear Edition - Noxius"
"Nuclear Edition - Toxic Gift"

Oh Yay, a response! You are quite right Flaconneur!
This brand (translated as "Devil's Kitchen") has an interesting assortment of fragrance names to be sure.
We look forward to your next clue.

Name this fragrance and house:

1. This fragrance takes its inspiration from the gardens of the Maharajas.

I know this first clue is just a teaser to get us in, with further clues providing clarification once we've taken the bait!
So I'll throw this one in:
"Shalimar" by Guerlain, after several royal gardens of the same name in India?
