Numerical Fragrance Names

post #1 of 33
Thread Starter 
Well, with nothing better to do on my lunch hour I started thinking about the fact that so many fragrance names have numbers in them. Numbers are everywhere and I like them but I am no mathematician! I just word associations. I know a few members here will appreciate this kind of a list.

There really aren't any rules but I guess I'm trying to compile a list of fragrance with numbers in them OR related to numbers. For instance, my clever example for 23 is Michael Jordan since his jersey number was 23. What I really don't want to see a lot of is No. 89 Floris or simple stuff like that however sometimes there's nothing else to fill in the gap.
Here's the list so far. I'm sure it can go on to infinity!

Ah yes, the Chanels! Classics

Eternity is a good one.

Perhaps the Le Labo line (I do have Rose 31), they're like periodic table element numbers... Wait that gives me an idea for some good ones...

4. Carbonique
8. Oxygene
13. Acier Aluminium
22. Titanium by Lamborghini
46. Palladio (palladium)
47. Silver Black
78. Platinum Egoiste
79. Amouge Gold
81. Thallium

corresponding numbers on the Periodic Table of the Elements

88. Czech & Speake No.88

I just added Clive Christian X probably while you were typing your post! Also one L but not the Lolita Lempicka.

Chrome itself isn't an element but it is derived from chromium, excellent.

And I really like the day and night one!

Maybe that'll work for you? The number 15 is bold and right on the bottle!

It's got ylang-ylang and jasmine and sounds feminine but listed as unisex.

Infini by Caron might be appropriate for the list.(Infinity)

Also Domenico Caraceni 1913

Sparta by Gal (100 Spartans)

Ice Water by Silvestre (The temperature that liquid water transitions to ice at standard atmospheric pressure is 0 degrees Centigrade, -32 degrees Fahrenheit and 273.15 degrees Kelvin

That's "ace", right? In German 'As' means 'ace' in playing cards.
