Is the figure descending one thing or the exact opposite? Three words in French. You could put a question mark behind the name of the fragrance.

Extra hint: Audrey Hepburn was the muse of the founder of the House.

Absolutely not! I tried the angel/ange search early on and somehow overlooked Ange ou Demon on the list otherwise it would have rang a loud bell, remembering the pic. Very good puzzle, and the pic does tell the story!

Ah, that explains it Sigh of relief. So, I can safely crawl out of my corner again and go to bed without a guilty conscience?

Thanks Aiona.

I found the image as a desktop wallpaper without a name of the artist. Would not be surprised if it was taken from a computer game.

Riannon that pic reminds me of myself, sans wings, coming down the stairs in the morning when I know the coffee is yet to be made.

Not the answer I am looking for Riannon.

No one has it yet.

hint #2: The answer is in English
hint #3: The character shown is a cartoon version of one in a famous play (obvious I would think)
hint #3: One (rather abstruse) word of the answer could describe the mindset of the protagonist

Excellent guess Riannon but Yorick is secondary to the character the pic's image represents and knowing who is necessary in order to get to the correct answer.

hint #4: one of the words of the answer describes the play's protagonist's general station/class in fictional life.

WINNAH!!!!

Apothic, for those interested viewers who may be studying this Thread in some future era for humanity's benefit, has as one of its definitions: Apothic--depressed, melancholic.


Well now, you made that look easy!

I just did a search on how easy/difficult it is to solve this puzzle and I think you might need some extra information.



Clue needed for the first picture. Only the man is of importance here.

Checkmate Immortal Mine is the answer! Well solved.

Just curious: would you have guessed it without the picture of Max Ernst? I could not find that chess set in a google search without his name.

Riannon you happened to hit on a hobby of mine: chess. I have been playing since my pre-teens and have an extensive chess library. The set is a famous one to those who devour chess related items/news/arts. Once recognized as the famous work of Max Ernst: "Immortel", the puzzle fragrance name I considered a good match was not hard to located in the directory. So the answer is I didn't need the picture clue you so generously provided but anyone without my knowledge of that particular chess set most likely would have.

In other words, I got lucky!

Thanks hednic!

* and did you know that we have at least one chess International Grandmaster who is a Basenoter(from the USA)?--and it certainly isn't me. I'm a patzer...

I knew it was your hobby, we have been talking about it and it was the reason I put up this picture. But I became uncertain about the fame of the set when a serious lifelong Max Ernst admirer (one of our past players) did not know about it

It feels good to get lucky sometimes, no?

Oh yes, I do know one. And don't you ever say of yourself that you are a patzer. Never! Ever!

Aiona, this is an equal opportunity game. The winner is not obliged to make the next puzzle, so everyone can join in

On your puzzle: Dream Come True by America's Next Top Model / Animale Temptation Man by Animale Parfums / \tLe Beau Male by Jean Paul Gaultier / Denim Musk by Denim / Man Blue by Sans Soucis...(I only just started).

You did say those dreaded words: "fairly easy" hmm

Okay. Maybe it's not as easy as I thought.

Here's another hint: It's a job.

I looked for that yesterday, docluv45, but those Jolly Rancher fragrances are 4 and 5 words. Aiona said: 2 words. Pity.

Perhaps Mustang Man by Mustang Fragrances? Does not really sound like a job either though

No, but again, it's close. I mean, here's a hint. What makes you say "rodeo," hednic? And why "Mustang," Riannon? There's something missing from the picture, yes?

There's something one kind of expects to be in the picture, but isn't. Right?

Because we are thinking of a horse. Well, he is missing his shirt as well, but that is a dead-end street.

I have tried everything with horse/cheval/Pferd/equus/caballo/kuda/cavalo and the only things that comes close is Cavalli Man.
