Guess that scent. A game:

Is it Shalimar?

Yes, Cryptic it is. Very good sleuthhound.

Dlane told me the answer last night for the quiz.

Your up.

Thank you, Cincy.

Clue #1: Unconquered

Ok, I didn't read back far enough.
I like to swoop in after all the guesses have been taken and backtrack from the answer to the original question. I'm a little backwards.

Well done Wifey

Is it a fragrance by Boadicea the Victorious?

Sorry, Darling D. Wrong house. Actually, two different houses make a perfume by this name. I'll give credit for either one.

Clue #2:

I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
~ William Ernest Henley, Invictus
A poem said to have been important to Nelson Mandela during his imprisonment.

Invictus by Amway or Paco Rabanne.

That's it, Mia. Nice job! I've been thinking about Mandela a lot lately because he is seriously ill.

Good call Mia!

Thanks! Hopefully Mandela recovers soon.

This fragrance's namesake is a colour as much as a music genre, magazine or marine animal species.

I reckon another clue might come in handy.

Thanks Mia but it didn't help me.

Dlane we will be here, you are missed.

I'm going for:



Ok, in order of the pictures below:

Colour:Sepia is a reddish-brown color, named after the rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish.

Music Genre:Sepiamusic is a Danish/American Electronic Rock duo.

Magazine:Sepia was an American magazine from the 1940s, featuring articles based primarily on the achievements of African Americans.

Marine Animal:Sepia is the Latin name for Cuttlefish.

Bravo, Dolby, Sepia is correct - but the fragrance ain't. You might want to use Advanced Search.

Ah! Silly me... Sepia by Aftelier
Thanks Mia.

Hurrah! Your turn, sweety.

Cool!
Give me until this afternoon please and I'll come back with... Something.

Right... Super easy one for you lot:

Clue one:

Looks super easy Dolby. NOT!

Ahahaha ... Fair enough.
I was just coming back to add the clues in one go but you beat me to it.
So here goes for the rest (and it's all there):

I have no idea what you're looking for but maybe I can narrow it down by guessing some of the clues. The first one looks like the Amazonian rainforest and the second I guess is green notes/accords. The third may be a Sri Lankan note...vetiver? Not sure about that one. The fourth and fifth clues appear to be cinnamon and rosewood. That's all I got.

Yep Cryptic, you've got it all pretty much correct... Now put it all together, and what do you get?


Extra clue: The name of the house is there. Say what you see. The perfume is there too, but needs a bit more logical deduction.

Okay. I think I know the house, then. Let me see if I can come up with the scent.
