Are you ready to test your knowledge on fragrances? If so, let’s play a game of pure, unadulterated scent perception. By removing brand influence, we can truly focus on the fragrance itself. We’ve selected three iconic perfumes, masked their identities, and are putting your noses to the test!
Remember that perfumes are often described using top, middle, and base notes. The top notes are the initial scents, the heart notes form the main body, and the base notes are the longest-lasting and the last notes standing after a fragrance has dried down.
The Challenge:
Below, you’ll find descriptions of three perfumes, labeled simply as Perfume A, Perfume B, and Perfume C. Read each description carefully, and put your knowledge of fragrances to the test.
What notes do you detect? What images come to mind? Which fragrance do you think it might be? Share your guesses in the comments below!
The Contenders:
Perfume A (Unisex)
Imagine a windswept coastline, the air filled with the scent of sea salt and crashing waves. This unisex fragrance carries earthy sage, which adds a grounding warmth, like sun-baked driftwood on the sand. This fragrance takes you to the English countryside, a coastal community with a mix of sandy, shingle, and rocky shores.
Perfume B (Feminine)
This fragrance opens with a bright and sparkling sweetness. This feminine fragrance evolves to reveal a warm amber accord. Hints of delicate white florals add to the overall femininity, while a grounding musk provides a sensual and sophisticated feel to the scent. It speaks of embracing contradictions through its name.
Perfume C (Masculine)
A bold fragrance with vibrant energy. Men who wear this fragrance often have a reputation for being less than ideal in the dating scene. It opens with a burst of juicy citrus and crisp mint. A heart of sweet vanilla and tonka bean gives the sense of irresistible indulgence, while a woody base of cedarwood and oakmoss provides a strong and confident foundation. It’s a scent that embodies passion and power, and is named after a deity.
