Game: Guess the Fragrance by the Picture!~ PART 3

[kbe]

Aside from Vintage or Show-Off?

Perhaps Miroir des Majestés by Thierry Mugler.

No to both, but valiant efforts Riannon

I'd say Silky Underwear by Lush, but that's two words, not three!

Haha! A smiling no Aiona

::grateful for 3 cups of coffee::

How about Bas de Soie by Lutens?

Hmm, does not quite fit the hint "The answer is a particular description of the clothing in addition to who it is for"

Again a no mon cheri


hint: A small French house with 3 or less fragrance listings in the Basenotes Directory

[Aiona]

You are on the right runway concentrating on something to do with clothing. Not Guilded Lily however.

Well, he's got all those fleur de lis on his cloak... so maybe
Fleur de Louis?
by Arquiste (2011)

Hmm.. but Arquiste has 6 perfumes listed in the directory.

[kalli]

hint: what would such clothing as Louis XIV is wearing be called today in the trade?

Fluff or pirate gear? LOL. Royal, classic, victorian, antique?

[kbe]

Right Aiona. Arquiste has too many listings to be the answer. But...if you would like to, please play around with Louis and address him by name in a sort of diminutive but phonetic way. You may be the one to clothe him properly as clothes maketh the man, do they not? ..but wait. Maybe for this puzzle it is the other way around...hmmm

Fluff or pirate gear? LOL. Royal, classic, victorian, antique?

Kalli there is another, all-encompassing word used today to describe Louis' clothing.


..and as for me I am enjoying this!

[PerfumeCollector]

Minotaure by Paloma Picasso

[kbe]

Minotaure by Paloma Picasso

LOL...if the picture of the horned guy was the puzzle pic I would be tempted to say yes, however it is a no for Minotaure

[PerfumeCollector]

Horny Little Devil by Smell Bent for the horny guy LOL



For the Clothing of King Louis I have no clue

[kbe]

Am I to take the lack of activity as the white flags being waved? Hmmm?

[Aiona]

No no! I'm thinking!!!

[kalli]

Ok lol..more words for old and dated in this case:

Renaissance, shabby, timeless, patriarchal, dated, old, retro(lol), historical, grand? Lol, more fun for you I guess if I am off, lol.

[Riannon]

The painting is described as "Portrait de Louis XIV en costume de sacre", so his coronation gown.
Coronation / crown / sacre...all dead ends

[kbe]

hint: concentrate on a single word description that would fit the entire process of what/why/how/for whom (not necessarily only royalty) such clothing was made then and now. What is that entire process called? There is a name for it today. Get that and the rest is easy.

[Riannon]

Hardly able to log in, no access to Directory...BN is having a lot of problems.

KBE, when it is Couture pour Lui by Philippe Venet, you better start running

[kalli]

Tailored? Fitted? Custom? lol

[kbe]

KBE, when it is Couture pour Lui by Philippe Venet, you better start running

Umm...yes dear Riannon. You (finally) got it correct with Couture pour Lui

::SOS! SOS! SOS! (STOP) CLEAR THE TRACK...(STOP) I WILL BE RUNNING THROUGH MOMENTARILY. (STOP) PLEASE STOP AND DETAIN THE ATTRACTIVE WOMAN SWINGING A BIG ENGLISH DICTIONARY AND CHASING ME! (STOP) SOS! SOS! SOS! (STOP) (END)::

[kalli]

Lol..I would never think of the word couture, lol.

[Riannon]

Umm...yes dear Riannon. You (finally) got it correct with Couture pour Lui

::SOS! SOS! SOS! (STOP) CLEAR THE TRACK...(STOP) I WILL BE RUNNING THROUGH MOMENTARILY. (STOP) PLEASE STOP AND DETAIN THE ATTRACTIVE WOMAN SWINGING A BIG ENGLISH DICTIONARY AND CHASING ME! (STOP) SOS! SOS! SOS! (STOP) (END)::

Well, you had your revenge my dear Phew, it was a bumpy ride. Thanks and I am almost tempted to say: lol by Lulu Castagnette

- - - Updated - - -

If anyone is interested to play, here is a new puzzle.

Fragrance only.

[kbe]

The pic looks like a Frank Frazetti style fantasy painting but a quick search of his work didn't bring up the image.


So...I will lead off with Far away Fantasy?

[Riannon]

Certainly a nice guess but not the right answer. It is not important who this picture made or what the original title was (if it even had one). Just the image is important.

[kbe]

OK then, how about Champion Black by Al Rehab

or perhaps Hero by Prince Matchabelli (among others)

..and two outside shots at the hoop: Nike Up or Down Man by Nike or

Heaven Sent by Dana...or the reverse: Sent From Heaven

[insomniac]

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Wings of Azrael?

[hednic]

Straight to Heaven?

[PerfumeCollector]

Wings by Giorgio of Beverly Hills

[kbe]

more..weeding out the more obvious

Black Angel or Angelique Noire?

[hednic]

Heaven by Chopard?

[Riannon]

Some very good guesses there but still not what I am looking for. KBE, I love that Nike Up or Down Man
Looking at the picture, there is room for some doubt hmm? (this is a hint) Good try with Wings of Azrael, Insomniac.

Second hint: think French.

[Aiona]

KBE, when it is Couture pour Lui by Philippe Venet, you better start running

Heh!

As for Riannon's latest puzzle... I too thought of Azrael.

But how about Revelation
by Pierre Cardin (2004)?

[Riannon]

Right language Aiona, wrong number of words

When BN goes on behaving like this, I am leaving!


Update: I only now realize that Revelation is both an English and French word (in French actually written as Révélation). To be perfectly clear: I assumed Aiona meant the French word.

[docluv45]

AngelMen

[Riannon]

AngelMen

That's not French, docluv45

Three words in French please.
