...Thanks for that information, Guapo. I have a couple of the cans now, and at 125ml they should last me a while, but it's good to know there's no appreciable difference with the newer version. I may even lift the user ban on Mr Triffid, whose style is to borrow my perfumes and spray lavishly and often when he finds something to his liking.

...I echo what Dulcemio said, Jumbotron; serious perfume lovers tend to eschew age and gender marketing in favour of what floats their personal boat. However, as your question relates to actual votes by members here on Parfumo, I'm guessing Cool Water has garnered 30% of the 'young' wedge of pie because that style of aquatic/calone heavy fragrance came into being in the 90s, which is relatively recent in perfume terms. The logic, therefore, is that you are more likely to smell this 'modern' style on someone born since it's creation as people tend to identify with perfumes from their own era. I don't necessarily agree but that's my theory. Incidentally, 30% young, and 16% old, leaves 54% ...(middling age perhaps?). If you like it wear it, I say! Worth noting that it's fun to play against type and wear the unexpected.

..."Geranium Bourbon" from MH is one of my favourite perfumes, a must-try if you enjoy lush rose and geranium, but it's the only one I've tried from this house (yes, it was a blind buy). Performance-wise, it has nice projection and longevity in the "acceptable" range. Not a great deal of development but I'm so smitten with the scent that I tend to forgive any shortcomings. I've been tempted to blind buy others, especially "Fleur du Matin" and "Terre de Bois", especially as I can buy them online in my own country for less than half retail price, but mixed reviews on performance have given me pause. On the plus side, the bottles are gorgeous and, like the Lutens bottles, come with the option to use as a spray or splash, very handy for decanting.

...I have just added "Acqua di Carthusia Geranio" by Carthusia to my collection. It's all about geranium with some citrus and spice. Worth sampling for geranium lovers

...I see the kilt appeal in that ad, Cryptic (ankle socks notwithstanding) but I think most of those blokes would look good in anything!Greysolon, I was thinking about kilts but searched fruitlessly for Scots or Scottish. Ended up pursuing headless horsemen instead.

...Oh, surely that must be it, Pandasmom! Welcome back to the game.

...I'm submitting this answer because I'm almost certain it's wrong."Sleepy Hollow" by Deep Midnight Perfumes?(Anagram solver? I didn't know there were such things. I write the letters in a circle and look for syllable patterns - I guess that's the equivalent of Writing text using quill and ink.)

...Welcome Briarthorn. Good to see you initiating and participating in forum discussions.

...Correct again, Cryptic!

...Oh dear, apologies. It should be gilded with one "l". I should have worn my glasses, I really thought there was only one. Sloppy work! From that question, I think you have the answer Greysolon?

...The following phrase contains the names of three perfumes from one house.A gillded coil

...Thanks Cryptic, moss and dust in that one, though seeing as I have the attic type scents covered, I thought something a bit more coniferous might complete the northern hemisphere Christmas illusion more convincingly: fake tree, fake snow, fake smell.As for the clue, as there are no takers I present this link to the original article about the "Axe" body spray phenomenon (sold as "Lynx" in my country)http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2013/10/axe_men_s_body_spray_what_happens_when_a_woman_wears_it_for_a_week.html

...Cryptic, I have one of those "shrubby everlastings" in black. It's a seasonal thing. Smells like dust.As for the clue, that article was hilarious and painfully true. Let's see who works it out.

...I knew you'd work it out Cryptic! Well done. I don't think the gift they're referring to is a severed horse's head though, likely some German fairytale unknown to me.

...If there are no takers just yet, I shall post a clue.I hope this is not too difficult. One perfume.This mystic brand sells many oilsWith names to match, of course,But this "tale" only brings to mindThe head cut from a horse.

...Greysolon, we welcome your enthusiasm most enthusiastically. When I got to five houses, I got lazy and stopped looking but all credit to you for that extensive and (to my mind) shameful list. I have nothing prepared, it's bedtime now so I'll sleep on it and see if any elves have posted a clue overnight.

...Flanker madness! Even the flankers have flankers! Are there people out there who collect these as sets? I don't think I own a single flanker of anything except a couple of GWP minis and Joy/eau de Joy which seem to be different releases of the same perfume.I think Greysolon should have the next turn as he outed so many offenders. Unless shy I-don't-do-clues-Cincy would like a turn?Actually, it's Cryptic's call anyway.

...Hope to hear from others as well. As a start: Marc Jacobs "Daisy"Guerlain "Shalimar"Guerlain "La petite Robe Noir" Dior "Miss Dior"Thierry Mugler "Angel"Honourable mention to "Fahrenheit" with a modest ten flankers.

...Great clue, Cryptic! I see it as The Marketing Shame File. or "Who's succumbed to corporate greed?"

...Spot on, Cryptic. Poor old Porthos! I was watching a re-run of Slumdog Millionaire the other night and was reminded of the last question he is asked "Who is the third Musketeer?" to which he correctly guesses Aramis. I'm ashamed to say that I never read the books and had no idea that Aramis was not just a classic men's fragrance.
