Guess that scent. A game:

It is not a Jo Malone.

The bottle is black, if that helps.

Is it "Drakkar Noir"?

:

or Magie Noir

Drakkar Noir is the correct answer.

This limited edition French niche perfume is apparently available only in the United States and was created by a perfumer renowned for mainstream designer blockbusters.

Name that perfume!

Good one Sherapop, I have no idea.

Will be waiting to see the corect answer.

How about a note hint? This perfume contains a notable orange blossom presence...

I keep thinking of Morillas, but I can't find a fume that fits the description.

Not Morillas but someone at least as famous!

Outrageous?

That's it!

Frédéric Malle "Outrageous!", created by Sophia Grojsman or is it Grosjman

Anyway: you're up!

Yay for wild guesses.

I think we need an easy one for a change. What was the first in a series of transparent perfumes by a famous minimalist perfumer?

Issey Miyake l'Eau d'Issey?
(By the way, this is one of the best threads ever! Even though I don't have enough knowledge to participate much, I am really enjoying watching you guys go at it! Fun!)

I'm going to go with the obvious guess: Jean-Claude Elléna and the first of the Jardin series,

"Un Jardin en Méditerranée"

I agree with Dulcemio: this is my favorite thread!

You got it, Sherapop. Your turn!

Even though I didn't guess correctly (not surprisingly), may I fill in with one of my own while waiting for sherapop to bring her next brainteaser?

It will be too easy, I'm sure:

It was released several years after Obsession by another mainstream designer, some say as an Obsession wannabe, and was reportedly discontinued for staining clothes.

i am going to guess... Guess

Yep!

Thrilled, I wiil wait for the last winner to have her turn.
OK?

Sherapop, your turn.

Sorry for my lateness and absence. Please go on without me, and I'll come up a question by tomorrow!

What two perfumes that start with a B, that were worn by Queen Elizabeth ll.

Some easy question. I had no clue whatsoever.

Let's face it, dahling, it's just that the air you breathe is more rarefied than Obsession and Guess. Your knowledge of perfumery goes so much deeper.

Is this a bad time to tell you that my SOTD is Sunflowers? I just read everything I can find when it comes to perfume and I guess some of it sticks, is all. The other thing is, try finding a real life friend who likes to talk about perfume. It's impossible from where I sit. So I try to take advantage of the opportunity on sites like this one when I find other perfume people.

Slummin' it today, ay? LOL!

Nah, I know what you mean. And like a true parfumista, your perfume interests run the gamut.

In contrast, my taste is so narrow, and I barely know anything about the ones I do love. I read about Guess because I like it and wear it more than Obsession. It's not in the parfumo database, though.
