...s a link to my manifesto on this topic:PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES DO NOT WEAR PERFUMEhttp://salondeparfum-sherapop.blogspot.com/2012/05/people-with-allergies-do-not-wear.html :twisted...

...Nice, I would like to hear some more feedback about that one :)S.o.t.D.: Cerruti 1881 (homme)Sherapop's review is dead on....sweet fougere accord saved from being too sweet by the cedar and patchouli. Unique, wonderful, and dirt cheap. I put it on at...

...this one blind based on Sherapop's glowing review. She's right...it smells fantastic...

...blind because of Sherapop's review, "Insolence Eau Glacée". Liking this...

...Looking at my windowsill this afternoon, I realized that the reason why these four bottles are completely drained is because I can wear them anytime and spray on with reckless abandon--they are all feel-good perfumes for me:

...Micallelfluv1 seems to be right! Could anything be uglier???? :shock:I'll guess Anna Sui "Dolly Girl". Those bottles really creeped me out when I saw them, but now that I see the others, maybe they aren't quite as bad. Close, though. Very close... :o

...Cincy:Wow! Great job Triffid.To wrap this round up, I heartily exhort anyone who has not already seen it to go watch "The Third Man"--one of my favorite films of all time--and also to go buy a bottle of the Caron perfume, which is an excellent unisex scent, its name notwithstanding. :D

...Triffid:Got it. "Le 3E Homme" by Caron. The movie is 'The Third Man' starring Orson Wells as Harry Lime.(I did revisit the Carons several times but at that stage was looking for fruit clues and Japanese people).Yes! Congratulations! :D

...Another hint:the film is in black and white...and the citrus in question is not yuzu, nor bergamot, nor grapefruit\\ :P

...Dulcemio:Inexplicably, MY CATS LET ME SLEEP UNTIL 9:45 THIS MORNING.I have been through the ringer recently, healthwise.. First a URI a few weeks ago that knocked me OUT for a few days, then just as the coughing is subsiding, I get the worst stomach flu of my life, up all night and next morning visiting the loo 50 times for both reasons. Then when the deluge finally ended, I slept for 18 hours, only getting up once to tend to the felines and drink water. I am finally feeling back to normal and they gave me two extra hours of sleep today. God bless 'em. I wish I could give them all a starbucks "thank you" gift card. Sometimes pets are so cool.I don't think that it's inexplicable! Cats are very intuitive. HRH Emperor Oliver used to provide lots of moral support whenever I was ill!Glad that you are feeling better--keep the kitties close to you! :)

...MicallefLuv1:I am going to,take a stab and say Timbaktu? Where Victor Mature plays an ex pat!No, but keep the film titles coming! WWII, surname of protagonist is a citrus but no citrus in the perfume name, ... YUZU Man was very close in a couple of other ways!!!! :twisted:

...Triffid:This is a real stretch, but I started thinking that our ex-pat American with the citrus name that is not his official name might, in fact, be something like the defoliant herbicide cocktail used to devastating effect during warfare, none other than Agent Orange. Which leads to a war-related perfume...Couldn't find anything pertaining to Vietnam and I already used the 'Nuclear Edition' series from Teufelskuche a few posts ago (which you may or may not have seen). Yuzu man might be a Japanese soul so I'm proposing this one, which also happens to contain yuzu:"Hiroshima mon Amour" by Nez a Nez.Nice analysis. There is a war related to this protagonist, and it is indeed WWII, and you are getting closer because the name of the perfume is also the name of a film! :wink:

...Dlane1953:Looks like a marijuana joint to me. :oIs that the voice of experience I hear?Oh well, now it's legal! :o

...Another hint: Yuzu Man was not far off in a couple of different ways! :shock:

...Triffid:Well I don't think it's "Yuzu Fou" so maybe it wasn't the yuzu after all...maybe the "man" part was the direction I should be heading. So how about "Mandarina Duck Man" by Mandarina Duck? I see fruit, I see a fictitious man and perhaps the ex-pat element could be satisfied by the chinese mandarin association?If this is incorrect, at least I've made a good argument.Nice argument--agreed. Wrong answer though.Hint #4: the name of the citrus is NOT in the name of the perfume. The perfume name refers to the person, but is not his given name... :twisted:

...Triffid:So not "Yuzu Ab Irato No.9" by Perfumerie Generale?No. Keep trying! :wink:

...Hint #2:The person in question is fictional...Hint #3:Also an American expatriate... :twisted:

...Cincy:"Kumquat Alhambra"by Comptoir Sud PacifiqueNo, sorry--keep trying! :)

...Triffid:My first thought was "Yuzu Man" by Caron but then...Continue with that first thought... it may lead you to the correct answer! :P

...I'm so sorry for the delay! I had a lot to do yesterday, so I should have thought before guessing! Here's a new one:Hint #1:The name of this perfume refers to a man whose surname is the name of a citrus fruit.
