How Hard Would You Work For Vintage Diorissimo?

Below you’ll find photos of seven of the miniatures. Your job is to guess the scents and their respective brands. The person who achieves the highest score will win:

• a sample of the aforementioned vintage Diorissimo (just in time for the 1st of May)*
• a sample of vintage Dioressence (from a bottle I managed to find at the Sharjah Souq)
• a brand new bottle (approx. 7 ml) of an excellent khus attar made by Ajmal

You’ll get one point for getting the name of each scent correct and one point for identifying the brand. In the event of a tie, a draw will be used to select the winner.

Please send your entries as an email to persolaise at gmail dot com. Don’t leave your answers as a comment on this post otherwise everyone else will be able to see them. Finally, please read the Terms & Conditions below before you enter.

Good luck… and please don’t feel you have to recognise all the bottles before sending an entry. I’ve deliberately included a few obscure oddities.

* Speaking of lily of the valley scents, some of you may be interested to learn that Guerlain’s Muguet 2012 (by Thierry Wasser) is available at Harrods until the 1st of May. The London store will stock only 38 bottles of the fragrance, each of which contains 60 ml of juice and costs £355. I’ll take two.
