Well, I feel like a vulture swooping in (I've had a long day at work - no play for me, boo hoo). I think the hints are moving us toward something like

DNA (original)
by Bijan (1993)

Darkdreams, you took that photo? It's beautiful!

I tried to find Helix in the database but no go. DNA might just be it Haunani~

DNA it is! Great guess, Haunani! I was preparing to post my next hint - 23 - but you guessed it!

Thank you all for playing! And great photo, dd! The angle is perfect!

OK lets see what we got here...man on fire/burning/itching/scratching and a red tee shirt


so the answer could be the intent of pic one less the letters 'tee' or just less the letter 't'

But what does pic one say..

You nailed it, Riannon!!! Nice work!

You started with "Itching" and carved that "t" out. This was one of those "only one possible answer" puzzles, I think.

Thank you Haunani Lovely puzzle and indeed "only one possible answer".

Too late in the European evening for a new puzzle right now when I can't give any clues. Blame the timezones

Well, how 'bout

Chanson d'Air
by Coty (1997)

???

P.S. Thank you for the Nature Boy link. That song never fails to send me. It will always be a favorite.

Not Chanson d'Air Haunani but a great guess! And generally in the ballpark too.

Yeah...Nat..The best~ his later versions of Nature Boy have a more revved up instrumental accompaniment but this early version is so dogone good! How about that guitar player!! And what a velvet, smooth voice Nat had..

I'm coming up blank so far. However, I SO wanted there to be a fragrance called "No Strings Attached"!

I think the recording I have is a later version. His pronunciation in this one (some of the vowels) sound different to me. Yes, the guitar player is awesome! And the end is pure bliss -- as you say, SMOOTH.

Hint: A two word fragrance

Hmm...not sure if the article counts as a word. If not,
A quiet morning by Miller et Bertaux ?

Not A Quiet Morning darkdreams, although the fragrance name is somewhat in line with that thought. And yes, articles, definite and indefinite, count as a word for this puzzle.

I have one more guess then.
Imagine...Peace by Bath and Body Works.
I think there should be one called Silent Symphony
post #8490 of 10562
9/12/09 at 6:47pm
One more guess for me, too. For now anyway. This one is tough - I thought you said it was a quickie, Mr. K?

Interesting guesses, I learned something new about 'black' vetyver Not the answer I was looking for though....

Too early for clues?

You are absolutely right

Huge clue: one word fragrance.

Hâttric by Olivin?

What is in the 2nd pic? Brown eye makeup?
post #8506 of 10562
9/13/09 at 11:55am
Shall we make that 'brown makeup'? Not for eyes.
post #8507 of 10562
9/13/09 at 11:56am
Hmmm....I'll keep looking. My only guess out of the hat is
Mad hatter by BPAL
post #8508 of 10562
9/13/09 at 12:08pm
No Mad Hatter, darkdreams. It is a one word fragrance.

Look at the pictures and describe exactly what you see. Then combine it in one word. No hidden traps, no foreign language. A well known word, even famous.
post #8509 of 10562
9/13/09 at 1:40pm
It is getting late so I will have to leave now.

Last clues: it is an American house. And the word 'hat' is really hidden in the name of the fragrance A name that is a combination of three words. The words you see in the pictures.

Good night from Europe.
