...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.

...first, and his answer matched your intent, so I think he gets to post the next one!Thanks, SystemD. I will post first thing tomorrow. I still love Triffid's poem...

...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.

...this poem, Triffid. Now on to solving the fragrance at hand...

...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.

...Triffid: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... 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?CORRECT, Triffid. GOOD JOB!During the 1940s, Cousteau is credited with improving the aqua-lung design which gave birth to the open-circuit scuba (self-contained...

...Triffid:OK, this will be wrong but.."#604 Just Breathe" by CB I Hate Perfume?You're right... OK, this will be wrong but.."#604 Just Breathe" by CB I Hate Perfume?You're right, Triffid. Your answer is wrong but thanks for trying...

...Triffid:Flavorite, the golden rule for "bargain" buys is to comfort yourself with how much you saved compared to a full price purchase, rather than how much...
