...Toy Boy - edgy and modernNo. 88 Cologne - old-school and complex Voleur de Roses - classy rose-patch combo

...Cryptic:I see what you're saying, Epi. The message is sort of mixed and schizophrenic, but I still can't help liking the thought behind the perfume. Thanks for posting such a darling clue for us. :)You are welcome, Cryptic :) I just couldn't resist a jab at that pathetic marketing spiel, sorry... Anyway, if I were the guy expecting to be proposed to, I would be wearing roses :lol:

...Triffid:Regardless, I hear good things about Dior's take on the idea and thought Cuir Cannage (why do I always read that as 'Pure Carnage') might be worth sampling, though I doubt it will trump Chanel Cuir de Russie or Cuir de Lancome, both of which I own and also cost less than the Dior option. I'm also curious about Cuir Cannage. The one that always wanted to sample though is "Diorling", which is all but impossible to find these days. I know it's been reformulated and reissued, but is the new reincarnation any good? Does it even resemble the original? Anyone know?

...Cincy:Agree it should be the answer. If not make it so :!: :lol:And the right answer it is!"I have just one chance, this much is clear,Whisper to her it is now leap year"Not only this may be a (clever??) workaround for guys who are too shy, we now also have "February 29th" the perfume, which "symbolizes the energy manliness" and "stands out with its strength, power and warmth", according to the blurb on the Anfasic Dokhoon site. Good stuff to make sure she doesn't change her mind at the last moment :lol:

...Can't think of anything clever right now, so how about this: name the perfume the lucky guy should be wearing

...My favorites are vintage "Diorella" and "Fahrenheit". Both of them didn't fare well in reformulations...and I don't have Fahrenheit anymore :cry: I also like "Eau Sauvage Fraîcheur Cuir", a great variation on the classic theme, in my opinion.

...comicsSoap opera or space opera?

...Brown Sugar by Rich Hippie?some hippies were rich by 1971, weren't they :wink:

..."Trayee" is a beautiful fragrance that has a prominent blackcurrant note.Regarding masculines with a blackcurrant vibe, "Silver Mountain Water" and "Mefisto" come to mind. Too bad raspberry is a no-go, otherwise I would suggest "Tuscan leather", which smells red-berryish to my nose.

..."you will smell my awesomeness before I arrive" :lol: :lol: :lol: haha, that's awesomeI am definitely a patchouli type. (Is this like a zodiac sign, perfume-wise, hmmmm...)

...Jimi HendrixPaper book or Kindle?

...Cryptic, you've spotted the most important clue.Yes, what I had in mind was one of those goofy-sounding CW flankers. Precisely, this one: Cool Water Woman Sun, Sea and Surf ... which, I now see, is not in Parfumo's database :shock: "Cool Water Game for Her Happy Summer" - ha-ha, I think that one actually beats mine, you win.

...It does seem to fit (seven words, no kidding)... but it's not it. Please try again.

...Winter Olympicssome of the sports they introduced in Sochi, like slopestyle, were just amazingWindows or Mac (...or Linux)?

...DonVanVliet:Parfumo is the Esperanto word for perfume live and learn :lol:

...Triffid:I always wanted the woman to turn around and slap that smug and impertinent guy Doesn't she look like she's about to? smack him in the face with that thing she's holding in her left hand? :DI haven't smelled either perfume, although I had heard about Tramp, that line was a dead giveway. I see that it can be had for close to nothing these days (reissued version of course), but I can't find notes anywhere and there are only a few reviews out there. I guess because it's so cheap no one seems to be interested?No more brainy stuff for me today. The name of the next fragrance must describe the scenery below in seven words.

...Damn, those housewives with their crepe de chine dresses led me off track.May I offer you this then (ah, the the male curiosity clue, now I see)"Tweed" was apparently also marketed by Lenthéric as Risque-tout in non-English speaking countries. The other one must be "Tramp".

...I'm pretty much shooting in the dark here. Are we talking about "Crêpe de Chine" by any chance? That would explain the housewives-from-the-fifties association... I have no idea if Madame Millot, the founder, was a hairdresser though. No wait, she did produce some hair ointment (thank you Wikipédia). And it was apparently a big hit - Pommade à la Graisse d'Ours (seriously, bear grease??) As for the slutty teenage daughter, I'd go with "Insolent / L'Insolent" then.

...Kissesunless we are talking here about Hershey's candies, in which case I choose Hugs :wink: and since we are on the topic,Milk chocolate or dark?

...ScentFan:That's beginning to happen. I smell something new and think..Oh, that's just like X and I don't buy it. Before when it was all new I bought perfumes I wouldn't buy now.Apicius:The good news is that once you have spent the value of a well-equipped VW Golf you start buying less. You realise that most of the new perfumes resemble something you already have in your collection, and they are hardly better. :)Agree 100%. Good finds have become pretty rare for me lately. Last year I bought one bottle, to be exact. Or maybe I'm not "with it" anymore.
