Spilt Perfume… “What is Behind the Picture Frame” + CaFleureBon’s Top Ten City Contest

 

 

 Once again we have what I reluctantly call 'spilt perfume'. I use the term for the winners  of  fragrance draws, (all with deadlinea)  that don’t use our Rss feature , follow us daily or know that we announce our Draw Winners on FaceBook. We don't contact you; if  you want it here it is come and get it.

 Claudia Kroyier suggested that it did not seem fair for the first responders to do all the heavy lifting for “what’s behind the picture frame" and give away clues for some to copy . Managing Editor Mark Behnke suggested  that we add a twist; try to guess the top ten cities where CaFleureBon  has been  the most popular with our  readers over the past year There are 10,000 cities to choose from)  A combination of the two will determine our ONE winner.

 

 

 April Aromatics 30ml

Strange Invisible Perfumes 1.7 oz

DSHperfumes 10ml

JoAnneBassett 30 ml

Six Scents 1.7 oz

Bellefleurny

For us there is only one season, the season of sorrow."-Oscar Wilde

Concrete from Serge Lutens

 

 two samples…  because your own intials are enough

Jovoy Paris candle-tuberouse

Now, please name  the  fragrances and try to name our ten top cities. Good Luck! Contest ends October 17, 2011 (there are some hints)! Dedicated to all of you who love our draws; think of it as the game Clue. there are ten "spilt perfumes". Is it is a coincidence…yes and no.

  • Its pretty hard to guess top 10 cites as i do not know how you would know and what criteria this is based on…… so good luck to all.

  • i concur with claudias perfume choices

    except the weird reese witherspoon picture —
    what *could* that be?
    rw?
    and two of them?
    i don’t know…

    as for the cities:
    since i dont do facebook or twitter or anything other than plain pc, here are my further (equally wild) guesses:

    los angeles
    paris
    berlin

    p.s. i actually have a bottle of that very vintage cabochard parfum.
    unspilled and in it’s box 🙂
    maybe i’ll wear it tomorrow…

    As far as I see it, the writers of CaFleurebon have an uncanny ability to brilliantly marry great perfume with great art, haute couture, cuisine, Eastern philosophy, literature, etc., etc in such a way as to inspire us to go beyond our sense of smell and obsession with perfume and explore other artistic endeavors/interests (thanks to you,Olga, I am now reading M & M 🙂 ). Therefore, CaFleurebon SHOULD be read in all 10,000 cities! Nonetheless, I must guess the top 10 so here it goes: NY, Boston, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Paris, London, Milan, Berlin, Moscow.

    If I should be so fortunate as to win I will be sharing these treasures with my two girls. If I don’t have the luck I will take it as a sign from the “perfume gods” that I have enough of my own juice and may cease participating in these draws (unless of course something piques my interest 🙂 ). Nevertheless, I will still be reading on a daily basis and putting in my “two cents” once in a while!

    Thank you for this unbelievable draw, CaFleurebon!
