...Greysolon:Triffid:Greysolon posted something before me, but now it's gone. Perhaps he was editing it when I posted my reply, as he was onto the same idea...I thought I was going to be all helpful and say something about why I thought Triffid had the correct answer with "Mimosa". Then I realized my quote from Wikipedia had -unintentionally- the correct answer! :oops: My timing in Guess That Scent has been really lousy as of late. Sorry! :roll:Greysolon, I thought as much, though I was already looking it up when I came back and saw your fleeting post. Please take this next one as I am still trying to find a word that rhymes with 'episode'.

...SystemeD:Montale Chocolate Greedy?Haha, YES!I am going back to the fragrance poems so just give me a minute to compile my verse...

...Greysolon posted something before me, but now it's gone. Perhaps he was editing it when I posted my reply, as he was onto the same idea..For the next one:This fragrance could be Augustus Gloop's signature scent.

...Actually, it might be "Farnesiana" by Caron, then. I was just looking it up when I saw your reply.

...I was going to say "Mimosa" by Caron but these plants don't have spines, or at least the ones used for fragrance don't.

...Could it be "Yuzu man" by Caron?

...SystemeD:Tommi Sooni, Jinx?SystemeD you are CORRECT!Tommi Sooni is a niche fragrance house from Australia. According to director, Steven Broadhurst, the company was named for his sister's imaginary childhood friend Tommi Sooni. Jinx = cursed,bad luck Jinks = cartoon cat

...Triffid:Another clue, or some clarification, perhaps? This is the information thus far:1. This house is named after a man who doesn't really exist. 2. The man's name sounds a little bit Asian (English/Chinese perhaps) but this house is not Asian.3. This house has a fragrance that's bad luck. Perhaps it's cursed.No takers yet?4. This is a small niche house from an English speaking country in the southern hemisphere.5. The fragrance name is a homophone for a particular feline cartoon character.

...I'm getting better thanks to good ol' Google!Here is the next one. Fragrance and house...This man has bad luck with fragrance. He may sound Asian but he's from somewhere else entirely. In fact, he doesn't even exist.

...Is it: by Kilian "Bamboo Harmony"?

...Well done, chaps! A bit of local history from my home town. I'm making these too easy.Flaconneur got in first but Greysolon also added the name of the man, as requested, although Flaconneur knew this as a result of his research. Toss a coin guys.

...OK, this is a bit presumptuous, but due to the difference in time zones between me and just about everybody, and the fact that I'll be offline tomorrow, I'm posting a new question JUST IN CASE I WAS RIGHT.Please ignore if I was wrong!Here it is (another riddle). Not an obscure one, but the story behind it is quite touching.Last century in SydneyThere was a homeless man,He walked the streets and alleysPiece of chalk clutched in his hand;In copperplate he wrote one wordOn footpaths and on walls,Every day this word appeared,The mystery baffled all;Fast forward to the eveningAs the new millenium dawned,The clock struck twelve, all eyes were raisedThis word was what they saw;Salvation? Ever after?No one knew the words intent.One thing's for sure - a fragranceWasn't what the old man meant.Who was the man and what is the fragrance?

...Think I've got it.The house is O Boticario, a cosmetics giant from Brazil that started as a small prescription pharmacy.They have a number of fragrances with the word coffee in the title e.g. "Coffee Man" "Coffee Woman" etc.Brazil is a major producer of coffee but so is Java.You also mentioned "having a coffee" before posting the clue.

...Well all I can think of is Kiehls, which started as a pharmacy and is not from Java, but I don't think that was the point of that clue. Anagram turns up nothing.Could we have another clue please?

...Still thinking....

...I'm glad you enjoyed the poem, Flaconneur. I must say that this game can be quite educational - I learned a lot sbout Jacques Cousteau and Scuba gear! I've never participated before because the answers always seem to be such obscure perfumes. I've just clued in on the fact that the fragrance directory is a big help when you have an answer in mind.

...Congratulations Flaconneur, you are CORRECT! SystemeD, you are ALSO correct, although I didn't have that house in mind when I wrote the riddle. The house clue was "Christian faith" (Creed) but your answer covered that perfectly as well.Well done both of you - you can decide amongst yourselves who goes next.

...Whew! Glad to put that one to rest! I think we were all circling the target without actually hitting it.Here's my offering - it's probably too easy after that last one, but here goes.It's a riddle. We are looking for TWO fragrances, folks.From the same houseThey share part of their name, Of Christian beliefThough more different than same;Opposites, yes,But affection is there,They sell themselves well,They're a popular pair;She dressed for her wedding,All virtue and passion,But her funeral attire,Was the opposite fashion;Their names hold all colours,But paradoxically, none,Both lightness and darknessWhen all's said and done.

...So, if it's contained in the word SCUBA and it's neither self-contained or underwater, it must be "The Breathing Apparatus" by Violette Market?
