...That has to be it!

...I thought for sure Triffid had it! Hmmm, "Heracles", perhaps?

...Sleuth is correct. :)

...My flankers are all precious, some of them are real gems. But I was the original and while I am harder to source, to those that know me I am everything.

...If this is aimed at this thread specifically, could it be "Perfumista Avenue" by Bond No.9?As for my clue, not a quote, just something I threw together. The lick, fumes and coat were all on purpose. :)

...Indeed. 8)

...I am a 'fume of fumesbut hold no flames near me!You may want a lick of mejust don't give me a taste!As much as you may want a coatits wear is counted in years!

...House is Ayala Moriel, perfumes are, in order, "Espionage", "Treazon" and "Sabotage".

..."In truth, I wanted her to read my mind so I didn't have to stoop to the womanly art of articulation.:a997a7d8ef]I'm going to have another go at "Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norell". I bought it years ago after hearing great things but I only got half way through it... put it down one day and never felt the urge to pick it back up again. Years later someone suggested it to me again and I admitted to them I didn't find it exactly a page turner. They grinned and told me the second half is much more interesting, that the book is almost split into two styles... now, what kind of author does that? Perhaps it's some kind of stubbornness reward? :wink:

...I do wish there was an easy, non-invasive way of asking other Australians if they'd like to sample swap with us though! Those were great.

...Like you Triffid I at least go by listed notes and price, but for a long time I was a blind-buy addict. I've recently toned it right down though. With every blind-buy or sample I find my tastes becoming more particular, my overall perfume sense more refined. "Fussy" in practical terms! So less and less of my blind buys are actually pleasing enough to keep. Many of them I trade on or sell as second hand to try to recoup my losses. I buy more samples now than I used to. Contacting brands directly and finding sample sellers based in Australia has helped with that, as the international sample sites often have pricey postage. Best: 24 Gold. I just got my hands on 24 Gold Oud Edition, too. Very happy with it!Worst: Rasasi attars. There's something in their attar base that just smells like overly synthetic, rose-scented cleaning chemicals to me... at first I thought it was just some bad luck with Amber Ood but I've had the same issue with Esraa and others as well.

...That's correct SystemeD. :D

...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.

..."Viking" by Royal Copenhagen. :)

...A friend gave me two miniatures from this range but the labels had come off the pretty bottles and so I've had to guess to identify them. I'm pretty sure one is Lys Soleia and the other is Pivoine Magnifica. Trying to find some way of positive ID besides going by detectable notes... might have to bring them to a counter to be 100% sure.

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

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

...Two unrelated perfumes referenced in one gif:

...Sorceress:But I do notice that although I may not smell them as well as I first did, others still do.I hope so! While I wear perfumes primarily for my own enjoyment, it does make me feel better if others can still smell them normally.
