Blue Bottles, part 3
This group of bottles did not want to cooperate!
From the original 350+ blue bottle suggestions, this installment showcases 90 that I consider turquoise or aqua blue. After 3 collages, there are still over a hundred blue bottles I have not used. C'est la vie.
Challenge:
In a private message, name as many of the fragrances in the picture below as possible. For each bottle, score one point for naming the house and one point for naming the fragrance.

Process:
Deadline:
6:01p.m. (CST - US), Wednesday, April 16 => 12:01a.m. GMT, April 17
Who Can Play:
Anyone who became a Basenotes member prior to April 7, 2008. Also, I would like to award the first-place prize to someone who has not won it previously.
I try to include a few obscure bottles, but don't let that discourage you from joining in!
Judging:
If more than one person has the same number of correct answers, I'll choose a random winner from those finalists.
Prize:
For 1st place: a $50 (USD) gift certificate to one of the following
For 2nd place: a Wallflowers Continuous Fragrance warmer, with refill bulbs from Bath & Body Works, generously provided by anamari.
For 3rd place: a copy of the book A Passion for Perfume by Jo Glanville-Blackburn, with color photographs by Claire Richardson.

Some of you have asked about sponsoring a color or offering a color-themed prize for one of the contests. I'm not soliciting contributions, but if anyone feels inspired to offer something colorful for a future contest, you're more than welcome to! Someone suggested candles, soaps, candy, stationery, pens, teas, books, cds, or anything else that comes to mind.
I am very grateful to everyone who has contributed to these contests in any way. It's been a lot of fun so far!

- If your browser resizes the picture to fit your window, the bottles will not be as easy to see.
- Give as much detail as you can (gender, special editions, etc.).
- There may be clues in this thread, as well as search suggestions in the other bottle contest threads linked below.
Process:
PM your list of answers, in the order that they appear in the picture. Please list them by row.
It would help to receive your list of answers all in one private message, but you may submit updates/corrections up until the deadline.
If you submit updates, please use some indicator of which answers have been added or changed (bold, asterisk, etc.).

I get some of the burning eyeballs effect when I'm searching for bottle pictures myself. I've said this before a couple of times, but knowing how obsessive-compulsive I can be, I'm a little relieved to be on this side of the contest.
