This scene from the original Batman movie has been parodied many times so there may be a clue there, however, I'll start with the obvious:
"Batman" by Marmol and Son.
I have a few contenders for the second one.
"Original Time Bomb in Red pour Homme" has a bomb-shaped flacon and is 'original' like the movie.
Or maybe "Panic pour Homme" by Chris Adams. I have a long shot that references the nuns but will hold off until you confirm that my guesses are, as usual, all incorrect!

That's correct. Smile It was indeed Time Bomb in Red.

Goodness me, I was right! I'm still remembering the 'Snuff' clue with that pipe-shaped flacon. I shall have to return with something shortly...

I swear, I thought that one was going to be guessed right away...

This Frenchman had an uncle
And he also had a son,
All of them great noses
But for me, this man's the one;

He made so many classics,
Hermes, Gucci and Dior,
Also Rochas and Patou
And then a couple more;

This house is not a French one
But it fits in with the story,
The perfumer believed this scent
To be his crowning glory.


Who is the perfumer, the perfume and the house?
Who is the uncle and who is the son?

The perfumer: The late Guy Robert
The fragrance: Amouage Gold
His uncle: Henri Robert
His son: François Robert

You're a quick one SystemeD! Correct of course. One could compile a very nice little collection using just the perfumes from this family.

If you're familiar with Japanese culture, you already know the name of the fragrance invoked by this picture.

If you are not Japanese, here's a hint. The objects above are assembled for a certain holiday during which white rice dumplings and other round foods are served.

I'm guessing the moon festival, so "Tsukimi" by Annayake?

And that would be correct, Triffid!

Tsukimi and Miyako are my two favorites from Annayake.

I'm not familiar with the brand at all. This game is a good way to increase one's perfume education!
This is rather an easy one I'm afraid...

I'm sitting on the sofa
With no place to rest my feet,
I really need a footstool
Or a low-slung leather seat;

Imagine my surprise then,
When I purchased this online,
Turns out that it's a perfume,
Not the thing I had in mind!

Since no one else seems to be playing this week, I'll give it a go, Triffid!

"Ottoman" by Angela Flanders?

SystemeD, you are half right; what is it made from?

I offered Cú Chulainn my love but he threw it in my face, the upstart! At first I tried to trip him with my wily ways, then I hounded him, and finally I tried to bulldoze him completely.

"Morrígan" by Violette Market?

That's correct SystemeD. Very Happy

This Swiss house has treasure for men and glitter* for both men and women.

I'm a bit stumped. The closest Swiss brand I could come up with is Charriol who make lots of jewellery-themed fragrances. I had "Royal Gold pour Homme" (or the platinum one) for the men and for the ladies there's "Tourmaline" (but also a ruby or sapphire one) but that doesn't really fit the his "n" hers (or unisex) idea. Am I close?

My clue is a tricky one. If I were guessing, I'd look at a few Swiss houses, and I'd look for perfume names that appear to be in languages I don't speak.
