Guess that scent. A game:

Oh, that's got to be it, Cryptic.

Cryptic has it.
Apologies if my first clue was far too vague. I thought that the brand would be far too easy to pick.

We got there in the end, which is what matters.

Each image is the work of a different artist. Each artist has a perfume that shares his name. List each artist.

Vincent Van Gogh
Michelangelo Buonarroti
Andy Warhol
Francisco Goya
Salvador Dali
René Magritte
I would like to thank my Art History 101 professor -- from thirty years ago!

And that was supposed to be difficult! Oh well... it's fun to watch when somebody aces a question. Great job, SystemeD!

A Latin word
An American film
A British poem
A Roman hotel

and a Spanish fragrance

It was Cryptic, very difficult for me.

Perhaps I should clarify that all of these things share the same name.

I' d thought so, SystemeD, but thanks for clarifying. Was working on it yesterday but, well, Xmas prep etc. got in the way.....

Well, I thought this would be easy. So far, I've come up with "Duende" by Jesus del Pozo which is a restaurant in Rome, an English film and an American poetry collection. In other words, all wrong (and it's probably not even a Latin word....).
Then there's "Alegria" by Dominguez which almost ticks the boxes but not quite. "Never mind, other brands to explore!

"Invictus" by Paco Rabanne?

It means "unconquered" in latin, there was an American film by that name starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and the poem is by William Ernest Henley, who was English. Sadly, the Roman hotel looks like a dive:

Dammit, Cryptic - I forgot about Paco! Was about to revisit Loewe again. Assuming you're correct, good job!

Eep! If "Invictus" is correct maybe someone else will be kind enough to ask the next question? I shouldn't have guessed because I'm going to be MIA, sorry.

"Invictus" is correct, Cryptic!

Would Triffid like to pose the next question?

Shall do. I am embarking on a set of picture clues! (just have to work out how to do the thumbnails).

Each of the following artists has recorded a song with a title that corresponds to the name of a perfume. It helps if you're into music that's (mostly) from the 60s and 70s. Click on thumbnail to see larger image.
They are not numbered so list them from left to right. Artist and song/perfume. I will accept perfumes from more than one brand but occasionally one brand name seems like a more appropriate choice.
Extra hints: for fourth pic, you could substitute Rod Stewart, who did a later cover of this song. For pic 9, you could substitute numerous artists (including Pat Benantar and Dionne Warwick) who have all recorded different songs with this name.
Extra super bonus points for second image - big hit in 1974 (in Oz at least) and reputedly the only 11 minute rock song to reach #1.

Okay, this one is going to have to be a group effort, I think!

Here is the best I can do. I've put question marks after ones I think I've gotten wrong.

1. Sweet – "Oxygen" by Yanbal, or "Blitz" by Racco?
2.
3. The Kinks – "Lola" by Marc Jacobs
4. Manfred Mann – "Sweet Pea" by Bath & Body Works?
5. U2 – "Pride" by Boadicea the Victorious
6.
7.
8. Iggy Pop – "Candy" by Prada
9. Led Zeppelin - “Heartbreaker" by Candie's
10. Jefferson Airplane – "White Rabbit" by Old Factory Soap Company?
11. Heart – "Magic Man" by Bruno Banani
12. Petula Clark – "Downtown" by Calvin Klein
13. Tom Jones – "Delilah" by Taya
14. Jimi Hendrix – "Purple Haze" by Rich Hippie
15. The Beatles – "Norwegian Wood" by Kanon

I've managed to access the slowest wi-fi in NSW that keeps dropping out but I've persisted because the pull of this game is too strong... plus I think I know number 2. It might be Stevie Wright - "Evie" by Galimard.

6. Lana Del Ray - "Bel Air" by Molinard
7. Alecia Keys - "New York" by Parfums de Nicolai
???

To complete the list, #2 is "Evie" by Galimard, the song Evie by Stevie Wright of the Easybeats. The clue threw me at first because I was thinking "There was an 11min Easybeats hit?"

This is interesting - I suspected there might be some alternative answers but not this many! The artisits are all correct - well done, some of those pics were a bit dodgy - but I had different songs listed for 1, 4, 5, 6 and 15. I never guessed there could be so many 'correct' answers.

Hints for the alternative songs:
1. An early hit for the band, an edible Chanel?
4. A two-word song title about a bird, also released by Rod Stewart.
5. Also a Hitchcock movie
6. A ubiquitous garment.
15. Appears on The Beatles album (aka the "White Album"). Another feathered friend.

Stevie Wright's 'Evie' was indeed 11 minutes long but consisted of three parts, of which part one ended up being played the most. Released post-Easybeats era, well done Perfumecrazy and Scarletting.

Okay, given these hints, here are my new guesses:

1. Sweet – “Coco” by Chanel
4. Manfred Mann – “Pretty Flamingo” by Miro
5. U2 – “Vertigo” by Vertigo
15. The Beatles - “Blackbird” by House of Matriarch

Those are indeed the ones I had in mind.
#6 the Lana del Rey song was "Blue Jeans" by either Versace or Shulton.

Your turn again SystemeD, you guessed the majority.

This Asian cosmetics house has a French-sounding name that it shares with:

An American chain of hardware stores
An art gallery in Massachusetts
Counties in Texas and Illinois
An art gallery in the hometown of the house's founder

Bonus points if you identify my favorite fragrance from this house.

I'm going for Menard, a fragrance house from Japan (and a county in Illinois etc) and your favourite from the house being the one you own: "L'Eau de Kasaneka".
